Investigating proteins linked to capillary leakage in circulatory failure

Role of Candidate Proteins in Capillary Leakage During Acute Circulatory Failure

Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05586282

This study is trying to see if certain proteins in the blood are linked to fluid leaking from blood vessels in patients with different types of circulatory failure.

What this trial studies

This study examines the relationship between circulating candidate proteins and vascular leakage in patients experiencing three types of circulatory failure: cardiogenic shock, septic shock, and post-resuscitation syndrome. It aims to describe the immuno-inflammatory profiles associated with significant vascular leakage during these conditions. By understanding the determinants of vascular leakage in humans, the study seeks to provide insights that could improve patient management in intensive care settings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with septic shock, cardiogenic shock, or post-resuscitation syndrome who meet specific clinical criteria.

Not a fit: Patients without one of the specified forms of circulatory failure or those unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better understanding and management of vascular leakage, potentially reducing mortality in critically ill patients.

How similar studies have performed: While the study addresses a critical area of research, the specific approach of linking candidate proteins to vascular leakage in humans is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
