简要总结
The purpose of the this Pilot Trial is to determine the feasibility of conducting a large randomized controlled trial (RCT), that aims to examine the efficacy and safety of using pantoprazole compared to placebo for stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU.
详细描述
Background For almost 4 decades, stress ulcer prophylaxis to prevent upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding has been standard of care in the ICU. The 1999 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists guidelines recommend stress ulcer prophylaxis for the critically ill. The 2013 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend stress ulcer prophylaxis for patients mechanically ventilated for > 48 hours or with coagulopathy. However, GI bleeding rates are significantly lower today than in the past, potentially reduced by optimal resuscitation and early enteral nutrition. Additional concerns include whether acid suppression has any impact on bleeding at all, and whether acid suppression does more harm than good, given the apparent increased risk of more common, serious problems of pneumonia and Clostridium difficile infection. Further, prophylaxis has become almost universal rather than targetted at patients at risk of GI bleeding. Thus, clinicians and investigators globally are calling for a re-evaluation of acid suppression with a large Randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing proton pump inhibitor against placebo.
Objectives To determine the feasibility of performing a large RCT to investigate whether intravenously administered pantoprazole, compared to placebo prevents clinically important gastrointestinal bleeding in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), based on 3 outcomes: the informed consent rate; recruitment rate, and protocol adherence
Design Prospective, concealed, stratified, randomized, blinded, multicentre trial.
Setting Canadian and Saudi medical-surgical university-affiliated ICUs.
Methods Patients will be stratified by center, and medical/surgical/trauma status, then will be randomized to intervention or placebo using an allocation ratio of 1:1 and undisclosed variable block sizes. Research pharmacists will prepare identical 100ml mini-bags of the pantoprazole 40mg or placebo with blinded research labels for once daily dosing.

入选标准
- •Adults ≥ 18 years
- •Anticipated invasive mechanical ventilation of ≥48 hours, determined by the intensivist
排除标准
- •Invasive mechanical ventilation >72 hours before randomization.
- •Patients who must receive PPI due to active bleeding or increased bleeding risk (e.g., patients with acute GI bleeding, recent severe esophagitis, Zollinger Ellison syndrome, Barrett's esophagus, peptic ulcer bleeding within 8 weeks [mild dyspepsia or mild gastroesophageal reflex disease will not be excluded])
- •Receiving dual antiplatelet therapy aspirin and clopidogrel prior to randomization
- •Palliative care or decision to withdraw advanced life support (patients with a decision to forgo cardiopulmonary resuscitation will not be excluded)
- •Previous enrolment in this or a related trial
- •Physician, patient, or substitute decision maker (SDM) declines
- •Two or more 'daily doses' of prophylaxis with H2RA or PPI (one day of a single PPI dose is not an exclusion criterion if once daily dosing of PPI prophylaxis was administered; one day of bid [twice daily] dosing of an H2RA is not an exclusion criterion if twice daily H2RA prophylaxis was administered; one day of tid [thrice daily] dosing of an H2RA is not an exclusion criterion if thrice daily H2RA prophylaxis was administered).
研究组 & 干预措施
Placebo
50 ml of 0.9% Normal Saline Intravenously once daily
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
Pantoprazole
Pantoprazole 40 mg in 50 ml 0.9% Normal Saline Intravenously once daily
干预措施: Pantoprazole (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Consent Rate
时间窗: 12 months
This will be calculated as the overall proportion of consented patients of those substitute decision makers (SDMs) approached (with 95% CI). A successful consent rate will be defined as ≥70% of SDMs approached to consent.
Recruitment Rate
时间窗: 12 months
A successful recruitment rate will be defined as achieving enrolment of 90 patients, conventionally expressed as 2 patients per center per month over 12 months.
Protocol Adherence
时间窗: 12 months
This will be calculated as doses of study drug administered as a proportion of doses prescribed and associated 95% confidence intervals. A successful adherence will be defined as ≥80% of prescribed drugs being administered.
次要结局
- Clinically important upper gastrointestinal bleeding(During ICU stay (expected average is 10 days))
- Ventilator associated pneumonia(During ICU stay (expected average is 10 days))
- Mortality(During ICU and hospital stay (expected average ICU stay is 10 days, expected average hospital stay is 30 days))
- Clostridium Difficile infection(During ICU stay (expected average ICU stay is 10 days))
