NCT ID: NCT03212690

Last Updated: 2020-04-01

Results Overview

Blood samples were collected for renin-angiotensin system biomarkers at indicated time points. Evaluable Population consisted of all participants for whom pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), ratio of right ventricular to left ventricular end-diastolic area (RV size ratio), Ang II and Ang(1-7) data have been recorded for at least one study time point, and who did not retrospectively withdraw the consent.

Participant Flow

This study elucidated the association of the Renin-angiotensin system and right ventricular (RV) function in mechanically ventilated participants. This study was conducted at two centers in France from 11-June-2018 to 08-July-2019. A total of 57 participants were enrolled in this study.

The study was terminated as overall probability of project success was considered low. The study had significant programmatic risks identified with development plan for Recombinant Human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme2 in critical care including participant identification, uncertainty around potential to impact mortality and operational feasibility.

Pearson correlation coefficient between PASP and Ang II level was derived using all available data from participants in the evaluable population. Pearson's correlation coefficient is a measure of the linear dependence between 2 variables. A correlation of +1 or -1 may occur if the data from the 2 variables lie exactly on a line. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS).

Pulmonary circulatory dysfunction is defined as moderate dysfunction (pulmonary arterial systolic pressure \[\>40 millimeters of mercury\] or a dilated RV end diastolic RV/left ventricle \[LV\] area ratio \[\>=0.6\] but without septal dyskinesia). At risk Population consisted of participants who satisfied following criteria: 1. pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and ratio of RV to LV end-diastolic area recorded for all three study days \[regardless of the Ang II and Ang(1-7) status\] and/or; 2. databased acute cor pulmonale/pulmonary circulatory dysfunction and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) assessment during the study period (even if they do not have three days worth of study assessments for the echo outcomes) were evaluated for acute cor pulmonale/pulmonary circulatory dysfunction and ARDS incidence rates.
