ARDS in Children and ECMO Initiation Strategies Impact on Neurodevelopment (ASCEND)

Study on ARDS in kids and ECMO's effect on brain development.

Recruiting
14-20 years
All
Phase N/A

ASCEND is a study looking at children who need a special life support called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to a condition called pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). ECMO acts like an artificial lung outside the body to help children breathe when their lungs fail. The study aims to understand how these children do in life and compare outcomes between two groups: one using a specific breathing machine plan and the other using usual ECMO care.

Researchers will follow children for up to one year, checking their abilities and quality of life at different times. They will use existing data from two sources: PROSpect, a trial testing other breathing methods, and ELSO, a registry of children who had usual ECMO care. The study will measure if there are differences in survival, health, and need for breathing support.

  • Participation can last up to a year with multiple check-ins.
  • The study may involve surveys and assessments at various times.
  • There are no risks associated with participating in the study, as it uses existing data.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
