Timely and safe extubation in critically ill patients is vitally important as prolonged mechanical ventilation and failed attempts at extubation are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, costs, intensive care unit (ICU) stays, and a risk for aerosolization of COVID-19 to health care providers. A Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) is the current standard of care to assess a patient's readiness for extubation. However, SBTs are performed in various ways and have poor ability to predict successful extubation on their own. There is an urgent need to improve and standardize extubation decision-making. In a prior multicenter study, the investigators showed that decreased respiratory rate variability during SBTs predicted extubation failure better than other predictive indices.
The Extubation Advisor (EA) tool combines clinician's assessments of extubation readiness with predictive analytics and risk mitigation strategies for individual patients. In a single centre observational study, the investigators demonstrated the ability to deliver EA reports to the bedside and acceptability of this decision-support tool to respiratory therapists (RTs) and physicians (MDs).
The investigators will conduct the Liberation from mechanical ventilation using EA Decision Support (LEADS) Pilot Trial to assess feasibility outcomes. They will include critically ill adults who are invasively ventilated for \>48 hours and are ready to undergo an SBT.
Patients in the intervention arm undergo an EA assessment and treating clinicians (RTs, MDs) will receive an EA report for each SBT conducted. The EA report will help to guide extubation decision-making. Patients in the control arm receive standard care. SBTs will be directed by clinicians.
The primary feasibility outcome will reflect the ability to recruit the desired population. The investigators will also assess the usefulness of the tool to MDs and complete an analysis of resource utilization to inform future economic analyses of cost-effectiveness. The investigators aim to recruit 1 to 2 patients/month/center.
The LEADS trial is novel and low-risk. It is the first trial to evaluate use of a bedside decision support tool to assist ICU clinicians with extubation decision-making. The LEADS pilot trial will inform the design of a future, large-scale randomized controlled trial that is expected to enhance the care delivered to critically ill patients, improve extubation outcomes, and inform extubation practice in ICUs.

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
