The SESAR investigator-initiated trial completes patient enrollment
The SESAR trial, comparing sevoflurane via the Sedaconda ACD with intravenous propofol for up to 7 days is led by professor Matthieu Jabaudon and his team from Clermont Ferrand, France. The patient population consists of 700 adult patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory failure. The primary endpoint is ventilator-free days up to day 28 from randomization. Secondary endpoints include changes in pulmonary and other organ functions. The same research group published pilot study results in 2017, which led to this larger study, designed to corroborate the preliminary findings of the pilot.
“I am very happy that we have finally reached the enrollment target and I am very much looking forward to analyse the data and to see the results”, said professor Jabaudon. The work with data curation and analysis is expected to take at least until second half-year of 2024. Sedana Medical will not be involved in analysing the results.
“This is the largest clinical trial using the Sedaconda ACD, and on inhaled sedation in general, and the results are important. ICU sedation is challenging, especially in patients with ARDS. Any potential beneficial effects beyond sedation would make a new modality of sedation very attractive. Large trials, comparing outcomes after different sedative therapies may change the way patients are sedated during mechanical ventilation. We are very happy that the recruitment has been completed and are excited to learn about the outcomes”, said Peter Sackey, CMO of Sedana Medical.
