CytoSorb Therapy in COVID-19 (CTC) Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multicenter, Retrospective Registry.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: CytoSorb extracorporeal blood purification therapy received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to suppress hyperinflammation in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The multicenter CTC Registry was established to systematically collect patient-level data, outcomes, and utilization patterns of CytoSorb under the EUA. Methods: Patient-level data was entered retrospectively at participating centers. The primary outcome of the registry was ICU mortality. Patient disposition of death, continuing ICU care, or ICU discharge was analyzed up to Day 90 after start of CytoSorb therapy. Demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 medications, inflammatory biomarkers, and details on CytoSorb use were compared between survivors and non-survivors in the veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cohort. Results: Between April 2020 and April 2021, 52 patients received veno-venous ECMO plus CytoSorb therapy at 5 U.S. centers. ICU mortality was 17.3% (9/52) on day 30, 26.9% (14/52) on day 90, and 30.8% (16/52) at final follow-up of 153 days. Survivors had a trend toward lower baseline D-Dimer levels (2.3 ± 2.5 vs. 19.8 ± 32.2 μg/mL, p = 0.056) compared to non-survivors. A logistic regression analysis suggested a borderline association between baseline D-Dimer levels and mortality with a 32% increase in the risk of death per 1 μg/mL increase (p = 0.055). CytoSorb was well-tolerated without any device-related adverse events reported. Conclusions: CytoSorb therapy for critically ill COVID-19 patients on ECMO was associated with high survival rates suggesting potential therapeutic benefit. Elevated baseline D-Dimer levels may suggest increased risk of mortality. Prospective controlled studies are warranted to substantiate these results.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to characterize continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) utilization on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to determine the association of both fluid overload (FO) at CRRT initiation and fluid removal during CRRT with mortality in a large multicenter cohort.MethodsRetrospective chart review of all children < 18 years of age concurrently treated with ECMO and CRRT from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011, at six tertiary care children's hospital. Children treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis were excluded from the FO analysis.Measurements and main resultsA total of 756 of the 1009 children supported with ECMO during the study period had complete FO data. Of these, 357 (47.2%) received either CRRT or were treated with an in-line filter and thus entered into the final analysis. Survival to ECMO decannulation was 66.4% and survival to hospital discharge was 44.3%. CRRT initiation occurred at median of 1 day (IQR 0, 2) after ECMO initiation. Median FO at CRRT initiation was 20.1% (IQR 5, 40) and was significantly lower in ECMO survivors vs. non-survivors (15.3% vs. 30.5% p = 0.005) and in hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (13.5% vs. 25.9%, p = 0.004). Median FO at CRRT discontinuation was significantly lower in ECMO survivors (23% vs. 37.6% p = 0.002) and hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (22.6% vs. 36.1%, p = 0.002). In ECMO survivors, after adjusting for pH at CRRT initiation, non-renal complications, ECMO mode, support type, center, patient age and AKI, FO at CRRT initiation (p = 0.01), and FO at CRRT discontinuation (p = 0.0002) were independently associated with duration of ECMO. In a similar multivariable analysis, FO at CRRT initiation (adjusted adds ratio [aOR] 1.09, 95% CI 1.00-1.18, p = 0.045) and at CRRT discontinuation (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19, p = 0.01) were independently associated with hospital mortality.ConclusionsIn a multicenter pediatric ECMO cohort, this study demonstrates that severe FO was very common at CRRT initiation. We found an independent association between the degree of FO at CRRT initiation with adverse outcomes including mortality and increased duration of ECMO support. The results suggest that intervening prior to the development of significant FO may be a clinical therapeutic target and warrants further evaluation.

Project description:ObjectivesThe CytoSorb therapy in COVID-19 (CTC) registry evaluated the clinical performance and treatment parameters of extracorporeal hemoadsorption integrated with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) in critically ill COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory failure under US FDA Emergency Use Authorization.DesignMulticenter, observational, registry (NCT04391920).SettingIntensive care units (ICUs) in five major US academic centers between April 2020 and January 2022.PatientsA total of 100 critically ill adults with COVID-19-related ARDS requiring VV ECMO support, who were treated with extracorporeal hemoadsorption.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsBaseline demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory values and outcomes were recorded following individual ethics committee approval at each center. Detailed data on organ support utilization parameters and hemoadsorption treatments were also collected. Biomarker data were collected according to the standard practice at each participating site, and available values were compared before and after hemoadsorption. The primary outcome of mortality was evaluated using a time-to-event analysis. A total of 100 patients (63% male; age 44 ± 11 years) were included. Survival rates were 86% at 30 days and 74% at 90 days. Median time from ICU admission to the initiation of hemoadsorption was 87 h and was used to define two post hoc groups: ≤ 87 h (group-early start, GE) and > 87 h (group-late start, GL). After the start of hemoadsorption, patients in the GE versus GL had significantly shorter median duration of mechanical ventilation (7 [2-26] vs. 17 [7-37] days, p = 0.02), ECMO support (13 [8-24] vs. 29 [14-38] days, p = 0.021) and ICU stay (17 [10-40] vs 36 [19-55] days, p = 0.002). Survival at 90 days in GE was 82% compared to 66% in GL (p = 0.14). No device-related adverse events were reported.ConclusionsIn critically ill patients with severe COVID-19-related ARDS treated with the combination of VV-ECMO and hemoadsorption, 90-day survival was 74% and earlier intervention was associated with shorter need for organ support and ICU stay. These results lend support to the concept of "enhanced lung rest" with the combined use of VV-ECMO plus hemoadsorption in patients with ARDS.

Project description:Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a relevant technology for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute cardiac failure (ACF), is a frequent cause of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. During sepsis, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations decrease, and an association between low lipoprotein levels and poor outcomes was reported. There are no data from patients undergoing ECMO. The goal of this study was to characterize the lipoprotein profiles of ICU patients requiring ECMO. All consecutive patients admitted for ARDS or ACF requiring ECMO were prospectively included. Daily lipoprotein levels and short-term prognosis outcome were assessed. 25 patients were included. On admission, lipoprotein concentrations were low, under the reference values ([HDL-C] = 0.6[0.4-0.8]mmol/L;[LDL-C] = 1.3[1.0-1.7]mmol/L). A statistically significant rise in lipoproteins overtime was observed during the ICU stay. We found no relationship between lipoproteins concentrations and mortality on Day-28 (p = 0.689 and p = 0.979, respectively). Comparison of surviving patients with non-surviving patients did not reveal any differences in lipoproteins concentrations. Stratification between septic and non-septic patients demonstrated that septic patients had lower lipoproteins concentrations on admission (HDL-C: 0.5[0.3-0.6]mmol/l vs 0.8[0.6-0.9]mmol/l, p = 0.003; LDL-C: 1.1[0.9-1.5]mmol/l vs 1.5[1.3-2.6]mmol/l; p = 0.012), whereas these two groups were comparable in terms of severity and outcomes. HDL-C concentrations during ICU hospitalization were also significantly lower in the septic group than in the non-septic group (p = 0.035). In conclusion, Lipoprotein concentrations are low in patients requiring ECMO but are not associated with poor outcomes. The subpopulation of septic patients had lower lipoprotein levels overtime, which reinforces the potential key-role of these particles during sepsis.
