Overview

In our ICU, it could notice that patients with cerebral arterio-venous malformation (AVM) treated with embolization develop more severe Ventilator Associated Pneumoniae (VAP) compare to other patients hospitalized for neurological diseases. The Dimethylsulfoxyde (DMSO), the solvent of the embolization implant, is known to have immune effect on vitro analysis. The investigator want to prove that exposition to embolization implant for a cerebral AMV modify the cytokines production involved the system immune's regulation.

Description

Cerebral AVM are defined by abnormal connections between arteries and veins. For treatment of this vascular malformation, embolization is the gold standard. Embolization agent is made with vinylic alcohol ethylene (EVOH) copolymer which (the embolization implant) and the DMSO which is the solvent. During the injection of the product, DMSO dissipates in the bloodstream, and the EVOH precipitates and forms the embolus. It knows that DMSO had in-vitro immune effect (inhibits signalizations ways of innate and acquired immune response, decrease of pro-inflammatory cytokines production and decrease INF-γ and TNF-α production). DMSO could decrease activation and recruitment of leukocytes, which could expose patients to an increased risk of infection.

The investigator will dose cytokines in 3 blood samples (preoperative, H+6 and H+24) in planned patient's hospitalized for cerebral AVM embolization. The cytokine content of the plasmas will be analyzed with multiplex ELISA technic

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.
