Manel Sabate and his team in Spain Hospital Clinic de Barcelona randomised EURO SHOCK first patient. Congratulations to the team.The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven hosted member of EURO SHOCK for a one day meeting at the beginning of December. The successful meeting was an opportunity to discuss the project advancements, the trial and plan 2020.
Prof. Truls Myrmel and his team from the University Hospital of North-Norway have received the green light to start recruiting their first patients. This important step for the EURO SHOCK clinical trial on CGS comes after months of intense work. Other institutions will start recruiting in the coming weeks. The process to approve a recruiting site is led by the clinical trial sponsor, who takes responsibility to initiate, and manage or finance the clinical trial, but does not conduct it. This role in EURO SHOCK is performed by the University of Leicester. The EURO SHOCK consortium put months of intense work into the preparation of the trial. Common documentation, including consent forms and patient information material, are jointly developed by EURO SHOCK’s ten clinical centres and the sponsor. Each site also has to undergo their country-specific ethical process, which required the translation of the documentation into local languages. The last step in preparation for the trial is the Site Initiation Visit (SIV) to monitor and ensure the site is ready to recruit patients. Source:

The recruitment target is to randomise more than 400 patients in 34 months starting from 1st February 2019. Twelve university hospitals set up pan-European recruiting network with more than 45 cardiovascular centres to test early ECMO in patients with cardiogenic shock once and for allAn extensive network of the foremost cardio-vascular hospitals from nine European countries are working together in the EURO SHOCK trial to determine the efficacy and cost benefit of very early ECMO in patients with cardiogenic shock. On 12th December 2018 investigators gathered at the Royal Society of Medicine in London for the last preparations before the trial begins. The recruitment target is to randomise more than 400 patients in 34 months starting from 1st February 2019. Every year across Europe more than 50’000 patients are diagnosed with Cardiogenic Shock. Women and the elderly are at highest risk to this severe condition, which is a complex and hemodynamically diverse state of end-organ hypoperfusion. On 12th December 2018, EURO SHOCK will be having the official kick-off meeting for all its European recruitment centres. The meeting will take place from 10AM - 4PM (UK Time) at the Royal Society of Medicine Wimpole Street in London, UK. For delegates arriving one day before, there will be a joint dinner near the conference venue.
--- Update --- Registrations for the meeting have closed on Monday 3rd December 2018 at noon. Thank you for your overwhelming support and interest! All registered for the meeting have received a confirmation email. We are looking forward to welcoming all in London and should you have any questions in the meantime concerning the event, please write the EURO SHOCK Dissemination Manager Ms. Isabel Sørensen on contact@euroshock-study.eu After months of hard work, the EURO SHOCK Trial has now successfully received Sponsor Approval for study documentation. This means that the process of obtaining regulatory and ethics approval in the participating countries can start. Today, the Principle Investigators (PIs) of all national recruiting networks at Beneficiaries have received all necessary documents to proceed with this.
We are excited to follow the process and start recruitment in the beginning of 2019! In the middle of the trial set-up we are pleased to announce that we are expanding our recruitment network to include more high-calibre recruiting centres in Belgium and Germany as well as one in Austria! Please have a look at the newly updated webpage with details of all recruiting centres involved in EURO SHOCK.
