Chronic SinusitisPhase 3NCT00852410

The Hemostatic and Hemodynamic Effects of Adrenaline During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

A Phase 3 study testing 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline and 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by University of Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Obtaining adequate hemostasis is crucial during endoscopic sinus surgery. Submucosal injection of local anaesthetic containing adrenaline has frequently been used to improve surgical milieu. However, injection of adrenaline has potential side effects including tachycardia, hypertension as well as inducing arrhythmia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Hemostatic and Hemodynamic Effects of Adrenaline During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Randomized Clinical Trial

Obtaining adequate hemostasis is crucial during endoscopic sinus surgery. Submucosal injection of local anaesthetic containing adrenaline has frequently been used to improve surgical milieu. However, injection of adrenaline has potential side effects including tachycardia, hypertension as well as inducing arrhythmia. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the hemodynamic and hemostatic effects of two different concentrations of adrenaline in local anaesthetic used during endoscopic sinus surgery.

Being tested
1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline, 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline and 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline in people with Chronic Sinusitis, run by University of Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ali Moshaver, MD (250-276-5050, moshaver@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction of Intraoperative bleeding (time frame: during surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00852410, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jun 2010.
