About this study

Official title: Study of Routs of Naloxone Administration for Opioid Overdosed Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine which route of administration is better for treatment of opioid overdosed patients

Read the detailed description

In intravenous drug abusers (IDUs), as a result of previous intravenous substance abuse, the predictable difficult cannulate exist and cause the delay administration of antidote therapy. Additionally, IDUs are also at increased risk of carrying blood borne infections that could be transmitted to healthcare workers through needle stick injuries. The investigators aimed to compare intranasal administration of naloxone with intravenous route.

Being tested
Intranasal naloxone, Intravenous
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intranasal naloxoneDrug

    spray naloxone, 0.4 mg/ each 4 minutes till increasing patient level of consciousness

  • IntravenousDrug

    Amp naloxone, 0.4 mg / each 4 minutes till increasing patient level of consciousness

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. level of consciousness

    The investigators evaluated the level of consciousness with Glasgow coma sclae 4 minutes after naloxone administration

    Measured: 4 min after naloxone administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. blood pressure

    The investigators evaluated blood pressure 4 minutes after naloxone administration

    Measured: at 4 min after naloxone administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intranasal naloxone and Intravenous in people with Morphinan Opioid Overdose, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2011. 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 Iran. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

level of consciousness (time frame: 4 min after naloxone administration). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Feb 2011.
