About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Propofol Nanoemulsion and Propofol Lipid Emulsion on Children Undergoing Ambulatory Invasive Procedures.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the of propofol nanoemulsion and lipid emulsion for sedation in non-invasive ambulatory procedures.

Read the detailed description

Nanoemulsion of propofol has been developed without lipid solvent in the formulation to minimize the adverse events such as pain of injection, redness, heat, phlebitis.

Conditions

What is being measured

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

  1. Classification of the sedation level

    Instantly after the loss of consciousness (loss of corneal-palpebral reflex) will be measured the sedation using the Ramsay Modified Scale.

    Measured: time 0

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time of latency

    Time between the injection and loss of the corneal-palpebral reflex

    Measured: 3-10 seconds

  2. Pain at injection

    The pain will be measured by CHEOPS Scale which evaluates the behavior of the child against pain.

    Measured: 3 - 10 seconds: during the injection

  3. Physician satisfaction

    The satisfaction of the medical specialist will be assessed through a questionnaire that assesses conditions of sedation for the procedure.

    Measured: 12 hours: end of procedure

  4. Awakening time

    Time between the last dose of propofol and the time when the patient awakes (cry, eyes opening and spontaneous movement).

    Measured: 10 hours: when the patient awakes

  5. Total dose

    The total dose used will be measured in mg/kg/hour.

    Measured: 12 - hours End of procedure

  6. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Adverse events will be compared in its incidence in the two formulations of propofol during the anesthetic induction and 12 hours after the procedures.

    Measured: 0 to 14 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing propofol in people with Leukemia, run by Cristália Produtos Químicos Farmacêuticos Ltda..

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 11 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined 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.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Classification of the sedation level (time frame: time 0). 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 26 Mar 2014.
