Trial summary

Etomidate is an unique drug used for induction of general anesthesia and sedation. Adrenal cortical inhibition by etomidate has received much attention. However wether the circadian rhythm and pulse secretion pattern of cortisol in children are the same as that in adults is not known. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Circadian Rhythm of Salivary Cortisol in Health Children ;Phase 2 Study of Circadian Rhythm of Salivary Cortisol of Children Undergoing Surgery Using Etomidate or Not Using Etomidate.

Etomidate is an unique drug used for induction of general anesthesia and sedation. Adrenal cortical inhibition by etomidate has received much attention. However wether the circadian rhythm and pulse secretion pattern of cortisol in children are the same as that in adults is not known. Moreover, the effect of etomidate on circadian rhythm changes and clinical outcomes has never been carefully studied in children undergoing surgery. Our hypothesis is that etomidate can relieve the changes of circadian rhythm of salivary cortisol in children for 24-48 hours,and this does not make clinical outcomes worse postoperatively.

Read the detailed description
  • Sample size assessment: Using formula to calculate the total number is 30.
  • Statistical analysis: ANOVA
  • Reporting for adverse events: During the period of study, if there is any severe adverse event happening, such as severe infection, severe low cortisol concentration threatening the patient's life we will stop the trial.
Being tested
etomidate, midazolam, propofol
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in salivary cortisol at the operative day

    At the time of 8am(baseline) and at the time of 8pm in the operative day , get salivary samples to calculate the change of salivary cortisol

    Measured: baseline(8am), 8pm

  2. Change from baseline in salivary cortisol at the first day after surgery

    At the time of 8am(baseline) and at the time of 8pm in the first day after surgery , get salivary samples to calculate the change of salivary cortisol

    Measured: baseline(8am), 8pm

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Numbers of Acquired Infection Events

    Acquired infection using extra antibiotics(not prophylactic antibiotics) after surgery.

    Measured: up to 10 days after surgery

  2. Numbers of using inotropic drugs

    Inotropic drugs include norepinephrine, adrenaline, phenylephrine and dopamine.

    Measured: within 3 days

  3. Days of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery

    Days of stay in ICU after surgery.

    Measured: up to 10 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing etomidate, midazolam and propofol in people with Congenital Hydronephrosis and Congenital Choledochal Cyst, run by Du yi at 1 site in China.

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 17 Dec 2013. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Chen yijun (86-21-13764206966), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in salivary cortisol at the operative day (time frame: baseline(8am), 8pm). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Dec 2013.
