Trial summary

Actually, Schnider and Cortinez models represent pharmacokinetics models of propofol more complete published until now. Schnider was derived from 24 healhty people, and including other covariates in addition to weight, such as age, height and lean body mass though. Schnider model should not be used in obese patients.

About this study

Official title: Phase 4: CLINICAL EVALUATION OF TWO PHARMACOKINETICS MODELS OF PROPOFOL IN HEALTHY PEOPLE

Actually, Schnider and Cortinez models represent pharmacokinetics models of propofol more complete published until now. Schnider was derived from 24 healhty people, and including other covariates in addition to weight, such as age, height and lean body mass though. Schnider model should not be used in obese patients. Cortínez model was derived from 20 obese patients. The differences between both models has been founded at the initial drug distribution, that means V1 and the constant Ke0 ( pharmacokinetics factors that define the plasma-effect equilibration time). We believe that Cortinez model also could be used in No OBESE patients because is an allometric model, and one way to evaluate and to compare both pharmacokinetics models is studying the temporary course of the effect.

The main objective of our study is to evaluate BIS and Cardiac Output values during propofol-induced sedation using Schnider and Cortinez models in Target Controlled infusion in non obese healthy volunteer.

Read the detailed description

The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Avila Clinic. After informed consent, 10 volunteers aged 18-60 años, ASA I, Body mass Index < 30 were included.

The patients fasted for 8h before the protocol and they will not receive premedication. After arrival in the operating room, and insertion of 18-gauge intravenous cannulas placed into the forearm, a Ringer's lactate solution will be initiated. Oxygen therapy at a rate of 5 litres per minute will be administered in spontaneous ventilation. In case of hypoventilation (saturation (SaO2) <95% manual ventilation with a mask at 10 l/min of O2 will be administered. All volunteer will be monitoring with EKG, Blood pressure, Pulse Oximetry, Bispectral Index and Cardiac output.

Propofol will be administered using a commercially available target-controlled infusion with an incorporated pharmacokinetic model developed by Schnider and Cortinez (arcomed ag, Medical System, Switzerland ). Each volunteer will be studied twice, that means which each subject then acts as their own control.

The study will make in two stages:

STAGE I: All volunteers will receive propofol infusion with the first model randomly chosen (Schnider or Cortinez) using Target Controlled Infusion device, and the initial effect-site target concentration of propofol will be 3 ug/ml for 20 minutes.

STAGE II: 72 hours after stage I . All volunteers will receive propofol infusion with the first model randomly chosen (Schnider or Cortinez) using Target Controlled Infusion devices, and the initial effect-site target concentration of propofol will be 3 ug/ml for 20 minutes.

Lost of consciousness will be evaluated by an independent observer using two different criteria: OAA/S score <2 (OAA/S2) corresponding to the absence of response to moderate prodding and loss of eyelash reflex (LOER). Time to OAA/S2 and time to LOER will be measured as well as corresponding brain and plasma concentrations of propofol. At the same time, BIS and Cardiac output values will be recording.

After 20 minutes, the infusion will be stopped. Recovery of consciousness (ROC), which will be assessed every 10s until patients wake up, and the values of Ce, BIS and Cardiac Output.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) activity will be monitored by BIS Quatro platform® electrodes and a BIS VISTA™ 1.01 monitor Vista the bispectral index (Covidien, USA). The information will be recording every 20 seconds The cardiac output will be measured using Monitor ICON ® Electrical Cardiometric ™

Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, SaO2, respiratory frequency will be measured before to start propofol infusion and then every 3 minutes until the end of trial. A decrease in systolic arterial pressure ≥30 % of the basal value will be considered as hypotension, and heart rate <45 defined bradycardia.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS This is a prospective, descriptive and comparative study. We will use the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney nonparametric test applied for two independent samples

What is being measured

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

  1. Sedation Levels

    We will use Ramsey Sedation Scale to evaluate LOC at the beginning of the infusion and after 20 minutes we will evaluate the recovery of consciousness after the infusion is stopped.

    Measured: During propofol infusion period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bispectral index values

    We will use BIS monitor (BIS Vista, Covidien). The data will be collected in excel data sheet

    Measured: During a propofol infusion period

  2. Hemodynamics values

    We will measure cardiac output using Monitor ICON ® Electrical Cardiometric ™, every 3 minutes.

    Measured: During propofol infusion period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Evaluation of propofol effect in people with Healthy, run by Tiva Group at 1 site in Venezuela.

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 5 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 23 Sep 2014. 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 Venezuela. 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?

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?

Sedation Levels (time frame: During propofol infusion period). 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 23 Sep 2014.
