About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Open Label Study to Determine Pharmacokinetics of Phenylephrine and Pharmacodynamic Effects on BP Via IV Admin of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Inj in Ped Subjects (≥12 to 16 Years of Age) Undergoing Gen and Neuraxial Anesthesia

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose effect of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Injection on the treatment of clinically relevant decreased blood pressure in the pediatric population, ≥12 to 16 year old patients undergoing general and neuraxial anesthesia.

The secondary objectives are to describe changes in blood pressure and heart rate, time to onset and to maximal response, and the duration of response; to assess the safety of the product in this population; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of phenylephrine hydrochloride.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 4 multi-center, randomized open-label study in 100 subjects aged ≥12 to 16 years who experience a decrease in blood pressure during a procedure requiring general or neuraxial anesthesia. At least 300 subjects will be enrolled in this study. It is anticipated that up to 33% of enrolled subjects will actually experience a decrease in blood pressure that requires treatment and so will receive Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Injection (PHI). There are 12 possible randomization assignments: one of six initial treatments PHI will be initially administered to approximately 50 subjects as an intravenous bolus (IV-B) at Low (1 μg/kg), Med (3 μg/kg), or High (5 μg/kg) level; PHI will be initially administered to approximately 50 subjects as a continuous intravenous infusion (IV-I) at Low (0.25 μg/kg/min), Med (0.75 μg/kg/min), or High (1.25 μg/kg/min) level]; each initial treatment group will have two pharmacokinetics (PK) sampling schedules.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Phenylephrine in people with Hypotension, run by West-Ward Pharmaceutical at 10 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 23 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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 J. Barton Kalis (856-489-2247, jkalis@hikma.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plasma Phenylephrine (PE) concentrations will be measured using a validated liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) assay. (time frame: Screening up to Day 3). 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 Jul 2024.
