Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 45 weeks to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects whose consent is obtained in writing prior to the clinical trial from a guardian after a full explanation. For subjects over 7 years old, it is desirable that an informed assent is also obtained from the pediatric subject him/herself when possible.
  • Subjects aged ≥45 weeks CGA to <17 years old at time of consent. No restriction on sex of subject.
  • [Elective surgical cases] Subjects classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) (ASA physical status classification) Class I to III by preoperative diagnosis.
  • [Elective surgical cases] Subjects who require at least 6 hours of respiratory management with intubation under intensive care from immediately after surgery and are anticipated to require sedation.
  • [Medical ICU cases] Subjects who require at least 24 hours of respiratory management with intubation under intensive care and are anticipated to require sedation. For medical ICU cases, sedatives used prior to treatment with the investigational product should be discontinued before the start of treatment with the investigational product.
  • If a subject is a female of childbearing potential, she should not be pregnant or possibly pregnant, or lactating.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who are judged by investigator or sub-investigator to have a neurological disease that will make sedation assessment difficult, such as:
  • Subjects with brain damage which is expected to increase intracranial pressure due to trauma or central nervous system disease
  • Subjects with cerebral palsy, autism, severe mental retardation, etc.
  • Subjects with paralysis due to continuous administration of a muscle relaxant or due to a spinal injury of class T5 or higher.
  • Subjects with 2nd or 3rd degree heart block during the tests at the screening visit (excluding subjects using a pacemaker).
  • Subjects with any of the following low blood pressure levels during the tests at the screening visit:
Show all 19Show fewer
  • Age ≥ 45 weeks CGA to < 1 year old: Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) <70 mmHg
  • Age ≥ 1 year old to < 10 years old: SBP < 70 + (2 x age in years) mmHg
  • Age ≥ 10 years old to < 17 years old: SBP < 90 mmHg
  • Subject of bradycardia (≤10th centile of heart rate for healthy children) during the physical examination at screening period.
  • Subjects with ALT ≥100 U/L during the laboratory tests at the screening visit.
  • Subjects in whom dexmedetomidine or other alfa 2 receptor agonists, alfa 2 receptor antagonists and drug that may be used in this study are contraindicated.
  • Subjects who may need a sedative or analgesic (including narcotics) other than dexmedetomidine, midazolam or fentanyl during treatment with the investigational product.
  • Subjects who have acute febrile illness [with a temperature (core or tympanic) ≥ 38.0°Centigrade] at the screening visit.
  • Subjects who received other investigational product within 30 days before baseline or subjects who will participate in other study that uses an investigational product during the study period.
  • Subjects who received dexmedetomidine within 48 hours before baseline.
  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator or sub-investigator, may be at increased risk to the subject due to the conduct of the study or may have a disease or factor which will probably preclude the obtainment of sufficient study data.
  • Subjects for whom, in the opinion of the investigator or sub-investigator, risks involved with administration of dexmedetomidine outweigh its benefits (e.g., >2 doses of vasopressor due to cardiogenic shock).
  • Subjects who are investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or subjects who are Sponsor's employees directly involved in the conduct of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Did Not Require a Rescue Sedative Within 24 Hours of Dosing of Study Drug

    Percentage of participants who did not require rescue medication for Sedation (Midazolam) based on the data of investigator's judgement and State Behavioral Scale (SBS) (which was a sedation assessment instrument for intubated participants and its score ranges from 2 to -3, where 2= agitated, 1= restless and difficult to calm, 0= awake and able to calm, -1= responsive to gentle touch or voice, -2= responsive to noxious stimuli and -3= unresponsive.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride in people with ICU Sedation, run by Pfizer at 12 sites in Japan.

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 19 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 17 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Japan. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Who Did Not Require a Rescue Sedative Within 24 Hours of Dosing of Study Drug (time frame: From start of study drug administration on Day 1 up to 24 hours of study drug dosing or at the conclusion of mechanical ventilation or the end of study drug administration, whichever is earliest (up to maximum of 28 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02757625, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2018.
