About this study
Official title: Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial of Quetiapine as a Treatment for Delirium in Critically Ill Children
This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial to begin determining the efficacy of quetiapine as a treatment for pediatric delirium in patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)
Read the detailed description
Delirium is an acute syndrome with fluctuation in mental status with altered cognition and consciousness. It is a common occurrence (17% to 38%) in critically ill children with serious short-term consequences. Its pathophysiology is complex and incompletely understood. Dopaminergic, serotoninergic, glutaminergic, and cholinergic pathways in the cerebral cortex, striatum, substantia nigra, and thalamus have been implicated. Imbalance in the synthesis, release, and inactivation of neurotransmitters can result in altered cognitive function, behavior, and mood. The Society of Critical Care Medicine set the adult practice guidelines including widespread delirium screening as well as treatment to decrease duration of delirium and ameliorate its long-term effects (12). The cornerstone of pharmacologic therapy for delirium in adults is antipsychotics, both first and second-generation (13-20).
The current foundation of treatment for pediatric delirium is identifying and addressing the underlying etiology. Iatrogenic factors should be minimized, such as avoiding benzodiazepines and restraints, optimizing pain control, minimizing sedation, and treating withdrawal. The ICU environment should also be optimized to create a quiet, well-lit space with clustered care to allow for uninterrupted sleep. When non-pharmacologic treatment measures prove insufficient to manage the symptoms of delirium, we believe the second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) quetiapine may have a role in the treatment of delirium. However, there are currently no FDA-approved medications to treat delirium in this population.
The European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) has recently recommended that all children in the ICU be monitored for delirium but provided no guidance on recommended treatments (21), likely due to the lack of evidence of proven delirium treatment in children. An adult systematic review and meta-analysis by Kishi et al concluded that antipsychotics are superior to placebo in decreasing severity of delirium and time to response with there was no significant difference in the side effects between the two groups. Additionally, SGAs are associated with a shorter time to response and lower side effect profile than haloperidol (a first-generation antipsychotic).
A growing body of pediatric literature suggests that delirium is a serious and under recognized problem in critically ill children as well, however little research has been focused on treatment . A recent retrospective series looking at the use of quetiapine in suggested that quetiapine use for delirium treatment is a safe option in this population.
With proven efficacy in adults with delirium, an established track record in children for indications other than delirium, a favorable safety profile, and a wide therapeutic window, quetiapine is a logical choice for the next phase of research into pediatric delirium treatment. In this study are looking prospectively at the effectiveness of quetiapine as a treatment for pediatric delirium.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
QuetiapineDrug
Patients randomized to the study treatment group will received quetiapine at 0.5 mg/kg, three times a day for 10 days. Doses can be increased up to a maximum of 6 mg/kg/day, in increments of 0.5 mg/kg, based on the subject's clinical delirium symptoms. PRN doses of 0.5 mg/kg can be given up to three times a day based on the clinical judgement of the subject's ICU care team.
PlaceboOther
Patients randomized to the placebo group will be given an equivalent volume of sterile liquid or sugar pill, based on the individual subjects dosing preference or ability. Dosing will be done on the same schedule as the quetiapine group
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Quetiapine (0.5 mg/kg TID x 10 days) | Experimental | This study group will receive treatment with quetiapine after diagnosis of pediatric delirium. Group assignment will be blinded. Receives: Drug: Quetiapine |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | This study group will receive a placebo treatment after diagnosis of pediatric delirium. Group assignment will be blinded. Receives: Other: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to resolution of delirium
Delirium symptoms will be monitored using CAPD (Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium) score, collected twice a day. Time to resolution of delirium will be measured from the time of randomization to the time scores are within normal range (0-8). Number of days with abnormal CAPD scores will be compared between study groups
Measured: Screening through Study Day 14/Hospital Discharge

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Quetiapine in people with Delirium, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 1 site 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 5 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 8 Apr 2020. 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Time to resolution of delirium (time frame: Screening through Study Day 14/Hospital Discharge). 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 NCT03572257, which also lists 23 linked publications.
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 8 Apr 2020.
