Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine is in Russian currently approved for sedation only in adults; paediatric experiences in the literature are in the form of small studies and case reports.

Dexmedetomidine may be useful in paediatric patients for sedation in a variety of clinical situations. Based on literature analysis, dexmedetomidine may be potentially used in the intensive care unit in pediatric patients who require sedation, either breath spontaneously or require mechanical ventilation.

Dexmedetomidine is a newer sedative with little safety data in paediatrics, particularly for therapy lasting longer than 48 h. Additional studies in paediatric patients are warranted to further evaluate its safety and efficacy in all age ranges.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with ICU Sedation, run by Orion Corporation, Orion Pharma at 1 site in Russia.

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 4 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 23 Jan 2019. 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 Russia. 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?

Evaluation of efficacy of Dexdor for prolonged sedation in pediatric patients (time frame: max 5 days). 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 23 Jan 2019.
