About this study

Official title: The Effect of Preoperative Aminophylline on the Recovery Profile After Major Pelvi-abdominal Surgeries: Randomized Controlled Double Blinded Study

Several clinical studies and case reports suggested that aminophylline antagonizes the effects of diazepam , barbiturates , sevoflurane ,morphineand propofol.However, the available results from uncontrolled clinical settings make it difficult to quantify the specific effects of aminophylline on hypnotics and anesthetics

Read the detailed description

Aminophylline, a theophylline derivative, exerts multiple pharmacological effects, either through phosphodiesterase inhibition (i.e., a potent bronchodilating action, which is often used for the treatment of bronchial asthma) or via adenosine receptor blockade .It is generally considered that the majority of actions ascribed to therapeutic doses of xanthines (caffeine and theophylline) are due to their action as adenosine receptor antagonists.

To the best of the investigator's knowledge this hypothesis was not reported in patients scheduled for major pelvi-abdominal surgeries under general anesthesia , and aminophylline was not given as premedication to test this hypothesis as it was previously administrated after the end of surgery ,also it was recommended by previous clinical studies to evaluate the effective dose of aminophylline that affect the extubation and recovery time.

Being tested
Aminophylline

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AminophyllineDrug

    the control group (n =15 ) the patients will receive 20 ml of normal saline IV ,20 minutes before induction of general anesthesia .

    Amiopphylline 2mg:(n = 15) the patients will receive 2 mg/kg intravenous (IV) aminophylline diluted in 20 ml normal saline 20 minutes before induction of general anesthesia .

    Aminophylline 4mg: (n = 15) the patients will receive 4 mg/kg intravenous (IV) aminophylline diluted in 20 ml normal saline 20 minutes before induction of general anesthesia .The study drugs will be given by an anesthetist unaware of the study protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. times to lose consciousness( LOC)

    Times to lose of consciousness( LOC) which is defined as an OAA/S score 2 (loss of responsiveness to light tapping on shoulderor mild shaking with voice command to open eyes)

    Measured: from the first second after administration of the anesthetic drugs and for 1-5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aminophylline in people with Recovery From Anesthesia, run by Beni-Suef University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 9 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 5 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Samaa ak Rashwan, MD (020120159125, samakassemrashwan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

times to lose consciousness( LOC) (time frame: from the first second after administration of the anesthetic drugs and for 1-5 minutes). 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 NCT04151381, 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 5 Nov 2019.
