Trial summary

This is a prospective study of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, in which acetaminophen serum concentrations will be measured following a single intraoperative intravenous dose of acetaminophen. These levels will be used to develop a pharmacokinetic model. Read more about this study

About this study

This is a prospective study of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, in which acetaminophen serum concentrations will be measured following a single intraoperative intravenous dose of acetaminophen. These levels will be used to develop a pharmacokinetic model. Serum concentrations will be compared between two groups of patients: (1) cyanotic patients presenting for the Fontan completion operation and (2) patients with acyanotic congenital heart disease presenting for repair via median sternotomy.

Being tested
Acetaminophen
Medical subject headings
Heart Defects, Congenital

What is being measured

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

  1. Acetaminophen Serum Concentrations

    The amount of acetaminophen in the blood stream at each time point after receiving a standard dose.

    Measured: 15-20 minutes; 30-40 minutes; 50-70 minutes; 80-100 minutes; 2 Hours, 4 Hours; and 6-Hours Post-IV acetaminophen administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease, run by Peter Winch 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 29 Apr 2024. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Apr 2024). 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?

Acetaminophen Serum Concentrations (time frame: 15-20 minutes; 30-40 minutes; 50-70 minutes; 80-100 minutes; 2 Hours, 4 Hours; and 6-Hours Post-IV acetaminophen administration). 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 29 Apr 2024.
