About this study

Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with an increased production of free radicals causing brain damage. First line treatment of these patients aims to maintain cerebral perfusion and includes deep anaesthesia. Propofol has recently shown anti oxidant properties that need to be confirmed when used in these patients. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of propofol compared to midazolam on intra cerebral oxidative stress following severe traumatic brain injury.

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called DIPRIVAN

    Propofol at a dose of 1 mg/kg/hour with a dose increase of 1 mg/kg until therapeutic effect (with a maximum dose of 5 mg/kg/hour)

  • MidazolamDrug

    Also called HYPNOVEL

    Midazolam at a dose of 0,03 mg/kg/hour with dose increasing of 0,02 mg/kg/hour until therapeutic effect.

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Glutamate, glucose and glycerol concentration measured in the brain by microdialysis during the first 72 h of treatment.

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Glasgow outcome scale and Mc Nair score at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Propofol and Midazolam in people with Traumatic Brain Injury, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2012. 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 France. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Lactate/pyruvate ratio concentration measured in the brain by microdialysis during the first 72 h of treatment (time frame: 72 hours). 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 2 Mar 2012.
