About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Positive Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Propofol(Propofol®-Lipuro) in Total Intravenous Anaesthesia

The purpose of the study to compare Propofol-MCT/LCT with LCT in terms of their efficacy and safety during total intravenous anaesthesia

Read the detailed description

Propofol (chemical substance 2, 6-Diisopropylphenol) is a short-acting intravenous general anaesthetic which is used for induction and maintenance of a general anaesthesia, for long-term sedation of ventilated intensive care patients or for short-term sedation in diagnostic and surgical procedures. As an active substance propofol produces good and readily controlled anaesthesia with smooth and problem-free recovery both in adult patients and in children over 1 month of age. One potential advantage of this formulation is that the MCT/LCT-emulsion reduces pain on injection, a frequently reported adverse reaction with LCT-emulsions of propofol.

    Measured: during anaesthesia

  2. pre- and concomitant medication

    Measured: during anaesthesia

  3. anaesthesia relating data

    Measured: during anaesthesia

  4. recovery data

    Measured: during anaesthesia

  5. drug safety data (e.g. haemodynamics and clinical outcome)

    Measured: during anaesthesia

  6. adverse events

    Measured: during anaesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Propofol in people with General Anaesthesia and Induction of Anaesthesia, run by B. Braun Melsungen AG at 3 sites in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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 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?

time to loss of eyelash reflex (time frame: induction of anaesthesia). 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 25 Feb 2008.
