About this study

Official title: Study of the Efficacy and Safety of KALINOX® 170 Bar for the Performance of Care Procedures in Children With Burns

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and the safety of Kalinox® 170 bar, over a period of three consecutive care procedures in burned children. It's a international (Spain, France, Tunisia and Belgium) study with 8 investigator centers.

Read the detailed description

Pain due to burns is one of the most intense and persistent types of pain. This pain consists of a permanent background pain, overlaid by episodes of temporary exacerbations triggered by treatment procedures or burn-care procedures.

Care procedures, such as changing the dressings or cleaning the wounds, make it necessary to handle the painful areas, and this causes transient intense pain.

Analgesia with a 50/50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen is a simple and effective technique, which induces a state of light sedation during which verbal contact is not lost, which is rapidly reversible and is devoid of any major side effects. This gas is used in paediatrics for carrying out painful procedures of a short duration, such as lumbar puncture and minor surgery.

The nitrous oxide/oxygen mix has also been used to treat the pain induced by care procedures in children with burns for more than 30 years.

The objective of our study is to obtain qualitative and quantitative data about the efficacy of Kalinox® 170 bar in care procedures in children with burns.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 50% Oxygen/50% Nitrous oxide premix (KALINOX 170 bar) and 50%Oxygen/50% Nitrogen premix in people with Burns, run by Air Liquide Santé International.

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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The intensity of the pain was assessed using the "Faces Pain Scale Revised" (time frame: Faces Pain Scale Revised). 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 19 Jan 2012.
