About this study

Official title: Preemptive Gabapentin Administration and Perioperative Plasma Concentrations With Cardiac Bypass

This open label investigation is to determine whether cardiopulmonary bypass affects plasma gabapentin concentration after preoperative administration in the setting of cardiac bypass surgery. Following signed informed consent, 16 patients scheduled for cardiac bypass surgery will be given gabapentin (600mg, oral) 1 hour prior to surgery, 1 hour following extubation and then every 8 hours for a total of 4 doses. Plasma gabapentin levels will be measured prior to induction, prior to bypass, 10 min into the bypass procedure, 10 minutes before separation from bypass, 30 minutes following bypass and then before and 2 hours following each of the next 3 doses of gabapentin. Pain scores, sedation scores, side effects and morphine equivalents will be documented for one day following surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • GabapentinDrug

    Also called neurontin

    Subjects will be administered gabapentin (600 mg, orally) 1 hour prior to cardiac bypass surgery, 1 hour following extubation, then every 8 hours for a total of 4 doses.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
gabapentinExperimentalpatients scheduled for cardiac bypass surgery will be administered gabapentin (600mg, orally). Blood will be drawn and plasma gabapentin levels determined 1 hour before surgery, 10 minutes into surgery, 10 minutes before separation from bypass, 30 minutes following bypass, and then before and 2 hours after each dose of gabapentin.
Receives: Drug: Gabapentin

What is being measured

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

  1. plasma concentrations of gabapentin

    Measured: 1 hour before surgery, 10 min following initiation of bypass, 10 min before separation from bypass, 30 min following bypass, and then before and 2 hours following each of the next 3 doses of gabapentin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Gabapentin in people with Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Queen's University at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 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 8 Dec 2009. 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 Canada. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

plasma concentrations of gabapentin (time frame: 1 hour before surgery, 10 min following initiation of bypass, 10 min before separation from bypass, 30 min following bypass, and then before and 2 hours following each of the next 3 doses of gabapentin). 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 NCT01022736, 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 8 Dec 2009.
