About this study

Official title: Examination of Volume Effect and Safety of 6 % Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 in Patients Undergoing Major Elective Surgery - an Uncontrolled, Open-labelled, Multi-centre Study

The study shall evaluate the volume effect and safety of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 for restoration and maintenance of hemodynamics during the investigational period in patients undergoing major elective surgery. Up to 50 mL 6% hydroxyethyl starch/kg body weight will be administered from start of surgery until two hours after end of surgery. The study hypothesis is that 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 will have a reliable volume effect and can be safely administered up to the dose limit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume Effect

    Volume effect will be assessed by evaluating the following parameter:

    1. Saved albumin: For adult patients: Amount of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES130) administered during surgery once 1000 mL of HES130 are exceeded. For pediatric patients: Amount of HES130 administered during surgery once 10 mL HES130/kg body weight are exceeded.
    2. Time course of hemodynamic stability

    Measured: Saved albumin: during surgery; Time course of hemodynamic stability: from end of surgery until 24 h after surgery

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Fluid Balance

    Fluid balance = fluid input vs. fluid output

    Measured: From one day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia until 48 hours after end of surgery

  2. Hemodynamics

    Measured: From one day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia until 48 hours after end of surgery

  3. CVP

    Central venous pressure (CVP); not mandatory for pediatric patients

    Measured: Immediately before or after induction of anesthesia (depending on routine procedures), every hour after skin incision, and 2 hours after surgery

  4. Hematology

    Measured: One day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, every hour after skin incision (adults), end of surgery (adults), 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery

  5. Clinical Chemistry

    Measured: One day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery (adults), 2 hours after end of surgery (pediatric patients), and 24 hours after end of surgery

  6. Hemostasis

    Measured: One day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery (adults), 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery

  7. Body Temperature

    Measured: One day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery, 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery

  8. ECG

    Not mandatory for pediatric patients

    Measured: Screening, 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery

  9. Urinalysis

    Not mandatory for pediatric patients

    Measured: Immediately before or after induction of anesthesia (depending on routine procedures) and 24 hours after surgery

  10. Local and Systemic Tolerance

    Measured: After each administration of study drug

  11. (Serious) Adverse Events

    Measured: From signing informed consent until 28 days follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 1: Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, 6 % in people with Plasma Volume Substitution (Hypovolemia) Including Massive Hemorrhage, run by Fresenius Kabi Japan at 4 sites in Japan.

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 5 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 26 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Japan. 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?

Volume Effect (time frame: Saved albumin: during surgery; Time course of hemodynamic stability: from end of surgery until 24 h after surgery). 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 26 Jun 2012.
