About this study

Official title: Phase IV Randomized Study of Hylenex or Standard IV Hydration in the Pediatric Population With Moderate Dehydration

The purpose of this study is to non-invasively study the reflective changes in cardiac output as response to fluid therapy in the pediatric moderate hypovolemia/dehydrated pediatric patients using sub-q rehydration using Hylenex augmented subcutaneous infusion of fluids and electrolytes compared to intravenous methods.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-labeled, single-center Phase IV clinical trial. The study will consist of patients with moderate hypovolemia/dehydration requiring parenteral rehydration. It is expected that this study will describe the onset or change in cardiac output using Hylenex augmented subcutaneous rehydration from ages 2 months up to 3 years and at a flow rate satisfying clinical needs, especially in reference to changes in cardiac output observed in standard intravenous rehydration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Output Trends

    Describe the cardiac output trends measured in liters per minute (onset and changes in slope over time) by noninvasively monitoring methods in pediatric patients being rehydrated by Hylenex augmented subcutaneous rehydration or routine IV rehydration

    Measured: Measurements and data are recorded only while patient is receiving care in the Emergency Department (ED). A f/u call is made on day 3 and/or day 7 post enrollment into the study.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Gorelick Assessment

    Gorelick assessment of hydration status at baseline, and at the end of sub-q or IV hydration treatment or at discharge from the emergency dept.

    • volume of fluid infuse over time
    • time to discharge from ED to home or transfer into the hospital
    • discharge diagnosis from ED
    • duration of any supplemental hospitalization for supplemental hydration
    • time to first urine output observed
    • requirement for rescue therapy and nature of the rescue therapy
    • incidence of readmission to hospital/ED
    • global assessment of overall satisfaction with rehydration therapy by parents and caregiver

    Measured: Measurements and data are recorded only while patient is receiving care in the ED. A f/u call is made on day 3 and/or day 7 post enrollment into the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hylenex in people with Dehydration and Cardiac Output, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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 1 Feb 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cardiac Output Trends (time frame: Measurements and data are recorded only while patient is receiving care in the Emergency Department (ED). A f/u call is made on day 3 and/or day 7 post enrollment into the study.). 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 1 Feb 2018.
