About this study

Official title: Randomised Cross-over Pilot Study to Determine the Effects of Isoflurane and Propofol on Pulmonary Vascular Resistance in Children With Pulmonary Hypertension.

The investigators hypothesize that there is no difference between the effects of isoflurane and propofol anaesthesia on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).

Being tested
propofol and isoflurane
Keywords
propofol, isoflurane, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • propofol and isofluraneDrug

    both drugs administered at age-related dose and titrated to effect. maximum dose of propofol 15 mg/kg/hr, maximum dose of isoflurane 1.5 MAC

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the percentage change in PVR under isoflurane anaesthesia compared with propofol anaesthesia.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary endpoints are the percentage change in mean pulomanry artery pressure (PAP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP).

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing propofol and isoflurane in people with Hypertension, Pulmonary, run by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 15 Dec 2011. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The primary endpoint is the percentage change in PVR under isoflurane anaesthesia compared with propofol anaesthesia. (time frame: 2 hours). 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 15 Dec 2011.
