Trial summary

Main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane on intra cranial pressure (ICP) after traumatic brain injury. Patients admitted for traumatic brain injury equipped with ICP measurement will be sedated with sevoflurane via the Anaconda device during 12 hours. Sedation will be controlled with BIS.

About this study

Official title: Effect on Sevoflurane Sedation on Intra Cranial Pressure in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

Main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane on intra cranial pressure (ICP) after traumatic brain injury. Patients admitted for traumatic brain injury equipped with ICP measurement will be sedated with sevoflurane via the Anaconda device during 12 hours. Sedation will be controlled with BIS.

Read the detailed description

Sedation is most of the time required for ICP management after traumatic brain injury. Sevoflurane, an inhaled anaesthetic drug is commonly used in operatory room. Thanks to a new device, the Anaconda, it now can be applied to intensive care patients. His advantages a rapid elimination after administration stops, which can allow an early neurologic evaluation, very important for traumatic brain injury patients.We will study the effect of sevoflurane administration on ICP of TBI patients. Patients admitted for severe TBI (Glasgow come scale < 8), equipped with ICP sensor, elder than 18 years old will be include. A sedation with sevoflurane will be administrated during 12 hours instead of classical intra venous sedation with midazolam, depending on BIS score. ICP evolution will be characterised in success if < 30 mmHg or failure if ≥ 30 mmHg.6 patients will be included for the first phase. The study will be stopped if the failures are ≥ 2. Otherwise, 27 patients will be included. Study will be stopped if failures number ≥ 5 before the end if the inclusion period.

What participants receive

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

  • 1: SevofluraneDrug

    Also called SEVORANE (Abbott), SEVOFLURANE (Baxter)

    Mean sevoflurane infusion rate will be around 6 ml/h or 72 ml for 12 hours. Maximal infusion rate will be around 12 ml/h, or 144 ml for 12 hours. Packaging: bottle containing 250 ml of liquid sevoflurane for evaporation. Administration mode: anaesthetic conserving device for volatile anaesthetics."

What is being measured

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

  1. ICP evolution

    patients where ICP increase more than 30 mmHg during more than 15 minutes will be characterized as "failure". Patients whose ICP do not increase during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane will be characterized as "success".

    Measured: ICP will be continuously recorded during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sedation level

    sedation level will be evaluated with the measure of the Bispectral Index and the SAS sedation score. Proportion of time with BIS of 45-65% and SAS <2, which are the objective of sedation level, will be recorded.

    Measured: during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane

  2. Haemodynamic tolerance

    invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP) will be continuously recorded. Hypotension is defined by a MAP less than 60 mmHg.

    Measured: during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane

  3. Malignant hyperthermia screening

    increase of eardrum temperature more than 39°C is considered as potential malignant hyperthermia

    Measured: during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 1: Sevoflurane in people with Brain Injury, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2015. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

ICP evolution (time frame: ICP will be continuously recorded during the 12 hours of sedation with sevoflurane). 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 27 Mar 2015.
