About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study in the Control of Emergence Blood Pressure During Craniotomy for Tumor Surgery Between Labetolol (Avexa) and Diltiazem

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the antihypertensive drugs in the control of emergence blood pressure after tumor resection craniotomy; compared between labetalol (Avexa) and diltiazem (Herbessor).

Also the investigators seek to determine the effective dose of the antihypertensive drugs and their side effects in Thai population.

What participants receive

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

  • DiltiazemDrug

    Also called Herbessor

    2.5 mg iv q 2-5 min for keeping SBP below 140 mmHg during the emergence

  • LabetalolDrug

    Also called Avexa

    2.5 mg iv q 2-5 min for keeping SBP below 140 mmHg during the emergence

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. mean doses of the study drugs

    Measured: 3hr

  2. the number of patients with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: 6 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Diltiazem and Labetalol in people with Hypertension and Craniotomy, run by Mahidol University.

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 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 1 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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 number of the patients who have systolic blood pressure below 140 mmHg (time frame: 3 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 1 Apr 2014.
