About this study

Official title: Propofol Effect-Site Target Controlled Infusion in the Obese: Characterization of the Time Profile of Bispectral Index Response.

The aim of this study is to characterize the Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic relationship of a single bolus dose of propofol in obese patients and to extract a time to peak effect (t-peak) from the estimated model parameters.

Read the detailed description

Target controlled infusion (TCI) is a technique to administer intravenous drugs that allows rapid achievement and maintenance of predetermined drug concentrations, either in plasma (Cp) or at the site of effect (Ce).

To characterize the time profile of propofol effect an additional parameter, the equilibration half time between plasma and effect site (T1/2keo) needs to be incorporated in the pharmacokinetic (PK) model.

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    Propofol was administered by plasma TCI and a bolus dose was given by setting the initial plasma target between 12-16 μg/ml according to the anesthesiologist criteria. The protocol target range was selected based on previous experience using this model in the obese. After the patients reached this target, propofol infusion was stopped until the patients woke up (BIS>75). No other drugs were given during this period. Facemask ventilation was assisted only if necessary to maintain SpO2 > 90%. BIS data and propofol infusion data were automatically recorded every five seconds using the AnestFusor© program. Arterial blood samples of 4 ml for propofol assays were collected at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes after the initial bolus dose or until BIS > 75. After the patient woke up the study was considered finished and propofol infusion was restarted according to the anesthesiologist plan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Profile of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic of an induction bolus dose of propofol in obese patients.

    Pharmacokinetic parameters (V1, V2, V3, CL, Q)

    Pharmacodynamic parameters (E0, Emax, C50, Gamma, t1/2Ke0, T peak )

    Measured: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes after the initial bolus dose or until BIS > 75

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol in people with Obesity, run by Universidad del Desarrollo at 1 site in Chile.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2012. 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 Chile. 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?

Profile of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic of an induction bolus dose of propofol in obese patients. (time frame: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes after the initial bolus dose or until BIS > 75). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01665079, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2012.
