Diprivan® 20 mg/mL (AstraZeneca)Active comparatorDosage form: lipid emulsion Dosage: Initial effect-site target concentration: 5 μg/mL, if necessary increased by 1 μg/mL every 60 seconds until LOER Frequency: continuously (will be adjusted to keep Bispectral Index (BIS) between 40 and 60, however maintenance target concentration can be increased if a patient needs a BIS <40 with regard to individual condition and the respective surgery) Duration: Until end of surgery
Receives: Drug: Diprivan

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Loss of Eyelash Reflex (LOER)

    The overall timeframe until LOER is observed depends on the patient and varies from only a few seconds up to 240 seconds in total.

    Measured: Every ten seconds from the initiation of TCI anesthesia device until LOER occurs up to 150 seconds. If LOER has not occurred within this timeframe, target propofol concentration to be increased by 1 μg/mL every 60 seconds until LOER is observed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Propofol and Diprivan in people with General Anesthesia and Elective Surgery, run by Fresenius Kabi 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 6 inclusion and 34 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 21 Feb 2014. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Time to Loss of Eyelash Reflex (LOER) (time frame: Every ten seconds from the initiation of TCI anesthesia device until LOER occurs up to 150 seconds. If LOER has not occurred within this timeframe, target propofol concentration to be increased by 1 μg/mL every 60 seconds until LOER is observed.). 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 21 Feb 2014.
