About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Magnesium Sulfate in the Treatment of Bronchiolitis.

In this study, investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Magnesium sulfate in decreasing bronchiolitis clinical severity score and the duration of hospitalization in admitted patients, as compared to placebo.

Read the detailed description
  • On arrival to Pediatric Emergency Center, patients will be attended by a pediatric specialist on call who will take history and perform full physical examination. Patients will be assessed for eligibility to the study based on the inclusion criteria.
  • Guardians of eligible patients will be approached with the study design, objectives and risks; Patients will be included after obtaining a verbal and assigned written consent.
  • A chest radiograph and Magnesium level in serum will be requested for all study patients upon recruitment.
  • The observation physician will complete the data collection sheet that will include the patient's demographics, physical examination, bronchiolitis clinical severity score,oxygen saturation, chest radiograph findings and Magnesium level.
  • Treatment will be delivered to enrolled patients as currently practice in PEC(Nebulized epinephrine 1:1000 1ml in 5 ml of 5% hypertonic saline, every 4 hours until discharge, for all patients and if there is history of Bronchial Asthma in mother, father or full sibling. And/or history of Eczema in the Child ,patients will start on dexamethasone 1mg/kg orally stat.(max-10 mg/dose). Then 0,6 mg/kg orally once daily starting from second day of admission for 4 days).
  • All patients will be randomized to receive either Magnesium sulfate intravenous single dose over 1 hour or placebo. And it will be given in the same time with currently practice treatment
  • Epinephrine nebulization can be given on PRN basis up to a maximum of every one hour, at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (min 2.5mg/dose and max 5 mg/dose) mixed in 5 ml of 5% hypertonic saline.•
  • Bronchiolitis severity score (BSS) will be recorded at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16,20,24,36,48,60,72 hours, and on discharge.
  • Vital signs will be recorded at 0, 2, 4 hours and then every 4 hours from the administration of study medication.
  • All patients will be followed up for two weeks post discharge by a phone call asking about the general condition, relapse of symptoms, or need for readmission.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement Percentage of Discharge After a Dose of IV Magnesium sulfate

    Measured: Time to medical readiness for discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improvement of bronchiolitis clinical severity score

    1. Need for admission to ICU during the initial visit
    2. Within 2 weeks after discharge:
    3. Need for clinical revisit
    4. Need for infirmary/observation unit admission
    5. Need for ICU admission

    Measured: 2 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Magnesium Sulfate in people with Bronchiolitis and Magnesium, Abnormal Blood Level, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 1 site in Qatar.

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 13 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 16 Aug 2016. 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 Qatar. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Improvement Percentage of Discharge After a Dose of IV Magnesium sulfate (time frame: Time to medical readiness for discharge). 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 NCT02145520, 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 16 Aug 2016.
