About this study

The principle objective of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of propofol after single iv bolus dose in 12 Indian children and to develop a simple pharmacokinetic model of propofol.

Read the detailed description

PROPOFOL is the most suitable agent currently available for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. So far, the pharmacokinetics of propofol has not been studied in Indian children. We believe that this pharmacokinetic characterization of propofol will help in better management of these patients undergoing surgery under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in our setup. 12 ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) grade I patients, 5 to 12 years old planned for elective surgery will be included. Premedication will be done with syrup midazolam 0.5mg/kg. After shifting the patient to the operation table, routine physiological monitoring will be commenced and two intravenous lines will be secured,one in the antecubital vein of one arm and the other vein on the dorsum of the contralateral hand. The antecubital venous access will be used for blood sampling. Anesthetic technique will consist of fentanyl bolus dose of 2ug/kg followed by propofol bolus dose of 2.5 mg/kg. No further propofol will be administered. After loss of consciousness , patients will be paralysed with atracurium (0.5mg/kg) and endotracheal intubation will be performed. Anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane, oxygen (50%) and nitrous oxide (50%), and intermittent dosages of atracurium. A total of twelve samples will be collected from each patient at 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, and 480 min after administration of bolus dose of propofol.The samples will be analyzed using a modified High Performance Liquid Chromatography method described by Pavan et al. The pharmacokinetic parameters will be evaluated using three compartment model to develop a pharmacokinetic model by using the software WINNONLIN (Windows Non Linear Regression Program).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol in people with Propofol Pharmacokinetics, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 1 site in India.

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 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 30 Jan 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 India. 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.

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?

Plasma Propofol concentration (time frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 480 minutes post loading dose of Propofol). 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 NCT02303223, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 30 Jan 2015.
