Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether postoperative delirium can be more properly prevented by the combination of determined preventive agents in past studies. Further on the investigators measure pre- and postoperative cortisol, neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S-100beta levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Baden PRIDe Trial - Baden Prevention and Reduction of Incidence of Postoperative Delirium Trial

The purpose of this study is to find out whether postoperative delirium can be more properly prevented by the combination of determined preventive agents in past studies. Further on the investigators measure pre- and postoperative cortisol, neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S-100beta levels.

Read the detailed description

The postoperative delirium remains a challenge for medical stuff concerning detection, therapy and avoidance of consequences. Over the years numerous risk factors were detected which emphasizes the importance of its prevention. Within these studies some possibilities, but no strictly defined rules of action for pharmacological or neuropsychological prevention are described. This is why in this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, the investigators want to compare two agents that were found to prevent postoperative delirium to a certain level, even in combination: the investigators arrange the patients within four study groups, one receiving Haloperidol, one Ketamine, one both and one placebo. The patients receive the study drug only once right before induction of anesthesia. After the day of recruitment there is the day of operation and a follow-up of three days (5 days of observation in total, where the investigators will test cognitive function with Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Delirium Observation Scale (DOS), Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) or Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Additionally the investigators will measure and compare pre- and postoperative Cortisol, NSE and S-100beta levels.

  • HaloperidolDrug

    Haloperidol 0.005mg/kg at induction of anesthesia

  • KetamineDrug

    Ketamine 1mg/kg at induction of anesthesia to test its power to prevent postoperative delirium

  • Haloperidol + KetamineDrug

    Haloperidol 0.005mg/kg + Ketamine 1mg/kg at induction of anesthesia to test their power to prevent postoperative delirium if given together

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences among study groups - Significant drop in MMSE of two points in one of the three postoperative follow-up days

    Significant drop in MMSE of two points in one of the three postoperative follow-up days (ICU patients excluded)

    Measured: 5 day follow-up (preoperative, day of surgery, postoperative days 1-3)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quantification of incidence of postoperative delirium based on cognitive testing and lab parameters

    Drop of one point in Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) compared pre- and postoperatively, comparison of levels of NSE, S-100beta and Cortisol (significantly elevated postoperatively?)

    Measured: 5 day follow-up (preoperative, day of surgery, postoperative days 1-3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Haloperidol, Ketamine and Haloperidol + Ketamine in people with Postoperative Delirium, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 inclusion and 14 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 23 Jan 2019. 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 Switzerland. 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 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?

Differences among study groups - Significant drop in MMSE of two points in one of the three postoperative follow-up days (time frame: 5 day follow-up (preoperative, day of surgery, postoperative days 1-3)). 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 NCT02433041, which also lists 2 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 23 Jan 2019.
