Trial summary

Supraglottic airway equipment used during anaesthesia application can lead to airway reactivity or even larynx spasm in sensitive children. Montelukast Sodium, used in asthma treatment, is a cysteinyl leukotriene Type 1 antagonist which reduces leukotriene C4, leukotriene D4 and leukotriene E4 synthesis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects on Airway Reactivity of the Use of Preoperative Montelukast Sodium

Supraglottic airway equipment used during anaesthesia application can lead to airway reactivity or even larynx spasm in sensitive children.

Montelukast Sodium, used in asthma treatment, is a cysteinyl leukotriene Type 1 antagonist which reduces leukotriene C4, leukotriene D4 and leukotriene E4 synthesis. The use of Montelukast Sodium in airway reactivity is known to reduce the need for bronchodilator and corticosteroids.

Read the detailed description

The study will comprise 30 american society of anesthesiology (ASA) I-III patients, aged 4-8 years, undergoing inguinal hernia surgery. Patients will exclude if receiving asthma treatment, if they had upper respiratory tract infection in the last week and if the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) could not be placed at a single attempt.

Patients will be separated into 3 groups as Group E (n=10) with high immunoglobulin E (IgE), Group C (n=10) with normal IgE and Group M (n=10) who were administered with 4mg peroral Montelukast Sodium, 10 days before surgery because of high IgE.

With spontaneous breathing after anaesthesia induction, a classic LMA will be placed. Anaesthesia will be maintained with a mixture of 1.3 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) sevoflurane 500%2 - N2O. At 5-minute intervals, oxygen saturation (sPO2), End-Tidal carbon dioxide, Heart Rate, tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (f) and peak airway pressure (PAP) will be monitored and coughing, apnea, laryngospasm , bronchospasm, desaturation and need for steroids will be noted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with bronchospasm as a Measure of airway reactivity

    Measured: during the operation

  2. Number of Participants with laryngospasm as a Measure of airway reactivity

    Measured: during the operation

  3. Number of Participants with apnea

    Measured: during the operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. amount of applied steroids

    steroids can prevent airway reactivity symptoms

    Measured: during the operation

  2. peak airway pressures as a measurement of airway reactivity

    Measured: during the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing montelukast sodium in people with Airway Reactivity, run by Umraniye Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 10 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Number of Participants with bronchospasm as a Measure of airway reactivity (time frame: during the operation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02494466, 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 10 Jul 2015.
