Trial summary

Dexmedetomidine, selective alfa2 receptors agonist produces sympatholysis. As a result heart rate decreases. With low doses blood pressure also decreases, with higher dosing - systematic vascular resistance increases. The indication for the drug is to produce sedation during surgical procedures and in ICU patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Haemodynamic Effect of Dexmedetomidine in Relation to Autonomic System Activity

Dexmedetomidine, selective alfa2 receptors agonist produces sympatholysis. As a result heart rate decreases. With low doses blood pressure also decreases, with higher dosing - systematic vascular resistance increases. The indication for the drug is to produce sedation during surgical procedures and in ICU patients.

The aim of a study is to verify, whether the haemodynamic effect (heart rate, blood pressure and heart rate variability during drug infusion) depend on pre-drug autonomic system activity. Autonomic system activity is assessed using heart rate variability (HRV)measurement before drug injection and during drug infusion. Heart rate and blood pressure measured before and during drug infusion will be analysed.

HRV measurement analysis will be based on continuous Holter ECG recording, taken before drug injection and during its infusion. 5 minutes intervals will be analysed , using Frequency Domain Measures of HRV. Surgical procedure will start after measurement have been taken.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Haemodynamic Effects of Dexmedetomidine, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

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 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 18 Oct 2021. 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 Poland. 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?

Changes of haemodynamics and heart rate variability parameters (time frame: up to 30 minutes). 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 18 Oct 2021.
