About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy of Ondansetron Versus Metoclopramide for Vomiting in Children With Acute Gastroenteritis: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Acute gastroenteritis (GEA) is a public health problem at present, the main cause of vomiting and consultation in emergencies in children under 5 years. Worldwide, there are about 2 million deaths per year due to gastroenteritis in children under 5 years.

In Mexico, the mortality rate by age in 2013, recorded 28 deaths per 100,000 boys and girls, in 2013 in our country 2.5 million children between 5 and 17 years engaged in an economic activity. The occupancy rate for the child population was 8.6: 11.4 for boys and 5.8 for girls.

NICE guidance gastroenteritis defined as a transient disorder caused by an enteric infection and characterized by a sudden onset of diarrhea with or without vomiting

Read the detailed description

It will be conducted a randomized controlled double-blinded study in the Emergency service of the Naval General Hospital of High Specialty in the Mexico City. The period of patient inclusion in the study is November 2015 to November 2016.

The selections of the patients are children between 1 and 5 years who come to the emergency room with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis with vomiting and intolerance of oral route.

Treatments were randomly assigned eligible patients on admission in the emergency department

The primary endpoint was evaluated at 15 minutes after treatment application:

  • Treatment 1: Ondansetron was administered intravenous dose (0.15mg/kg/doses) Diluted in 20 ml saline and administered intravenously 5 minutes
  • Treatment 2: Metoclopramide was administered intravenous dose (0.15mg/kg/doses) Diluted in 20 ml saline and administered intravenously 5 minutes

The administration of intravenous medications, will be held in the observation area of the emergency department of pediatrics under monitoring continuo vital signs during application and 15 minutes after treatment.

At 15 minutes after administration, the mouth with oral electrolyte begins by assessing your tolerance, 30 minutes to progress to the astringent diet.

It will follow up with patient assessment in the emergency department of pediatrics, 3 hours after having established the treatment, in order to corroborate the remission of vomiting, it is graduation of home otherwise he will enter hospital.

Primary objective Cumulative rate of cessation of vomiting

secondary objectives

  • Compare the number of vomiting episodes with the administration of ondansetron vs metoclopramide
  • Compare time duration in which the oral route is restarted.
  • Compare hospital admission rate
  • Describe adverse effects in both groups

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Orally intolerance
  • More than 2 vomiting in the last 24 hours
  • Without antiemetic therapy within 24 hours of the clinical picture
  • Patients with or without diarrhea

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous abdominal surgery
  • Suspected surgical abdominal
  • vomiting bile
  • Hypersensitivity to Ondansetron and Metoclopramide

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yaneth Miranda Tecuautzin, medicine (66 91 60 07 39, missin1821@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cumulative rate of vomiting after cessation of drug administration (time frame: 4 hours). 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 NCT02619201, which also lists 10 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.
