About this study

Official title: Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride in the Prevention of Organ Failure Following

Cytokines such as such as TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6 correlate with the severity of pancreatitis.Neuroendocrine pathways, such as the sympathetic nervous system or parasympathetic nervous system, in turn, have some impact on the immune systems, through a-2 adrenoreceptor stimulation or the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The investigators aim to use Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride to decrease the activity of sympathetic nervous system, thus relieve inflammation response.

Read the detailed description

Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are major complications of acute pancreatitis which determine disease severity and outcome.It is concluded that systemic inflammation in SAP characterized by the endocrine release of different cytokines, such as TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6 and many others. These cytokines correlate with the severity of pancreatitis.

Neuroendocrine pathways, such as the sympathetic nervous system or parasympathetic nervous system, in turn, have some impact on the immune systems, through a-2 adrenoreceptor stimulation or the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride is a high selected a-2 adrenoreceptor agonists.Some studies have shown that Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride could improve the outcome of sepsis patients and decrease the development of organ failure.

The investigators aim to use Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride to decrease the activity of sympathetic nervous system,thus relieve inflammation response.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Infusion in people with Pancreatitis, Acute Necrotizing, run by Nanjing University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2016. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Weiqin Li, M.D. (+8613182810702, liweiqindr@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence rate of Organ failure (time frame: 30 days after Incidence of the disease). 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 NCT02691598, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Feb 2016.
