About this study

Official title: Metabolism of Isotonic Versus Hypotonic Maintenance Solutions in Fasting Healthy Adults, a Single-Blind Randomized Crossover Trial

The prescription of intravenous maintenance solutions - although widespread - lacks important data on the optimal sodium and potassium content, which has given rise to an important debate in the scientific literature. Our study compares two different infusion fluids in 12 healthy adult volunteers without renal failure in a single-blind randomized crossover design over two 48 hour periods during which subjects are not allowed to eat or drink. Fluid 1 is a premixed solution containing 54 mmol/L of sodium and 26 mmol/L of potassium; fluid 2 is sodium chloride 0.9% in glucose 5% with 40 mmol/L of potassium. Both solutions are administered at 25 mL/kg of ideal body weight, as recommended by current guidelines (NICE 174) and both solutions are widely used in daily clinical practice. The primary hypothesis is that isotonic maintenance solutions lead to more fluid retention than hypotonic fluids. Metabolism of both solutions is assessed by sequential analysis of urine and serum, clinical parameters and bioelectrical impedance analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Urine Output

    Urinary output over study period (as AUC).

    Measured: 48h

  2. Body weight

    Body weight over study period (as AUC), used as a back up parameter for urinary output.

    Measured: 48h

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Amount of sodium retention / excretion (excreted sodium / administered sodium)

    Sodium retention / excretion over study period (mean at 24 and 48h)

    Measured: 48h

  2. Number of episodes of hypokalemia (<3.5 mmol/L), hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L), hypernatremia (>145 mmol/L)

    Measured: 48h

  3. Change of sodium level from its baseline value.

    Area under the electrolyte concentration curve (baseline level is reference line)

    Measured: 48h

  4. Change of sodium and potassium level from its baseline value.

    Area under the electrolyte concentration curve (baseline level is reference line)

    Measured: 48h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing NaCl 0.9% in Glucose 5% with 40mEq Potassium and Glucion 5% in people with Healthy Adult Volunteers, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 1 site in Belgium.

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 9 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 9 Aug 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 Belgium. 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?

Urine Output (time frame: 48h). The study lists 2 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 NCT02822898, which also lists 3 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 9 Aug 2016.
