About this study

Official title: Acetaminophen Pharmacokinetics in Bariatric Patients

The current study is designed to measure and evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiling of acetaminophen in the young obese patient population.

Read the detailed description

This will be a descriptive study carried out by study staff from the anesthesiology department. The patient population will include obese patients scheduled for robot-assisted or laparoscopic bariatric surgery. There will be no change in our usual anesthetic care for these patients. Volume of distribution and elimination half-life of acetaminophen in serum samples are the primary measurements of the study. If detected, a significant reduction in opioid requirements may lead to improved patient satisfaction and decreased opiate side effects.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: 15-20 minutes; 30-40 minutes; 50-70 minutes; 80-100 minutes; 2 Hours, 4 Hours; 8 Hours; and 12-Hours Post-IV acetaminophen administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 19 Jun 2019. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jun 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Intra- and Post-operative Serum Concentrations (time frame: 15-20 minutes; 30-40 minutes; 50-70 minutes; 80-100 minutes; 2 Hours, 4 Hours; 8 Hours; and 12-Hours Post-IV acetaminophen administration). 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 NCT02982928, which also lists 5 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 19 Jun 2019.
