About this study

Official title: The Addition of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Sleep for Middle-aged and Elderly Patients With Gastric Cancer: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of Dexmedetomidine for treatment of sleep deprivation, pain relief and postoperative recovery on middle-aged and elderly Patients with Gastric Cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomized to receive sufentanil 0.05ug/kh/h + dexmedetomidine 0.1ug/kg/h (DEX group) or sufentanil 0.05ug/kg/h + saline (control group) for 48h. The primary outcome was the total sleep time during the first three days after surgery. The secondary outcomes included pain score, daily sufentanil consumption, time to functional recovery, length of hospital stay and side effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dexmedetomidine in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Nanjing PLA General Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 17 Apr 2017. 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?

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?

sleep time (time frame: during the first three days after surgery). 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 17 Apr 2017.
