Trial summary

It is hypothesized that propofol, when used in general anesthesia (GA) influence patient's stress status and consequently affect stress response parameters. Hence, the objective of the presented research is to assess whether the propofol has anti-stress effect or not in patients undergoing surgeries that require GA… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between IV Propofol and Propofol/ Fentanyl Anesthesia on Patients Surgical Stress Response Using BIS

It is hypothesized that propofol, when used in general anesthesia (GA) influence patient's stress status and consequently affect stress response parameters. Hence, the objective of the presented research is to assess whether the propofol has anti-stress effect or not in patients undergoing surgeries that require GA and classified as The American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 (ASA PS1)

Read the detailed description
  • Forty patients will be divided into two groups of patients (n=20 each), where in the first group anesthesia induction will be with propofol as a single agent, while patients in the second group will be anesthetized by propofol/fentanyl and the depth of anesthesia will be determined by BIS score and will be kept at 40-60.
  • In both groups, blood will be withdrawn to assess the possible effect of these medications on stress by measuring the following parameters:

I- Hemodynamic indicators II- Catecholamines . III- Fasting blood glucose IV- Insulin level V- Cortisol VI- Vasopressin

VII- Cytokines:

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
propofolActive comparatorthis arm will receive propofol in induction of anesthesia and blood sample will be withdrawn before induction and another sample will be withdrawn after induction with 3 mins
Receives: Drug: Propofol

Receives: Drug: Propofol; Drug: Fentanyl

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary end point; assessment of change in blood biochemical indicators of surgical stress

    blood testing includes: Catecholamines 1. Epinephrine 2. Nor epinephrine

    , Fasting blood glucose, Insulin level, Cortisol, Vasopressin, and Cytokines

    Measured: blood sample will withdrawn before induction of anesthesia with 10 mins and after induction of anesthesia with 3 mins

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary end point; assessment of change in BIS number

    Measured: BIS readings will be recorded before induction of anesthesia with 10 mins and after induction of anesthesia with 3 mins

  2. Tertiary end point; assessment of change in blood pressure

    Measured: blood pressure readings will be recorded before induction of anesthesia with 10 mins and after induction of anesthesia with 3 mins

  3. Quaternary end point; assessment of change in heart rate

    Measured: heart rate readings will be recorded before induction of anesthesia with 10 mins and after induction of anesthesia with 3 mins

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Propofol and Fentanyl in people with Stress, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 8 May 2017. 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 May M Abdalla ((002) 01002662985, mayezzeldin@miuegypt.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary end point; assessment of change in blood biochemical indicators of surgical stress (time frame: blood sample will withdrawn before induction of anesthesia with 10 mins and after induction of anesthesia with 3 mins). 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 8 May 2017.
