About this study

Official title: PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN AMIODARONE Versus LIDOCAINE IN PATIENTS WITH STABLE VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM

Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that other medications may be superior to amiodarone in controlling ventricular arrhythmias. However, a prospective and randomized comparison with lidocaine has not yet been described.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of amiodarone versus lidocaine in patients with stable ventricular tachycardias.

Read more

Methodology: For this, a unicentric, randomized and prospective study will be carried out, in which the two drugs will be administered in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, arrhythmia reversal, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness.

Expected results: The use of lidocaine is not inferior to amiodarone in the tolerability and reversion of stable ventricular tachycardias.

Being tested
Antiarrythmic Drugs, Antiarrhythmic drugs

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Antiarrythmic DrugsDrug

    Also called lidocaine

    Patient will be randomly randomized 1: 1 for the antiarrythmic drugs. If there is no reversal and there is no adverse event, a further dose of the same pre-administered medicinal product will be performed in another 30 minutes.

  • Antiarrhythmic drugsDrug

    Also called amiodarone

    Patient will be randomly randomized 1: 1 for the the antiarrythmic drugs. If there is no reversal and there is no adverse event, a further dose of the same pre-administered medicinal product will be performed in another 30 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Antiarrythmic Drugs and Antiarrhythmic drugs in people with Arrhythmias Ventricular, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 24 Oct 2018. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Alexandre Soeiro, MD (1126615299, alexandre.soeiro@bol.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Signs of peripheral hypoperfusion and shock (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 6 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 NCT03299517, which also lists 2 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 24 Oct 2018.
