Trial summary

Introduction: Although inflating tracheal cuff using lidocaine is effective for cough suppression, it may pressure tracheal cuff too much. Intravenous continuous infusion of lidocaine has emerged recently for most general anesthesia in the context of opioid-sparing anesthesia for cancer, but the 95% effective dose… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intravenous Lidocaine Continuous-infusion to Supress of Cough Reflex During Anesthesia Emergence: Dose-finding Adaptive Trial

Introduction: Although inflating tracheal cuff using lidocaine is effective for cough suppression, it may pressure tracheal cuff too much. Intravenous continuous infusion of lidocaine has emerged recently for most general anesthesia in the context of opioid-sparing anesthesia for cancer, but the 95% effective dose (ED95) for cough suppression during anesthesia emergence is not determined yet. Objective: the objectives of this study are to determine the ED95 of continuous infusion lidocaine for suppressing cough reflex during extubation by sex and age group.

Read the detailed description

Ideal patient weight in kg will be considered.

Initial dose will be 0.5mg/kg.h and dose-change steps of 0.5mg/kg.h will occur depending on the incidence of emergence cough in the previous patient of the same group:

  • It will increase if coughed in a probability of 95%
  • It will decrease if not coughed in a probability of 5%.
  • It will remain the same otherwise. Maximum dose will be 3mg/kg.h. All patients will receive remifentanil 0.025mcg/kg.min continuous infusion until extubation.

Patients groups will be determined by sex and age group (18-60 or >60 years old), therefore, four independent groups will be studied:

  • Female 18 to 60 years old
  • Male 18 to 60 years old
  • Female > 60 years old
  • Male > 60 years old

What is being measured

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

  1. Cough during anesthesia emergence

    Dichotomic variable, true if any cough is detected from anesthesia weaning to extubation.

    Measured: Anytime during anesthesia emergence, before extubation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lidocaine in people with Cough, run by Brasilia University 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 6 inclusion and 1 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 15 Jan 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 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 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 Gabriel MN Guimaraes, MSc (+55 61 996455997, gabrielmng@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cough during anesthesia emergence (time frame: Anytime during anesthesia emergence, before extubation.). 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 15 Jan 2019.
