Trial summary

Treatment personalization could ensure better outcome than standard procedures. It is particularly important in intensive care units where patients received many drugs and procedures. Their health status can change very fast. The oncologic patients treated in intensive care units are a special group of patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pharmacotherapy Personalization of Cancer Patients Based on Modern Analytical and Computational Techniques

Treatment personalization could ensure better outcome than standard procedures. It is particularly important in intensive care units where patients received many drugs and procedures. Their health status can change very fast. The oncologic patients treated in intensive care units are a special group of patients. Factors related to cancer influence extra their health status. The aim of this study is population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis drugs that are routinely used during an analgosedation in ICU oncologic patients. Analgosedation is monitored by drugs plasma concentration, the depth of sedation (bispectral index) and vital parameters like: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate. Moreover, the TNM Staging System, biochemical parameters, The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification will be checked like potential factors influencing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics drugs used in the study.

Read the detailed description

The oncologic patients are qualified to head and neck tumor resection in general anesthesia. The anesthesia introduction is performed with single dose of midazolam, fentanyl, rocuronium and propofol/etomidate. Sevoflurane is used in anesthesia maintenance. Patients are transported to ICU after operation. Then they are kept for several hours in analgosedation. All used drugs are given by intravenous continuous infusion. Oxycodone is an analgesic component of analgosedation. Midazolam, dexmedetomidine and/or propofol are used as sedatives (2-3 drugs in every patient). Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) are collected during the study to measure drugs concentrations - 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation. Vital parameters and bispectral index are monitored during analgosedation and 6 hours after the infusion cessation and noted every 15-60 minutes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Analgosedation in ICU patients after head and neck tumor resection in general anesthesiaHead and neck tumor resections were performed in general anesthesia. Midazolam and etomidate or propofol were used in introduction and then anesthesia was maintenance with sevoflurane. Patients received intravenous continuous infusion of oxycodone as an analgesic component and sedatives (propofol/dexmedetomidine/midazolam) during analgosedation in ICU.

  1. Measurement of the depth of sedation using bispectral index

    Continuous measurement of the depth of sedation using bispectral index during analgosedation in intensive care unit.

    Measured: from the beginning of analgosedation to 6 hours after analgosedation

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Oxycodone plasma concentrations [ng/ml]

    Measurements of oxycodone and noroxycodone plasma concentrations [ng/ml] during and after analgosedation. Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) were collected according to the study protocol.

    Measured: 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation

  2. Dexmedetomidine plasma concentrations [ng/ml]

    Measurements of dexmedetomidine plasma concentrations [ng/ml] during and after analgosedation. Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) were collected according to the study protocol.

    Measured: 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation

  3. Midazolam plasma concentrations [ng/ml]

    Measurements of midazolam and alfa-hydroxymidazolam plasma concentrations [ng/ml] during and after analgosedation. Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) were collected according to the study protocol.

    Measured: 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation

  4. Propofol plasma concentrations [ng/ml]

    Measurements of propofol plasma concentrations [ng/ml] during and after analgosedation. Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) were collected according to the study protocol.

    Measured: 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation

  5. Systolic blood pressure

    Measurements of systolic blood pressure during analgosedation in intensive care unit.

    Measured: before the beginning of analgosedation, during analgosedation, up to 6 hours after analgosedation

  6. Diastolic blood pressure

    Measurements of diastolic blood pressure during analgosedation in intensive care unit.

    Measured: before the beginning of analgosedation, during analgosedation, up to 6 hours after analgosedation

  7. Heart rate

    Measurements of heart rate during analgosedation in intensive care unit.

    Measured: before the beginning of analgosedation, during analgosedation, up to 6 hours after analgosedation

  8. Mean arterial pressure

    Measurements of mean arterial pressure during analgosedation in intensive care unit.

    Measured: before the beginning of analgosedation, during analgosedation, up to 6 hours after analgosedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Neoplasms and Oncologic Patients, run by Poznan University of Medical Sciences at 2 sites in Poland.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Measurement of the depth of sedation using bispectral index (time frame: from the beginning of analgosedation to 6 hours after analgosedation). 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 29 Apr 2021.
