About this study

Official title: Determination of Serum Paracetamol Concentration With an Electrochemical Measurement Tool From Blood and Saliva Samples in Patients Using Also Other Medication.

Paracetamol intoxication is common, and concentration measurements are performed regularly. This research group is developing a fast bedside electrochemical analysis tool for paracetamol concentration measurement. This study will find out how this novel method performs in patients using other, confounding medication in detecting paracetamol concentration in capillary blood, venous plasma and saliva samples.

Read the detailed description

Paracetamol concentration analysis is performed in 20 patients who will come to hospital for elective surgery. Inclusion criteria is a regular medication that continues over perioperative period.

Patients will be given standard premedication of paracetamol 1g perorally before surgery: this study does not affect standard surgical treatment.

Paracetamol concentration will be measured in venous plasma-, capillary blood-, and saliva samples before drug delivery and in recovery room after surgery using the novel electrochemical analysis tool and high-performance mass spectrometry analysis as a reference. If needed, confounding medication is identified with large toxicologic mass spectrometry screen (UPLC-QTOF).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Drug concentration measurement in people with Pharmacokinetics, run by Johanna Kujala.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2024. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

No outcome for patients (time frame: 24 hours). 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 6 Mar 2024.
