About this study
Official title: Intranasal Ketamine for Procedural Sedation: a Feasibility Cohort Study
The trial (Intranasal ketamine for procedural sedation in children: a randomized controlled non-inferiority multicenter trial or INK; ReDA 5496; CTO 1545) is being scheduled for launch in Spring 2019. Due to the possibility of failure of the experimental intervention (intranasal ketamine 10 mg/kg), the data safety monitoring board (DSMB) and statistical methods team would like to explore the possibility of developing a stopping rule to prevent patients from being enrolled in a futile trial and conserve resources. In order to get accurate data to develop a statistically robust stopping rule, it is necessary to conduct a cohort study of patients that receive the INK trial's experimental intervention and according to it's protocol. This cohort study will help estimate the chance of adequate sedation and inform the final dosing protocol for the INK trial.
Read the detailed description
Between 20 and 40% of extremity fractures in children require a closed reduction, often necessitating procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) (3, 4). Intravenous (IV) ketamine is the most commonly used sedative agent used to perform a closed reduction (5). However, children rate IV insertion as the most painful hospital experience, second only to the injury itself (6). Intranasal (IN) ketamine may provide effective sedation for children undergoing a closed reduction without the distress and pain related to IV insertion. Although the proportion of children with adequate sedation using IN ketamine at doses of 9-10 mg/kg has been reported to be at least 75% (9-11), there is the possibility of inadequate sedation because IN ketamine 10 mg/kg has not been used for procedural sedation for fracture reduction. A multi-centre, two-arm, randomized, blinded, controlled, non-inferiority trial designed to test the hypothesis that intranasal (IN) ketamine is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) ketamine is being planned for launch in Spring 2019 and a stopping rule for futility will ensure that patients are not unduly enrolled and that resources are not wasted in a futile trial. Creating of a methodologically rigorous stopping rule depends on the results of a small cohort study to provide a more accurate and informed estimate of the probability of adequate sedation with IN ketamine 10 mg/kg.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intranasal ketamineDrug
10 mg/kg single dose in 0.5 mL sprays in each nare separated by 60 seconds
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intranasal ketamine | Experimental | Intranasal ketamine 10 mg/kg Receives: Drug: Intranasal ketamine |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adequacy of sedation
Dartmouth Operative Conditions Scale (DOCS) score between -2 and +2 for the duration of the closed reduction AND, (ii) No additional IV ketamine is given during closed reduction for the purpose of sedation, AND (iii) The patient did not actively resist, cry, or require physical restraint for completion of the closed reduction.
Measured: 1 hour
Secondary outcomes (4)
Length of stay
Defined as the time recorded in the medical record between triage and discharge in minutes
Measured: 1 hour
Onset of sedation
This will be defined as the time interval from administration of the first pair of IN sprays to the time when a first DOCS score of between -2 and +2 is achieved post-intervention (minutes)
Measured: 1 hour
Duration of sedation
This will be defined as the duration of time between the first DOCS score between -2 to +2 post-intervention to the last DOCS score between -2 and +2 post-closed reduction (minutes).
Measured: 1 hour
Adverse effects
Research nurses will be trained on the recognition and definition of expected and unexpected AEs. AEs will be determined from the medical record and recorded on REDCap. Expected AEs are based on the Quebec guidelines and other practice guidelines. Unpleasant recovery reactions will be recorded by the research nurse using REDCap.
Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Intranasal ketamine in people with Procedural Sedation, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's.
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 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2023. 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.
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?
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?
Adequacy of sedation (time frame: 1 hour). 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 24 Mar 2023.
