Pharmaco-Economic Study Of Ultiva In Intensive Care Unit(ICU)Subjects

Information source: GlaxoSmithKline
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Sedation

Intervention: midazolam (Drug); lorazepam (Drug); fentanyl (Drug); morphine (Drug); remifentanil (Drug); propofol (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
GSK Clinical Trials, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline

Summary

The study will evaluate the pharmaco-economic consequences of the use of a remifentanil based regimen compared with a conventional sedative based regimen in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in ICU, difference in extubation time and use of concomitant sedative agents.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Centre-Randomized, Open-Label, Cross-Over Study to Compare the Pharmaco-Economic Consequences of an Ultiva (Remifentanil Hydrochloride) Based Regimen With Conventional Sedative Based Regimens in ICU Subjects Requiring Short-Term Mechanical Ventilation With Analgesia and Sedation

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Crossover Assignment, Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Health Outcome: Duration of time on mechanical ventilation

Secondary outcome: Health Outcome: length of stay in ICU, in hospital, requirement of opioid and sedative agents, duration of extubation process. Safety: haemodynamics and adverse events. Efficacy: sedation and pain scores

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- ICU patients with an expected duration of mechanical ventilation for 2 to 3 days and

requiring analgesia and sedation.

Exclusion criteria:

- ICU patients resuscitated in the previous 24 hours, neurotrauma or expecting major

surgery, not likely to survive of with limit care status.
