New Dosage NCT00968799 ↗ Hyperthermic Intraoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy of Recurrent Ovarian Cancer - A Feasibility Study Terminated Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen N/A 2008-02-01 Most studies performing hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy dose the cytotoxic drugs according to the body surface (like 50 mg/m² cisplatin) in analogy to systemic, intravenous chemotherapy (usually using the same dose). Although there seems to be a correlation between body surface and blood volume, the pharmacodynamics of drugs dosed by the body surface is still highly variable and thus dosing on the body surface is increasingly considered controversial for systemic administration. For hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy dosing by the body surface makes even less sense, since the aim is the highest possible drug concentration in the peritoneum without undue local and systemic toxicity. Furthermore, most studies using intraoperative chemotherapy vary the volume of the perfusate according to the size of the patient. Since the amount of cytotoxic drug is already fixed by the dosing on the body surface (amount [mg] = dose [mg/m²] x body surface [m²]) the effective concentration (mg/l) in the perfusate can vary considerably between patients. On the other hand pharmacokinetic analyses have shown that reducing the concentration of the cytotoxic drug in the perfusate reduces the efficacy even if the amount of the drug remains the same. In this study the safety of a new dosing regime will be evaluated. The concentration of cisplatin in the perfusate will be held constant independent of body weight or size to achieve the highest effectiveness of the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is the safety of the treatment. All patients should be able to receive full dose systemic carboplatin chemotherapy after completion the trial treatment.

NCT00311519 ↗ A Phase IIIB Dose Comparison Study of Subcutaneous Hydration With and Without Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (HYLENEX) in Volunteer Subjects Completed Halozyme Therapeutics Phase 4 2005-11-01 The purpose of this research study to test the effectiveness of a study medication to increase how fast a solution called lactated Ringer's is absorbed when put under the skin subcutaneously. The medication to be studied is an enzyme called hyaluronidase, and is a human recombinant form of the enzyme. The drug company name for this medication is Hylenex. Hylenex was currently an investigational medication at the initiation of the study, but received FDA approval during the study. An investigational medication is a medication or formulation of a medication that is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in this country but may be used in studies such as this one.

Ringer's in Plastic Container: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Future Projections

Last updated: February 24, 2026

What is Ringer's in Plastic Container?

Ringer's solution in a plastic container is an isotonic intravenous fluid used for hydration, electrolyte replenishment, and medication delivery. It is primarily utilized in hospitals and emergency settings. The solution's composition mimics body fluids, containing sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and sometimes glucose.

What is the current status of clinical trials?

There are no ongoing or planned clinical trials specifically for Ringer's solution in plastic containers. Most data comes from existing formulations and their clinical applications rather than new product testing. Ringer's is a well-established medical product with decades of usage, thus recent clinical trials are generally not required unless reformulated or combined with other therapies.

What is the market landscape?
