| New Formulation | NCT02307721 ↗ | Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a New Formulation of Nasal Naloxone for Prehospital Use | Completed | St. Olavs Hospital | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 2014-12-01 | Overdose with potential deadly outcome is a serious problem among opioid abusers, not least in Norway. The annual death toll from overdose is about 250, higher than road traffic accidents. Those who inject heroin or other opioids are considered to have the highest risk for death from overdose. To save lives, immediate treatment with a μ-opioid antidote such as naloxone is required. Usually naloxone is injected into a muscle or a blood vessel. Administration of naloxone via the nose (intranasal) has been suggested as an alternative for use by emergency teams and possibly also bystanders. This is not only an easier way to give naloxone, but would also eliminate the risk for needle stick injuries and blood contamination. In a series of studies on intranasal naloxone at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, this study explores pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intranasal and intramuscular naloxone in healthy volunteers under the influence of remifentanil. |

| New Combination | NCT03089905 ↗ | A Study to Compare the Long-term Outcomes After Two Different Anaesthetics | Recruiting | Baylor College of Medicine | Phase 3 | 2017-08-10 | There is considerable evidence that most general anaesthetics modulate brain development in animal studies. The impact is greater with longer durations of exposure and in younger animals. There is great controversy over whether or not these animal data are relevant to human clinical scenarios. The changes seen in preclinical studies are greatest with GABA agonists and NMDA antagonists such as volatile anaesthetics (eg sevoflurane), propofol, midazolam, ketamine, and nitrous oxide. There is less evidence for an effect with opioid (such as remifentanil) or with alpha 2 agonists (such as dexmedetomidine). Some, but not all, human cohort studies show an association between exposure to anaesthesia in infancy or early childhood and later changes in cognitive tests, school performance or risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders. The evidence is weak due to possible confounding. A recent well designed cohort study (the PANDA study) comparing young children that had hernia repair to their siblings found no evidence for a difference in a range of detailed neuropsychological tests. In that study most children were exposed to up to two hours of anaesthesia. The only trial (the GAS trial) has compared children having hernia repair under regional or general anesthesia and has found no evidence for a difference in neurodevelopment when tested at two years of age. The GAS and PANDA studies confirm the animal data that short exposure is unlikely to cause any neurodevelopmental impact. The impact of longer exposures is still unknown. In humans the strongest evidence for an association between surgery and poor neurodevelopmental outcome is in infants having major surgery. However, this is also the group where confounding is most likely. The aim of our study is to see if a new combination of anaesthetic drugs results in a better long-term developmental outcome than the current standard of care for children having anaesthesia expected to last 2 hours or longer. Children will be randomised to receive either a low dose sevoflurane/remifentanil/dexmedetomidine or standard dose sevoflurane anaesthetic. They will receive a neurodevelopmental assessment at 3 years of age to assess global cognitive function. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00158873 ↗ | Pharmaco-Economic Study Of Ultiva In Intensive Care Unit(ICU)Subjects | Completed | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 4 | 2004-09-01 | 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. |
| NCT00162591 ↗ | Bispectral Index as an Analgesia Monitoring in Severely Ill Patient: Effect of Remifentanyl | Unknown status | Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris | N/A | 2004-10-01 | The aim of this protocol is to study the prophylactic effect of remifentanil on bispectral index variation during a nociceptive stimuli. |
| NCT00202722 ↗ | Remifentanil as Intravenous Patient-controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) During Labour | Completed | Sorlandet Hospital HF | Phase 4 | 2004-01-01 | Remifentanil is a ultra short-acting synthetic opioid. It is rapidly metabolized by non-specific blood and tissue esterases. We wanted to investigate the efficacy and safety of remifentanil used as analgesia during labour. Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (ivpca) were used to administer remifentanil. Doses used were 0,15-1,05 mikrogr/kg, with a lock-out time of 2 minutes. 41 women were included in the study. Blood-pressure, heartrate, SaO2, respiration rate and sedation were recorded every 15.minute. Fetal heart rate was recorded for the whole periode of treatment (CTG, STAN). Vaginal contraction pain were assessed by the parturients every 15.minute using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Midwives also recorded their impression of the parturients pain. The parturients level of sedation were recorded by anesthesiologist and midwife every 15.minute. Apgar scores were registered at 1, 5 and 10 min after delivery. Umbilical cord blood analysis regarding blood gases and concentration of remifentanil were performed. After delivery, both mother and midwife evaluated efficacy and safety; Global satisfaction score, if the remifentanil doses were sufficient, nausea, vomiting, level of sedation and dizziness. |
| NCT00209872 ↗ | Optimal Multimodal Analgesia in Abdominal Hysterectomy | Unknown status | Hvidovre University Hospital | Phase 4 | 2005-10-01 | The purpose of this study is to test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for abdominal hysterectomy with a group receiving SOC minus epidural analgesia plus additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pain and discharge time from the PACU (post-anaesthesia care unit). |
| NCT00209885 ↗ | Optimal Multimodal Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy | Unknown status | Hvidovre University Hospital | Phase 4 | 2005-10-01 | To test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a group receiving SOC + additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, PONV, pain and discharge time from the PACU |
| NCT00213239 ↗ | A Dose Finding Study of Remifentanil and Propofol for Lumbar Punctures in Children | Completed | The Hospital for Sick Children | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 2005-09-01 | This study will examine whether the combination of two anaesthetic medications, propofol and remifentanil, is suitable for short duration surgical procedures, providing a shorter recovery time and fewer side effects than either drug used alone. |
| NCT00241332 ↗ | Postoperative Pain After Orthopedic Surgery: Does it Help to Give Fentanyl Before Start of Remifentanil Based Anesthesia? | Completed | University of Oslo | Phase 3 | 2005-10-01 | The aim of this trial is to examine the possibility that fentanyl 1,5 µgr/kg given intravenously (i.v.) before the start of remifentanil infusion for anesthesia gives less development of tolerance/hyperalgesia postoperative than fentanyl given at the end of surgery (the traditional method). |
