Study summary

Ramosetron is commonly used to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the Eastern Asia. The prolongation of QTc interval is a main side effect. In this study, the pre-treatment time of ramosetron to decrease PONV, and QTc prolongation is compared.

Read the detailed description

This prospective study evaluate 42 female patients who underwent laparoscopic gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia. Group I (n=21) receive 0.6mg of ramosetron at anesthesia induction. Group R (n=21) received the same at the end of surgery. PONV is evaluated at arrival to post-anesthetic care unit (PACU), before induction, discharge from PACU, 24-, 48-, and 72- after discharge from PACU. The QTc interval is checked before anesthesia, at arrival to PACU, and 24-h after discharge from PACU.

Forty two subjects are needed with an α value of 0.05, a power of 0.8, and effect size difference of 0.9.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2017 to primary completion in Feb 2018, 7 months.

Of 67 non-industry phase 4 interventional studies under Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 23. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 67 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 23.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 9, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
