Study summary

Rationale:Papaverine is effective on radial artery spasm during transradial cerebral angiography.

Purpose: This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, phase 2b trial aims to investigate the effect and safety of papaverine in treating radial artery spasm during transradial cerebral angiography.

Read the detailed description

Radial artery spasm (RAS) is a common complication during transradial cerebral angiography. RAS can lead to severe pain and remains the most frequent cause of transradial angiography failure. There is currently no consensus on the prevention strategy for RAS.

Papaverine has anti vasospasm, sedative and analgesic effects. However, there is no evidence for the efficacy of papaverine in preventing RAS.

This multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to investigate the effect and safety of papaverine in treating radial artery spasm during transradial cerebral angiography.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Papaverine

    Slowly inject 10ml of papaverine hydrochloride solution (30mg/10ml) through the successfully implanted radial artery sheath, and continuously drip papaverine hydrochloride solution (60mg/500ml, 4ml/min) through the artery sheath during the operation. The compatible solutions are normal saline(0.9%);

    Drug: Papaverine Hydrochloride

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    After inserting the radial artery sheath, slowly inject 10ml normal saline(0.9%) through the artery sheath, and continuously drip normal saline(0.9%, 500ml, 4ml/min) through the artery sheath during the operation.

    Drug: normal saline

Interventions

  • Slowly inject 10ml of papaverine hydrochloride solution (30mg/10ml) through the successfully implanted radial artery sheath, and continuously drip papaverine hydrochloride solution (60mg/500ml, 4ml/min) through the artery sheath during the operation. The compatible solutions are normal saline(0.9%);

  • Drugnormal saline

    After inserting the radial artery sheath, slowly inject 10ml normal saline(0.9%) through the artery sheath, then continuously drip normal saline(0.9%, 500ml, 4ml/min) through the artery sheath during the operation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The incidence of RAS

    The primary outcome of this trial is to evaluate the incidence of RAS during surgery. The operator assessed RAS on the basis of a questionnaire addressing the following five signs: persistent forearm pain, pain response on catheter manipulation, pain response to introducer withdrawal, difficult catheter manipulation after being "trapped" by the radial artery with considerable resistance on withdrawal of the introducer. RAS was considered to be indicated by the presence of at least 2 of these 5 signs or by the presence of just 1 when the operator considered it necessary to administer other spasmolytic agent.

    Time frame: Intraprocedural: From procedure start to application of radial band. Approximate time 30 to 90 minutes.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The pain intensity of the right forearm

    Evaluate the pain intensity of the right forearm during the surgery based on the Numerical Rate Scale(NRS), which evaluates the worst pain during the surgery from "0" indicating "No Pain" to "10" indicating "Pain as bad as you can imagine".

    Time frame: Intraprocedural: From procedure start to application of radial band. Approximate time 30 to 90 minutes.

  2. The incidence of transradial approach failure

    Transradial approach failure is defined as needing to change the route to complete the surgery.

    Time frame: Intraprocedural: From procedure start to application of radial band. Approximate time 30 to 90 minutes.

Other outcomes

  1. The risk of death, non fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke

    The incidence of death, non fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke

    Time frame: Within 1 week after surgery

  2. Severe systemic hypotension

    Systolic blood pressure decrease\>30 mmHg or need to use vasopressor medication

    Time frame: Within 24 hours after surgery or during surgery

  3. Complications at the puncture site

    The incidence of complications at the puncture site

    Time frame: Within 24 hours after surgery

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 Jun 12, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
