Clinical Trials

An Open-label Study of Hydromorphone Oral Solution in Subjects Aged 28 Days to 16 Years for Postoperative Pain Not Recruiting
More
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydromorphone oral solution in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to 16 years inclusive. The secondary objectives are to characterize the safety and efficacy of hydromorphone oral solution in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to 16 years inclusive.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact Greg Hammer, 6507237835.

Aminophylline to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury in Children After Cardiac Surgery Not Recruiting
More
Children with congenital heart defects often need cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (the "heart-lung machine"). Approximately 35 to 50% of these children will have "acute kidney injury," or damage to the kidneys, after the procedure. We currently have few medications to prevent this kidney injury. The hypothesis of this study is that giving aminophylline after heart surgery can decrease the acute kidney injury.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact David M Axelrod, MD, .

Heparin and the Reduction of Thrombosis (HART) Trial Not Recruiting
More
Heparin is frequently used in central venous catheters (CVCs) in post-operative cardiac patients. It remains unclear if a heparin infusion, compared to a normal saline infusion, prevents thrombosis of CVCs after surgery. This study will answer the question: does a low-dose heparin infusion (10 units/kg/h) prevent thrombosis, compared to a normal saline infusion, in patients less than one year of age after cardiac surgery?

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact David Axelrod, 4156072463.
