Fat emulsion could be new weapon against pesticide poisoning
NCT ID NCT04393103
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial aimed to see if adding intralipid (a fat emulsion given through a vein) to standard care could help people poisoned by organophosphorus compounds, which are found in some pesticides. The plan was to compare hospital stay length and death rates between 30 patients getting intralipid plus standard treatment and 30 getting standard treatment alone. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Intralipid (fat emulsion given intravenously)
- What this could lead to
- If it had worked, this could have pointed to a simple, widely available treatment to reduce hospital time and deaths from organophosphorus poisoning.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so there is no data. Even if conducted, it was a small early-stage study, and results might not have been conclusive.
