About this study

The present study was designed to assess analgesic capacity of intrathecal administration of morphine combined with intravenous fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia (ITM-PCA) compared to patient controlled epidural analgesia using fentanyl and repivacaine (PCEA) in patients undergoing gastrectomy. The investigators hypothesized that ITM-PCA would show comparable analgesic effect to PCEA in gastrectomy.

Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • morphineDrug

    ITM-IVPCA: intrathecal administration of 0.3 mg morphine before induction of general anesthesia and application of IVPCA (basal infusion: fentanyl 0.4mcg/kg/hr, bolus: 0.16mcg/kg of fentanyl with a lock out time of 15 min)

  • RopivacaineDrug

    PCEA: epidural administration of 5ml 0.2% ropivacaine before induction of general anesthesia and application of PCEA (basal infusion: 5ml 0.2% ropivacaine with fentanyl 0.4 mcg/kg/hr, bolus: 2ml 0.2% ropivacaine with fentanyl 0.16mcg/kg with a lockout time 15min)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing morphine and Ropivacaine in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Aug 2011.
