About this study

Official title: A Pain Relief Trial Utilizing the Infiltration of a Multivesicular Liposome Formulation Of Bupivacaine, EXPAREL®: A Phase 4 Health Economic Trial in Adult Patients Undergoing Ileostomy Reversal

This study is designed to compare the standard of care against EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) to determine if total opioid consumption is reduced when using EXPAREL, therefore possibly reducing total hospitalization costs.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 4, prospective, sequential, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and health economic benefits of intraoperative local wound infiltration with EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) compared with postsurgical administration of standardized intravenous (IV) morphine sulfate or Sponsor-approved equivalent for postsurgical analgesia in adult patients undergoing ileostomy reversal with general anesthesia.

Group 1 Standard of Care, Group 2 EXPAREL
Keywords
Ileostomy reversal

What participants receive

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

  • Group 1 Standard of CareDrug

    Patients in this group will receive IV morphine sulfate or Sponsor-approved equivalent via PCA pump, as needed.

  • Group 2 EXPARELDrug

    Also called bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension

    Patients in this group will receive 266 mg EXPAREL diluted with preservative-free 0.9% normal saline to a total volume of 30cc and administered via wound infiltration prior to wound closure. When not contraindicated, 30 mg IV ketorolac will be given at the end of surgery. If not indicated, IV non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) may be substituted per the site's standard of care.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total Opioid Burden

    Total opioid consumed (IV and PO) postsurgically until hospital discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner

  2. Health Economic Benefits

    Total cost of hospitalization until the time the discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  3. Health Economic Benefit

    Length of stay (LOS), recorded in hours, defined as the time of completion of the wound closure until the hospital discharge order is written or through Day 30, whichever is sooner.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Incidence of Opioid-related Adverse Events

    Incidence of opioid-related adverse events defined as somnolence, respiratory depression, hypoventilation, hypoxia, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, constipation, sedation, confusion, pruritus, urinary retention, and postoperative ileus.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  2. Patient Satisfaction With Postsurgical Analgesia

    Responses to one question pertaining to patient satisfaction with postsurgical analgesia

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  3. Patient Discharged From Hospital for at Least 3 Days

    Yes, if patient discharged from hospital for at least 3 days; no, if patient not discharged from hospital for at least 3 day; not reported, if applicable.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  4. Patient Made Unplanned Visit(s) With Any Healthcare Providers

    Yes, if patient made unplanned visit(s); No, if patient did not make unplanned visits; not reported, if applicable

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  5. Contact or Attempted to Contact Surgeon/Doctor to Discuss Recovery After Surgery

    Yes, if contacted or attempted to contact; No, if did not contact and did not attempt to contact; not reported, if applicable.

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  6. Experienced Health Problems or Changes in Health Since Hospital Discharge

    Yes, if experienced health problems or changes in health; No, if did not experience health problems or changes in health; not reported, if applicable

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

  7. Time to First Opioid Administration

    Time in hours to first opioid administration

    Measured: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Group 2 EXPAREL in people with Retraction of Colostomy, run by Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 2 sites in United States.

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 11 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 6 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total Opioid Burden (time frame: Wound closure to time hospital discharge order is written or Day 30, whichever is sooner). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01509638, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2014.
