About this study

Official title: RePPAIR -Reducing Procedural Pain and Improving Recovery of Quality of Life in Pediatric Neuroblastoma Patients Undergoing Bone Marrow Procedures: A Prospective Randomized Cross-over Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to identify whether or not the addition of a numbing medicine that is injected directly into the site of the bone marrow procedure can reduce pain and the use of opioid pain medication after bone marrow procedures. The addition of this medicine, called ropivacaine, is the experimental part of this study. This is the first time ropivacaine will be directly injected into the bone marrow site at MSKCC Pediatrics.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing propofol, ropivacaine and Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale in people with Neuroblastoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2022. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Apr 2022). 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?

Number of Participants Requiring Post-procedural Opioid Analgesia Per Study Arm (time frame: within 24 hours (+/- 4 hours) post procedure). 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 NCT02924324, 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.
