About this study

Official title: The Effect of Timing of Intravenous Paracetamol Administration on Post-surgical Pain and Cytokines Levels Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

This study is designed as a population-based prospective randomized cohort study. A prospective cohort of patients admitted to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to morbid obesity

Read the detailed description

All adult consecutive patients admitted to surgical departments for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy will be enrolled prospectively.

For the purposes of the current study we want to determine how much paracetamol (acetaminophen) can reduce the cytokines levels in these patients

The study enrollment period is planned to be a year. The follow-up period for each patient will be until discharge from the hospital.

Conditions
Obesity, Morbid
Being tested
IV paracetamol, IV saline (NaCl 0.9 %)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing IV paracetamol and IV saline (NaCl 0.9 %) in people with Obesity, Morbid, run by Soroka University Medical Center.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yair Binyamin, MD (+972586963871, Yairben1@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

measuring of Visual Analogue pain Scale, (time frame: up to 48 hours after surgery). The study lists 2 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 NCT03221998, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 25 Jul 2017.
