About this study

Official title: Wound Infiltration With Liposomal Bupivacaine With or Without Intrathecal Analgesia in Laparotomy for Gynecological Malignancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This phase IV trial studies how well liposomal bupivacaine with or without hydromorphone works in improving pain control during the first 24 hours after surgery in patients with gynecological malignancies undergoing laparotomy. Liposomal bupivacaine is routinely infiltrated into the skin surrounding the abdominal incision, and is effective in providing good relief of incisional pain. Hydromorphone is also a type of pain medication that may provide better management of deep abdominal pain. It is not yet known if giving liposomal bupivacaine with or without hydromorphone will work better in improving pain in patients with gynecological malignancies during the first 24 hours after surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate if no additional intervention is noninferior to intrathecal analgesia (ITA) for postoperative pain experience 24 hours after surgery after laparotomy for gynecological malignancy within an established enhanced recovery pathway which includes incisional liposomal bupivacaine (ILB).

II. Evaluate the effect of intrathecal analgesia on patient satisfaction with postoperative analgesia after laparotomy for gynecological malignancy.

III. Report the impact of ITA use on cost. IV. Validate the Quality of Recovery (QOR)-15 in our population.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients undergo standard of care laparotomy and then receive liposomal bupivacaine.

ARM II: Patients undergo standard of care laparotomy and then receive liposomal bupivacaine and hydromorphone intrathecally (IT).

Being tested
Hydromorphone, Laparotomy, Liposomal Bupivacaine, Questionnaire Administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS)

    The Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS) is a multi-dimensional survey that measures a patient's benefit from postoperative pain therapy. It assesses pain intensity, opioid-related adverse events, and patient satisfaction with analgesia. Each of 7 questions are scored on a scale from 0 to 4 where 0=minimal/not at all and 4=maximum/very much. The total score is a sum of the 7 item scores with question 7 scored as 4 minus the patient reported number. Total scores range from 0 to 28 with lower scores representing greater benefit from analgesic therapy. The median total OBAS score for each group is presented.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Cumulative 24-hour Narcotic Consumption

    Various narcotic medications are standardized and reported as Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME).

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  2. Post-operative Pain Scores

    Postoperative pain is scored on a scale of 0 - 10, with the lower score showing a better outcome.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  3. Time to First Analgesic Request

    Amount of time from leaving surgery to the first request for pain relief.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  4. Use of Intravenous (IV) Patient-controlled Analgesia

    Number of patients that used IV, patient controlled analgesia after surgery.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  5. Use of Intravenous Rescue Opioids

    Number of patients that needed IV rescue opioids after surgery.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  6. Length of Stay

    Length of associated hospitalization in days.

    Measured: Up to 1 week after surgery

  7. Additional Fluid Requirement After 24 Hours of Surgery

    Number of patients requiring additional IV fluids after surgery.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  8. Weight Gain Following Surgery

    Weight difference post- and pre-surgery.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  9. Total Cost of Care

    All medical costs occurring during hospitalization.

    Measured: Entire hospitalization, approximately 2-5 days

  10. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Reported as the number participants reporting one or more adverse events on each study arm.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after surgery

  11. Operating Room Time

    Length of time from when the patient entered the operating room to when they left.

    Measured: Approximately 8 hours

  12. Surgical Time

    Time from first incision to surgical site closure.

    Measured: Approximately 8 hours

  13. Pain Management

    Pharmaceutical costs associated with pain management.

    Measured: Whole hospitalization, approximately 2-5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hydromorphone, Laparotomy and Liposomal Bupivacaine in people with Malignant Female Reproductive System Neoplasm, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 inclusion and 15 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 Oct 2024. 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.

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 16 Oct 2024). 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?

Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS) (time frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 Oct 2024.
