Trial summary

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended in a multimodal pain management to reduce pain intensity and to spare opioid use. However, there is a controversy in its use in pleurodesis surgery as it could block the process of pleurodesis in surgical pneumothorax. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in Pleurodesis Surgery for Pneumothorax

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended in a multimodal pain management to reduce pain intensity and to spare opioid use. However, there is a controversy in its use in pleurodesis surgery as it could block the process of pleurodesis in surgical pneumothorax. In addition, NSAIDs could increase the risk of pneumothorax recurrence.

The investigators hypothesized that NSAIDs are safe during pleurodesis with a better pain management without increasing the risk of pneumothorax reccurence.

Being tested
pleurodesis procedures, KETOPROFEN(RP19583), Placebo
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • pleurodesis proceduresProcedure or surgery

    All pleurodesis procedures will be conducted with a general anesthesia. The choice of hypnotic, analgesic and neuromuscular drugs will be at the discretion of the physician. Selective orotracheal intubation will be done for all patients with a double lumen tube or a blocker according to centers habits. Regional anesthesia (serratus block, paravertebral block and erector spinae block) will be allowed and chosen at the discretion of the physician. Multimodal pain management will be allowed with the use dexamethasone, ketamine and antinociceptive drugs (nefopam, tramadol, paracetamol at the discretion of the physician. After the surgical procedure, the pleural production of liquid or air will be monitored with a chest tube connected to pleural drainage device according to centers habits. Pain will be monitored with during the hospital stay every 12 h using the pain rate scale graded from 0 to 10. Neuropathic pain will be screened at 48h, 1 months, 6 months and 1 year after the inclusion

  • KETOPROFEN(RP19583)Drug

    one intravenous dose of ketoprofen 100 mg followed by 5 doses every 12 h of ketoprofen LP 100 mg (a total regimen of 6 doses of ketoprofen every 12 h for 72h)

  • PlaceboDrug

    placebo of ketoprofen with the schema of administration consisting in the administration of one intravenous dose of 100 ml of NaCl 0.9% following 6 oral intakes of a placebo pill every 12h (a total regimen of 6 doses of placebo of NSAID every 12 h for 72h)

What is being measured

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

  1. duration of pleural drainage

    duration of pleural drainage from the time of orotracheal extubation to the time of pleural tube remove recorded in hours.

    Measured: from the time of orotracheal extubation to the time of pleural tube remove

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. postoperative pain

    postoperative pain during the first 72h after surgery assessed by the numeric rating scale (NRS) every 12 h. Pain is defined by an NRS>3 out of 10

    Measured: at 72 hours

  2. cumulative postoperative opioid equivalent dose

    cumulative postoperative opioid equivalent dose (tramadol, morphine, oxycodone) recorded in milligram and during the first 72h after surgery

    Measured: at 72 hours

  3. Postoperative pneumonia occurence

    Postoperative pneumonia during hospital stay

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of hospital stay, up to 6 months

  4. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay in days

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of hospital stay, up to 6 months

  5. homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax

    Screen in homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax at 1month

    Measured: at 1month

  6. homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax

    Screen in homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax at 6 months

    Measured: at 6 months

  7. homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax

    Screen in homolateral or contralateral recurrence in spontaneous pneumothorax at 12 months

    Measured: at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pleurodesis procedures and KETOPROFEN(RP19583) in people with Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Pleurodesis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2025. 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 France. 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. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Florent LEVIEL, MD (33 3 22 08 91 09, leviel.florent@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of pleural drainage (time frame: from the time of orotracheal extubation to the time of pleural tube remove). 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 19 Mar 2025.
