About this study

Official title: Study of the Efficacity of the Systemic Ketamine for the Improvement of Post-Operative Analgesia After ORL Carcinological Surgery at the Alcohol-Dependent Patient.

The principal objective is to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of the systemic ketamine on the control of the pain (average consumption of morphine at 48 hours) at the alcool-dependent patient, in carcinological surgery ORL. The effect coanalgesic is found for low dose of ketamine and action anti NMDA seems to have a stabilizing effect on this particular type of patient. This imbalance of the receivers, with a greater number of r-NMDA among these patients would involve it a better analgesic effectiveness and less effects dysphoric, to see an improvement on the syndrome of weaning. The secondary objectives evaluate the pain, the ground (dependence with alcohol), the first request analgesic, the tolerance and the signs psychic (syndrome of weaning...) and the satisfaction of the patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ketamine in people with Alcoholic Patient and Carcinological Surgery ORL, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 1 inclusion and 5 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2008. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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?

Morphine consumption at 48 hours (time frame: at 48 hours). 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 NCT00329394, which also lists 2 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 8 Oct 2008.
