What is being measured

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

  1. length of postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: end of hospital stay

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Hyperalgesia perioperative

    Measured: postoperative day 2, 4, 8, end of hospital stay and follow-up

  2. Cytokine levels perioperative

    Measured: before surgery and 4 hours, 2 and 4 days after surgery

  3. Bowel motility perioperative

    Measured: days after surgery

  4. Length of PACU stay

    Measured: end of PACU stay

  5. Cognitive function perioperatively

    Measured: before surgery, one and four days after surgery, at end of hospital stay and follow-up

  6. Incidence of wound healing disturbances

    Measured: within 4 weeks after surgery

  7. Postoperative Analgesia

    Measured: until end of hospital stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing lidocaine and NaCl 0,9% in people with Elective Surgical Procedure and Colorectal Surgery, run by University Hospital Muenster at 3 sites in Germany.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. 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 combined 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Less patients than expected for inclusion, therefore patient recruitment is to low). 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?

length of postoperative hospital stay (time frame: end of hospital stay). 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 NCT00413127, 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 26 Jun 2015.
