Trial summary

Patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative restoration of bowel movement will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.

About this study

Official title: Restoration of Bowel Function After Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine

Patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative restoration of bowel movement will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to assess whether perioperative intravenous lidocaine has an impact on the early postoperative physical activity recovery of patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal resection.

The study focuses on patients with colorectal disease, which receive the laparoscopic (assisted) surgical approach.

It is hypothesized that in those patients receiving perioperative and post-operative intravenous lidocaine, bowel function recovery will be faster, probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing, less pain and attenuated inflammatory response.

Being tested
Lidocaine, Thoracic epidural block
Keywords
60 patients scheduled to have a colorectal surgery, recruit at Montreal General Hospital
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Diverticulitis

What participants receive

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

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called Xylocaine

    1% Lidocaine 1mg/kg/hr IV drip x 48hr

  • Thoracic epidural blockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Thoracic Epidural analgesia

    0.1% Epidural bupivacaine + Morphine 0.02 mg/ml drip via epidural x48 hr

Study groups in NCT01155440
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LIDOCAINE groupExperimentalBeside general anesthesia, patients will receive intravenous lidocaine bolus 1.5 mg/kg just prior induction and an infusion of lidocaine 2mg/kg/h will be started and maintained during the whole surgical procedure. Entering the recovery room, this infusion will be decreased at the rate of 1mg/kg/hour for the 48 first hours
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine
Epidural groupActive comparatorBeside general anesthesia, patient will receive epidural freezing medication for 48 hours.
Receives: Procedure: Thoracic epidural block

What is being measured

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

  1. Restoration of bowel function

    Measured: 72 hours after an operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain intensity

    Visual analog score pain (from 0-10) at rest, on walking and coughing at 24, 48 and 72 hours after an operation are assessed.

    Measured: within 72 hours after an operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and Thoracic epidural block in people with Colon Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 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 28 Nov 2011. 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 Canada. 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Restoration of bowel function (time frame: 72 hours after an operation). 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 NCT01155440, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Nov 2011.
