About this study

Official title: Tumescent Lidocaine Effects on Platelet Function Following Liposuction Surgical Trauma: a Prospective Controlled Dosage-response Phase I Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lidocaine, delivered into subcutaneous tissue for tumescent local anesthesia, on platelet activation following the tumescent liposuction.

Read the detailed description

The current research study is intended to examine this hypothesis by determining if tumescent lidocaine increases the results of a test which measures the volume of bleeding which occurs when a tiny standardized incision is made on the forearm. This test is the BA test. The investigators will do BA tests before and after infiltration of lidocaine in the form of tumescent local anesthesia for liposuction and then compare the differences of these BA test results.

The purpose of the present research project is to study how platelet function after surgical trauma (liposuction) is affected by tumescent lidocaine. The investigators hypothesize that lidocaine, delivered in the form of tumescent local anesthesia, inhibits surgical trauma-induced platelet activation as measured by the in-vivo Klein Bleeding Area test (www.onlinePFT).

The Klein Bleeding Area (BA) test is an extension of the classic Ivy Bleeding Time (BT) test. The BT test, an in-vivo test for an abnormal bleeding tendency, involves making a small standardized cut in the skin and measuring the duration of bleeding. The BA test has significantly more sensitivity and specificity than the BT Test.

This research project is a dosage-response clinical trial in which the predictor variable is the milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) dosage of tumescent lidocaine and the response variable is the Bleeding Area (BA). A result indicating that tumescent lidocaine does indeed impair post-operative platelet function would justify a subsequent randomized clinical trial of tumescent lidocaine for preventing post-operative thromboembolism.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tumescent lidocaine infiltration in people with Postoperative Thromboembolism, run by Klein, Jeffrey A., M.D. 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 3 inclusion and 11 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 25 Feb 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Tumescent lidocaine effects on platelet function following liposuction surgical trauma: a prospective controlled dosage-response phase I clinical trial (time frame: two years). 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 25 Feb 2014.
