About this study

Official title: Comparing the Efficacy of Intravenous Paracetamol and Ketoprofen When Treating Renal Colic in Emergency Situations: a Randomized, Bi-centric, Double-blind Controlled Trial

The main objective of this study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of intravenous paracetamol relative to intravenous ketoprofen when treating renal colic in an emergency ward. Efficacy is measured by the change in verbal numeric scale (vns) for pain at 30 minutes.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To compare the efficacy (non-inferiority) of intravenous paracetamol and ketoprofen at 90 minutes (vns for pain).
  • To compare both arms in terms of other administered drugs (for pain).
  • To observe and compare side effects between the two arms: cutaneous manifestation, edema, bronchospasm, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitation, chest pain, dizziness, disturbance of consciousness, dyspnea, acute retention of urine.
  • To determine predictors for the use of intravenous morphine when treating renal colic.
  • To compare hospitalization rates between the two groups.
  • To compare patient satisfaction concerning care between the two groups (vns for satisfaction)
  • To observe and compare changes towards complicated renal colic (obstructive pyelonephritis, hyperalgesia, urinary tract rupture, need for surgical drainage, sepsis, death)
Being tested
Intravenous ketoprofen, Intravenous paracetamol
Medical subject headings
Renal Colic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intravenous ketoprofen and Intravenous paracetamol in people with Renal Colic and Acute Renal Colic, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 2 sites 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in vns for pain (time frame: baseline to 30 minutes). 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 12 Aug 2020.
