About this study

Currently, the management of pain after cardiac surgery is based on the concept of multimodal analgesia: Combined use of non-opioid analgesics associated with morphine intravenous analgesia by a system controlled by the patient (patient-controlled analgesia-PCA).

The combination of paracetamol and morphine PCA is very effective on pain at rest, but is limited on pain mobilization and causes the problem of side effects associated with opioid (overdose, sedation, respiratory depression, gastrointestinal intolerance, urinary retention ...) which are contributing factors to increase the length of stay in Intensive Care Unit, an additional cost of care and an increase postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods that have proved their effectiveness on pain and mobilization used in postoperative cardiac surgery are: anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and / or loco-regional analgesia techniques. NSAIDs enhance analgesia produced by PCA Morphine and allow a reduction in morphine consumption, improved postoperative pain, decreased sedation and decreased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Adverse effects of NSAIDs are commensurate with their time and exposure dose. Consequently, NSAIDs, in the absence of against-indications, should always be prescribed and used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest possible time.

Some studies have suggested that lower doses of NSAIDs didn't appear to affect their effectiveness. At present, the investigators have no studies that address the hypothesis from which minimum dose of ketoprofen analgesic effect is obtained.

The investigators hypothesis is that lower dose ketoprofen may have efficacy on pain in the postoperative mobilization of cardiac surgery. The investigators want to find, in their study, this "optimal" ketoprofen dose which would be the minimum dose for clinical efficacy demonstrated dose.

This optimal dose could reduce the number of adverse effects of NSAIDs, but their study will probably not have enough power to prove it. NSAID use at these low doses, in postoperative cardiac surgery, could be extended to patient populations most at risk or for a duration longer than 48 hours.

Read the detailed description

To answer this hypothesis the investigators will consider starting a study of four groups of patients where appropriate doses to patient weight gradually increasing ketoprofen will be used in seeking the minimum effective dose.

Four groups will be determined by randomization. In all these groups, analgesia will be supplemented by a systematic standard self-administered treatment with morphine and paracetamol.

  • Group 1 : Placebo group (P). 0 mg/kg ketoprofen IV every 6 hours for 48 hours (or 0 mg/kg every 24 hours) for 48 hours.
  • Group 2 : "Ketoprofen quarter dose" (K ¼). 0,125 mg/kg ketoprofen IV every 6 hours (0,5 mg/kg every 24 hours) for 48 hours.
  • Group 3 : "Ketoprofen half-dose" (K ½). 0,25 mg/kg ketoprofen IV every 6 hours (1 mg/kg every 24 hours) for 48 hours.
  • Group 4 : "Ketoprofen full dose" (KPD). 0,5 mg/kg ketoprofen IV every 6 hours (or 2 mg/kg every 24 hours) for 48 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain at the mobilization

    Pain at the mobilization of the first 48 hours postoperatively, measured every 4 hours by simple numerical scale or VAS (0: no pain to 10: unbearable pain)

    Measured: At the first 48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Demographic criteria

    Measured: at day 1

  2. Quantity of sufentanil administered intraoperatively

    Measured: at day 1

  3. Pain at rest measured by Visual Analogue Scale

    Pain at rest measured every 4 hours from H0+4 hours to H+48 hours by Visual Analogue Scale (H0 : sedation stop time, 1 hour before waking)

    Measured: at day 1

  4. Total morphine consumption

    Measured: from H0 to H0+48 hours

  5. Blood gas monitoring 3 times a day

    Measured: from H0 to H0+48 hours

  6. Time of removal of drains after surgery

  7. Resumption of transit characterized by the first gas time after surgery.

    Measured: at day 1

  8. Nausea occurrence (number of episodes) assessed every 4 hours

    Measured: from H0 to H0 +48 hours

  9. Vomiting occurrence (number of episodes) assessed every 4 hours

    Measured: from H0 to H0 +48 hours

  10. Effective Duration of stay in the Intensive Care Unit

    Measured: at day 1

  11. Patient satisfaction for its first mobilization assessed by simple scale Likert

    Measured: at H0+ 48 hours

  12. Occurrence of the following complications: Renal respiratory cardiac Neurological infectious Hemorrhagic

    Measured: From H0 to H0+48 hours

  13. Any readmission to the intensive care unit in the two weeks following the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ketoprofen in people with Cardiac Surgery and Post-operative Pain, 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 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 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. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain at the mobilization (time frame: At the first 48 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT02180087, 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 2 Jul 2014.
