About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Early Diuresis Following Colorectal Surgery

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving a medicine called furosemide, which is a diuretic or water pill, after colon surgery will safely shorten the patient's length of hospital stay.

Read the detailed description

This study will assess if administration of a loop diuretic, specifically furosemide, to achieve euvolemia can safely reduce length of stay following colorectal surgery.

Being tested
Furosemide, Celecoxib, Gabapentin
Keywords
colorectal surgery, volume status

What participants receive

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

  • FurosemideDrug

    Also called Lasix

  • CelecoxibDrug

    Also called Celebrex

    Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain or inflammation.

  • GabapentinDrug

    Also called Neurontin

    Gabapentin is a oral drug used to treat seizures, postherpetic neuralgia, and restless legs syndrome.

Study groups in NCT02351934
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Furosemide + Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS)ExperimentalFurosemide 10 mg IV on post-operative day #1 and/or 2, plus ERAS, as described in other arm.
Receives: Drug: Furosemide; Drug: Celecoxib; Drug: Gabapentin
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS)Active comparatorERAS included administration of celecoxib and gabapentin in the pre-operative setting, single-injection intrathecal analgesic administration immediately prior to induction of general anesthesia, post-operative administration of scheduled acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or tramadol, and discontinuation of IV fluids by 0800 on postoperative day (POD) 1. Intraoperative fluid administration was dependent on the individual anesthesia provider with no unified commitment to either zero balance or goal-directed fluid therapy. Fluid status was determined based on patient weight. Patients were weighed preoperatively and daily post-operatively using either a bed scale or a unit-based scale.
Receives: Drug: Celecoxib; Drug: Gabapentin

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of Hospital Stay

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2-7 days.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants Readmitted to Mayo Clinic Within 30-days

    Measured: Within 30 days of release from hospital

  2. Number of Participants Requiring Nasogastric Tube Placement

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  3. Time to Stool Output

    Measured: Up to 4 days

  4. Number of Participants With Acute Kidney Injury

    Acute kidney injury (AKI) refers to an abrupt decrease in kidney function, resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products and in the dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolytes. The term AKI has largely replaced acute renal failure (ARF), reflecting the recognition that smaller decrements in kidney function that do not result in overt organ failure are of substantial clinical relevance and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The AKI experienced by these patients was not considered an adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  5. Number of Participants With Hypokalemia

    Hypokalemia is generally defined as a serum potassium level of less than 3.5 mmol/L.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Furosemide, Celecoxib and Gabapentin in people with Colorectal Disorders, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 22 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 7 May 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Hospital Stay (time frame: Up to 7 days). 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 7 May 2018.
