About this study

Patients diagnosed traumatic rib fracture and need admission will be included. Patients will be divided two groups.The experimental group will be given parecoxib after visiting emergency department. The control group will be given Narcotic agent such as morphine for pain control. The outcome such as numerical rating scale (NRS) and hospital length of stay will be recorded.

Read the detailed description

3.1 Inclusion/exclusion criteria Patients who are diagnosed ribs fracture and need admission. Exclusion criteria included heart failure, Coronary artery disease (CAD) history. Traumatic cardiac injury and cardiac tamponade will be excluded, too.

3.2 Group design Patients will be divided two groups, and the experimental group will be given parecoxib after visiting emergency department. And they will be kept given after admission by intravenous method every 12 hours for 4 days. The control group will be given Narcotic agent such as morphine for pain control. The daily dose will be recorded. Finally the end outcome will be recorded.

3.3 Data collection The data of patient's medical history and laboratory results will be recorded on pre-designed case report forms (CRFs) by study nurses. In all patients, age, gender, diagnosis, co-morbidities, length of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay, Injury Severity Score (ISS) score, numerical rating scale (NRS) and outcomes, will be recorded. In addition, all microorganisms isolated and antibiotic substances applied will be documented.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Parecoxib and Morphine in people with Parecoxib and Rib Fractures, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 stopped early (reason given: Case numbers not enough, however, the funding is over). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

all cause mortality (time frame: 1 year). 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 31 Jan 2020.
