About this study

Official title: A PhaseⅡ/ Ⅲ Seamless Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Paracetamol Injection as Adjuvant to Morphine-based Postoperative Analgesia-Multicentered, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial

Paracetamol,a classical analgesic agent,constitutes an essential component of multi-modal analgesia. This medication is generally safe, well tolerated and effective within recommended daily dose.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paracetamol Injection as adjuvant to morphine-based post-operative analgesia, as well as to explore the reasonable dosage of paracetamol among Chinese population under above-mentioned circumstance.

Being tested
Paracetamol injection, Normal Saline injection, Morhpine PCA
Keywords
paracetamol, post-operative analgesia

What participants receive

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

  • Paracetamol injectionDrug

    325mg(32.5mL) or 500mg(50mL) iv q6h,4 doses in 24h.Infushion time≥15min.

  • Normal Saline injectionDrug

    32.5mL or 50mL iv q6h,4 doses in 24h.Infushion time≥15min.

  • Morhpine PCADrug

    Morphine PCA will be connected upon the first dose of study drug(roughly 30min prior to the completion of would suture). Morphine PCA is set as follows:1mg bolus every 5min with background infusion of 0.25mg/h and maximal dose<25mg/4h.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Paracetamol injection, Normal Saline injection and Morhpine PCA in people with Post-operative Analgesia, run by Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd. at 16 sites in China.

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 7 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 5 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in China. 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 combined 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.

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 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?

Total morphine use in 24 hours (time frame: 24h after the 1st dose of study drug). 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 NCT02811991, 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 5 Nov 2019.
