About this study

Official title: Effect of Lidocaine Infusion on Acute Rehabilitation After Radical Cystectomy

Radical cystectomy (RC) remains the gold standard for treatment of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer, or recurrent high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Nowadays, enhanced recovery pathway is used to decrease morbidity and improve acute rehabilitation after RC. Postoperative ileus is the most frequent reason for prolonged hospital stay following cystectomy.

Read the detailed description

Radical cystectomy remains the gold standard for treatment of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer, or recurrent high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The high rates of morbidity and mortality reflect the fact that the majority of patients undergoing this procedure are elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. Postoperative ileus is the most frequent reason for prolonged hospital stay following cystectomy. To reduce the risk of ileus, prokinetics such as metoclopramide should be used postoperatively. Local anesthetics exert their actions as local anesthesia and antiarrhythmic through Na channels blocking but still have many other important actions through other receptors (e.g., m1 muscarinic receptors) that occur at very low plasma levels compared to levels needed for Na channels blocking, one of these actions is the anti-inflammatory effect against surgical stress response. Several randomized studies found that i.v. lidocaine shortens duration of postoperative ileus and some of it reported decreased postoperative pain with i.v. lidocaine, so they recommended i.v. lidocaine as a safe, simple, and less invasive method for management of postoperative ileus and equal to postoperative epidural analgesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and IV normal saline in people with Postoperative Ileus, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Aug 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

Postoperative return of gastrointestinal (GI) function (time frame: 15 day). 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 NCT03047057, 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 7 Aug 2018.
