About this study

Official title: Non-inferiority of Intranasal Fentanyl Versus Oral Morphine Sulfate in the Treatment of Pain in Pediatric Trauma : a Controled Randomized , Single Blind Study

Acute tramatic pain is one of main reasons for consultation in pediatric emergency departments.

To manage pain quickly and effectively must be a primary outcome of the emergency department. However, pediatric emergency department are sometimes criticized for inadequate and delayed initiation analgesia . Indeed, several studies have shown the inadequacy between the intensity of the pain evaluated by the care team and the therapeutic management of it.

The ideal analgesic must have a rapid onset of action, have a powerful analgesic effect, have few side effects and can be administered quickly and painlessly. That's why, the main outcome of this study is to assess the non inferiority of a treatment by intranasal Fentanyl vs morphine sulfate (oral use) in children with traumatic pain on arrival to pediatric emergency department.

What participants receive

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

  • Intranasal fentanyl + Oral PlaceboDrug

    Also called Intranasal Fentanyl + Oral NaCl

    Administration of intranasal fentanyl (1.5µg/kg) and Oral placebo (NaCl 0.9%) in children with acute pain in traumatic context on arrival in emergency pediatric department.

  • Oral Morphine + Intranasal PlaceboDrug

    Also called Oral Morphine + Intranasal NaCl

    Administration of oral morphine (0,4mg/kg) and intranasal placebo (NaCl 0.9%) in children with acute pain in traumatic context on arrival in emergency pediatric department.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the value of the pain feeling

    Assessment of the value of the pain feeling measured by visual analogic scale

    Measured: 45 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Delay in treatment efficacy

    Delay in treatment efficacy measured by a reduction of pain (1 point) assessed by visual analogic scale from the administration of the treatement.

    Measured: up to 45 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study of Pain, Acute, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2020. 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. 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: The new pain protocols imposed by the HAS make it difficult to include new patients in the study). 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?

Assessment of the value of the pain feeling (time frame: 45 minutes). 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 Dec 2020.
