About this study

Official title: Effect of Intraoperative and Post-operative Opioids on Persistent Opioid Use in the Surgical Patient

A comparison of post-operative opioid use in Laparoscopic Colectomy patients receiving Opioid or Opioid-free Anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The study population will be composed of 100 patients total, 50 opioid-free anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients and 50 opioid anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients at Tampa General Hospital. After consent is obtained patients will be electronically randomized using REDCap in a 1:1 ratio and assigned to a opioid anesthesia or opioid free anesthesia group. Patients will also consent to be asked survey questions preoperatively and be followed for 12 months postoperatively at specific intervals to evaluate pain, satisfaction, and opioid prescription use. This will be done through a data mining platform and service known as REDCap. REDCap is partnered with USF to allow for subject management, data collection and the distribution of surveys via mobile phone. All data collected by REDCap is stored on a HIPPA compliant server. Patients will receive automated push notifications to their mobile phones to fill out surveys regarding their pill usage, pain, and satisfaction for a year or until cessation of opioid use is confirmed. Confirmation of opioid cessation will be performed on a case by case basis by the principal investigator, Dr. Camporesi. In addition to the surveys performed, nausea and pain scores will be collected prospectively from observation in the PACU

What participants receive

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

  • Opioid AnesthesiaDrug

    Doses/concentration of medications/agents used for the anesthetic management of the subjects enrolled in this trial may be adjusted when necessary to provide optimal subject care. Anesthesia will be induced with rocuronium, propofol, intravenous opioids, and other medication(s)/agent(s) at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject.

    Depth of anesthesia will be measured with BIS-monitoring and a standard approaching 50% suppression will be maintained throughout the main duration of surgery. Reversal agent will be administered at a post-tetanic count of 1 or 2.

    Anesthesia will be maintained with IV opioids, propofol and/or medication(s)/agent(s), including inhalation anesthetic agents, at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject.

    Tracheal extubation will be performed at the end of anesthesia after administration of reversal agent. After extubation, the investigator will determine when the subject is OR discharge ready.

  • Opioid-free AnesthesiaDrug

    Doses/concentration of medications/agents used for the anesthetic management of the subjects enrolled in this trial may be adjusted when necessary to provide optimal subject care. Acetaminophen 1g will be given prior to induction. Anesthesia will be induced with rocuronium 1mg, propofol 3-6 mg/kg, and succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg Depth of anesthesia will be measured with BIS-monitoring and a standard approaching 50% suppression will be maintained throughout the main duration of surgery. Reversal agent will be administered at a post-tetanic count of 1 or 2.

    Anesthesia will be maintained with Sevoflurane, Magnesium, Lidocaine, Ketamine, Decadron, Ondansetron, and Ketorolac at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject.

    Tracheal extubation will be performed at the end of anesthesia after administration of reversal agent. After extubation, the investigator will determine when the subject is OR discharge ready.

What is being measured

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

  1. Brief Pain Inventory

    a standardized 9 question survey broken into pain severity and pain interference sections. The sections rank various items relating to their respective categorizations of pain on a scale from 0 to 10. The arithmetic mean of each section can then be utilized to determine Severity of pain and impact of pain on daily function during the past week.

    Measured: Once a week for up to 12 months

  2. Post-surgical opioid prescription use, # of pills used per week

    Weekly pill use for pain management upon discharge

    Measured: Once a week for up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PACU: Pain Scores

    Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores every 15 minutes on a 10 centimeter scale. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (cm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-10. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. no pain (0 cm), mild pain(1-4.4 cm), moderate pain (4.5-7.4 cm), and severe pain (7.5-10 cm). Normative values are not available. The scale has to be shown to the patient otherwise it is an auditory scale not a visual one.

    Measured: 1 - 3 hours

  2. PACU: Nausea Scores

    Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) every 15 minutes scores (0-4) 0, no nausea; 1, mild nausea ≤ 15 minutes; 2, nausea ≥ 10 minutes; 3, nausea ≥ 5 minutes; 4, vomiting

    Measured: 1 - 3 hours

  3. PACU: Opioid Use in Morphine Equivalents

    Total ammount of rescue narcotics used in PACU converted to milligram morphine equivalents using CDC guidelines for prescribing Opioids

    Measured: 1 - 3 hours

  4. Patient Satisfaction

    Patient treatment satisfaction survey results

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Length of Stay

    Total length of hospital stay in hours

    Measured: 1- 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Opioid Anesthesia and Opioid-free Anesthesia in people with Analgesic Drug Dependence and Colectomy, run by University of South Florida 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2022. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Enrico M Camporesi, MD ((813) 600-9094, ecampore@health.usf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brief Pain Inventory (time frame: Once a week for up to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03367988, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 25 May 2022.
