What participants receive

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

  • Liposomal bupivacaineDrug

    5cc of drug preparation will be percutaneously injected into each intercostal space 3-10 under direct intrathoracic vision and subcutaneously into each surgical wound at the conclusion of the surgery.

  • Bupivacaine InjectionDrug

    5cc of drug preparation will be percutaneously injected into each intercostal space 3-10 under direct intrathoracic vision and subcutaneously into each surgical wound at the conclusion of the surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average Daily In-Hospital Use of Opioids

    Measured in Oral Morphine Equivalents per Day

    Measured: Average over Entire Length of Hospitalization (Up to 1 Week)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Average Daily In-Hospital Pain Score

    Measured 0-10 Visual Analog Scale for Pain (Higher Score Means Worse Pain).

    Measured: Average over Length of Hospitalization - Up to 1 Week

  2. Number of Participants With Postoperative Pneumonia

    Pneumonia (Y/N)

    Measured: Index Hospitalization following Surgery until Discharge - Up to 1 Week

  3. Length of Stay

    Measured in Days

    Measured: Index Hospitalization following Surgery until Discharge - Up to 1 Week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Liposomal bupivacaine and Bupivacaine Injection in people with Thoracic Diseases and Postoperative Pain, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Average Daily In-Hospital Use of Opioids (time frame: Average over Entire Length of Hospitalization (Up to 1 Week)). 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 8 Jun 2021.
