Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Pregnant patients undergoing scheduled C-section delivery

Who may be able to join

  • Pregnant women >18 year old, scheduled for elective Cesarean delivery and who desire to have a TAP block performed after delivery.
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I, II, and III

Who cannot join

  • Patient refusal or inability to cooperate.
  • Allergy, hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to liposomal bupivacaine.
  • Severely impaired renal or hepatic function (eg, serum creatinine level >2 mg/dL [176.8 µmol/L], blood urea nitrogen level >50 mg/dL [17.9 mmol/L], serum aspartate aminotransferase [AST] level >3 times the upper limit of normal [ULN], or serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] level >3 times the ULN).
  • Participants at an increased risk for bleeding or with any coagulation disorder (defined as platelet count less than 80, 000 × 103/mm3 or international normalized ratio greater than 1.5) (all contraindications to TAP block).
  • Clinically significant medical disease in either the mother or baby that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation in a clinical study inappropriate. This includes any psychiatric or other disease in the mother that would constitute a contraindication to participation in the study or cause the mother to be unable to comply with the study requirements.
  • Patient membership in a vulnerable population such as a prisoner, mentally unable to provide direct consent etc.
  • Participant has contraindication to breastfeeding or not planning to breastfeed the first 2-3 days after delivery.

What participants receive

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

  • Bupivacaine liposomeDrug

    blood and milk samples will be obtained from those subjects after TAP block

What is being measured

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

  1. milk plasma ratio

    AUC for the milk/plasma drug ratio

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. AUC of plasma

    AUC for drug concentration in plasma

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. AUC of milk

    AUC for drug concentration in milk

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Milk Expression, Breast, run by University of Minnesota 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 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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.

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?

milk plasma ratio (time frame: 72 hours). 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 NCT03526419, 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 25 Sep 2019.
