About this study

Official title: A Double Blinded Randomized Control Trial in Outcomes for Lumbar Decompressions With Use of Liposomal Bupivicaine

Evaluate the benefit of using liposomal bupivicaine in lumbar laminectomies in terms of length of stay, IV narcotic use, 30-day narcotic use, visual analog score (VAS) and 30-day readmissions

Read the detailed description

Recent evidence suggests the use of liposomal bupivicaine (LB) in lumbar spine surgery shortens length of hospital stay and overall post-operative narcotic use. Studies have shown its utility in single level microdiscectomies and lumbar fusions, but there have been no publications regarding lumbar laminectomies and associated outcomes with LB. The investigators' hypothesis is that LB will significantly shorten inpatient stays as well as overall narcotic usage in single, double or multi-level lumbar laminectomies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall length of hospital stay from hospital admission to hospital discharge

    Length of stay will be measured in hours

    Measured: From date of hospital admission until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. IV narcotic usage

    Tracked by patient's electronic medical record

    Measured: From date of hospital admission until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks.

  2. 30-day narcotic usage

    Narcotic usage will be assessed via state narcotic databases.

    Measured: 30-day post surgery

  3. Change in Visual Analog Pain scale scores

    The scale is called the Visual Analog Pain scale. This scale provides a measure of the patient's reported level of pain . Patients will be asked to rate their pain level using the Visual Analog Pain scale. This scale uses numbers, 1-10, with 1 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain. It also uses faces depicting no pain up to the worst pain. Lower reported scores indicate the patient has little to no pain, which is desirable.

    Measured: Screening, Day of Procedure, Prior to Hospital Discharge (Post-op, Up to 2 weeks), Up to 30-days post-surgery (Follow-Up#1) and up to 12-months post-op follow up

  4. 30-day readmission rates

    Occurrences of readmission will be tracked by patient's electronic medical record

    Measured: Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Liposomal bupivacaine in people with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 1 Oct 2024. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jens-Peter Witt, MD, PhD (303-724-2306, peter.witt@cuanschutz.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall length of hospital stay from hospital admission to hospital discharge (time frame: From date of hospital admission until date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks.). 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 1 Oct 2024.
