About this study

Gastrostomy is an intra-gastric nutritional enteral device that could be put in place by percutaneous technique under radiological guidance: allowing local anesthesia. However, there is no clear recommendation about local analgesia during this exam. Operator can chose Lidocaine with a short period of action, or Ropivacaine with a longer period of action. The association of these two drugs could enhance the analgesia post procedure. The main objective of this study is to decrease maximal pain felt during a twenty four hour stay, after a gastrostomy under percutaneous technique with radiological guidance.

Read the detailed description

Gastrostomy is an intra-gastric nutritional enteral device, allowing the nutritional support for patients presenting oral feeding disorders. Gastrostomy could be put in place by different manners:

  • Chirurgical technique or endoscopy: with general anesthesia;
  • Percutaneous technique under radiological guidance: allowing local anesthesia. This last one is better tolerated by weak patients, and involves less complication.

However, there is no clear recommendation about local analgesia during this exam. Operator can chose Lidocaine with a short period of action, or Ropivacaine with a longer period of action.

The association of these two drugs could enhance the analgesia post procedure. Indeed, pain felt during the twenty four hours post procedure seems to be the most frequent adverse effect reported by patients.

Pain could decrease significantly when Ropivacaine is added to the reference Xylocaine. Ropivacaine had already proved its efficacy in association with other antalgics.

The main objective of this study is to decrease maximal pain felt during a twenty four hour stay, after a gastrostomy under percutaneous technique with radiological guidance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of Pain

    Two points diminution for maximal pain felt during a twenty four hours after percutaneous gastrostomy under radiological guidance. It will be measured with a visual analogue scale starting at zero for no pain and ending at ten for maximal pain felt.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Level of Anxiety and Depression

    Hospital Anxiety and Depression scores will be reported and analysed for each patient. This scale is an instrument for detecting anxiety and depressive disorders. It has 14 listed items from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety (total A) and seven others relate to the depressive dimension (total D), allowing thus obtaining two scores (maximum score of each score = 21). To detect anxious and depressive symptoms, the following interpretation can be offered for each of the scores (A and D):

    • 7 or less: absence of symptoms;
    • 8 to 10: doubtful symptomatology;
    • 11 and more: certain symptomatology.

    Measured: 10 days

  2. Level of quality of life

    Brief Pain Inventory scores will be reported to evaluate the level of the patients' quality of life. For each question, score is comprised between 0 and 10, with 0 meaning no pain or no resounding on life activity, and 10 meaning the worst pain ever, and the worst resounding on life activity.

    Measured: 10 days

  3. Level of satisfaction

    Patients' satisfaction about their analgesic care will be reported with a visual analogue scale starting at zero meaning no satisfaction, and ending at ten meaning the highest satisfaction possible.

    Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and Ropivacaine in people with Cancer and Feeding Disorders, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites 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 11 inclusion and 0 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 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Difficulties in recruiting patients). 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?

Level of Pain (time frame: 24 hours). 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 Jan 2024.
