About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a 300-mg Dose of the INL-001 (Bupivacaine Hydrochloride) Implant in Patients Undergoing Abdominoplasty

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study of the INL-001 (bupivacaine HCl) implant, at 300 mg, in patients following abdominoplasty to evaluate postoperative analgesia.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study of the INL-001 (bupivacaine HCl) implant, at 300 mg, in patients following abdominoplasty. Patients will undergo abdominoplasty and have INL-001 or placebo implanted intraoperatively.

The study includes a screening period, an inpatient period (preoperative, intraoperative, immediately postoperative) of approximately 4 days and an outpatient follow-up period (up to 30 days after treatment). Efficacy assessments will be made through 72 hours after treatment (after implant placement). Posttreatment safety assessments will be made throughout the study after the informed consent form is signed, and as specifically scheduled through 72 hours posttreatment, on day 7 (telephone), on day 15 (clinic visit), and on day 30 (clinic visit). Unless the investigator determines further hospitalization is necessary, the patient will be discharged on the day occurring 72 hours after surgery Inpatient day 4).

During the screening period, all patients will undergo eligibility and other screening and safety assessments. On the day of surgery, patient eligibility will be reconfirmed before the start of surgery, patients will be randomly assigned to treatment, and adverse events and prior/concomitant medications will be reviewed. Patients will undergo an abdominoplasty conducted under general anesthesia.

Adverse event and concomitant medication information, including use of rescue pain medication, will be collected throughout the study (inpatient and outpatient). Surgical wound healing/grading assessments and assessment for signs and symptoms potentially indicative of systemic bupivacaine toxicity will be made.

After surgery, patient reports of pain intensity using an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be recorded at multiple time points through 72 hours posttreatment. Patients will be permitted rescue medication (oral and/or intravenous) to manage breakthrough pain when it occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. SPI24

    Sum of pain intensity (SPI).The time weighted sum of pain intensity from 0 to 24hours (ie, the area under the NRS PI curve from 0 to 24 hours). For the purpose of SPI computation, Pain Intensity at Time 0 (Baseline PI) is set to zero for all patients who have test article implantation. Minimum value would be "0" and Maximum value would be 240. Time-weighted SPI is calculated as the sum of the pain intensities between successive time points (i.e., if SPI24 = ∑[PI x (time t - time t-1)], where "t" represents a given time point,"t-1" represents the previous time point, and time is expressed in hours). This represents the AUC (Area Under the Curve) of the pain intensities when calculated with the trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: 0 to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of INL 001 implants after placement

    Safety is assessed and measured by frequency and severity of adverse events

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in people with Pain, Postoperative and Abdominoplasty, run by Innocoll at 4 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 21 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

SPI24 (time frame: 0 to 24 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 NCT04785625, 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 21 Nov 2022.
