Trial summary

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is commonly performed for (pre)cancerous lesions in the esophagus. Following ESD, post-procedural chest pain is seen in many patients. Studies have shown that local bupivacaine (BP) into the residual submucosal layer of the resection wound after gastric ESD could reduce… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Local Levobupivacaine for Pain Relief After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Esophageal Lesions: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is commonly performed for (pre)cancerous lesions in the esophagus. Following ESD, post-procedural chest pain is seen in many patients. Studies have shown that local bupivacaine (BP) into the residual submucosal layer of the resection wound after gastric ESD could reduce post-procedural pain rates effectively. Levobupivacaine (LB) is equipotent to BP regarding analgesic effects, but has a better safety profile. No studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy of LB after esophageal ESD to reduce pain. Therefore, we want to evaluate the effect on post-procedural pain of local application of LB during esophageal ESD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local levobupivacaine for pain relief after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for esophageal lesions: a Randomized Controlled Trial

    The proportion of patients with major pain within 90 minutes after the procedure comparing the LB and non-LB group. Major pain is defined as a pain score of 4 or higher on a 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The highest pain score reported at any of the three pre-defined time points (30, 60, or 90 minutes after the procedure) will be used to determine if a patient experienced major pain

    Measured: 90min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Local levobupivacaine for pain relief after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for esophageal lesions: a Randomized Controlled Trial

    Pain scores based on a 0-10 NRS within 90 minutes after the procedure, 6 hours after the procedure and thereafter daily up to day 14.

    • Cumulative pain throughout 14 days based on the area under the curve of a pain versus time plot.
    • Duration of pain, defined as the number of days until pain scores were reported to be 0 on all following days.
    • Daily and overall use of analgesics up to day 14 post-procedurally registered in a patient diary (electronic or on paper).
    • Length of hospital stay in days
    • Incidence of serious adverse events related to LB administration (including allergic reactions to LB).
    • Incidence of adverse events related to LB ad ministration (including allergic reactions to LB).

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Local levobupivacaine in people with Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection and Levobupivacaine, run by Laura Boer at 3 sites in Netherlands.

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 15 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 2 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Laura S Boer, Degree of medicine (0887550224, l.boer1@antoniusziekenhuis.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local levobupivacaine for pain relief after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for esophageal lesions: a Randomized Controlled Trial (time frame: 90min). 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 2 Dec 2024.
