Decrease Opioid Consumption With Intra-Venous (IV) Acetaminophen After Colorectal Surgery (DOCIVA) (DOCIVA)

June 14, 2016 updated by: Amir H. Aryaie, Jewish Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio

Decreased Opioid Consumption and Enhance Recovery With the Addition of IV-Acetaminophen in Colorectal Patients: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study

The investigators hypothesis is that use of IV acetaminophen will significantly decrease use of post-operative opioid consumption and enhances recovery after colorectal surgery.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

All patients undergoing laparoscopic and open colorectal surgery are randomized to receive either IV acetaminophen or placebo. All patients received an opioid patient controlled anesthesia (PCA). IV acetaminophen (1 gram) or placebo is given 30 minutes prior to operation and every 6 hours thereafter for up to 5 days post-operatively or discharge.

The investigators primary endpoint is to evaluate opioid consumption during the patient's hospital stay. The investigators secondary endpoints are to evaluate return of gastrointestinal function (ROGIF), time to diet ordered (TTDO), length of hospital stay (LOHS) and occurrence of ileus. Pain is measured with the pain visual analog scale score (PVASS) at 3, 8, 24 and 48 hours.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 90 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient undergoing colorectal operation (Hartmann's procedure, sigmoidectomy, left hemicolectomy, right hemicolectomy, transverse colectomy, ileocecectomy, colo-colonic anastomosis, colorectal anastomosis, ileo-colonic anastomosis, low anterior resection, or abdominoperineal resection)
  • Age range from 18 to 90 years old
  • Patient providing signed, written informed consent before participation in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient younger than 18 years old or older than 90 years old
  • Patient or family is unable to give consent
  • Patient who use opioids or tramadol daily for >7 days before study medication administration(patient who, in the investigator's opinion, had or was developing opioid tolerance)
  • Patient who had a chronic pain condition or any significant medical disease, laboratory abnormality, or condition that, in the investigator's judgment, could have compromised the subject's welfare, ability to communicate with the study staff, complete study activities, or otherwise restricted study participation
  • Patient who had hypersensitivity to opioids, acetaminophen, or the inactive ingredients of the study medication
  • Patient who had known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence within the previous 1 year
  • Patient who had impaired liver function
  • Patient who had fever within first 48 hours post-operatively and required acetaminophen for fever reduction

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: IV acetaminophen group
In addition to PCA (morphine or hydromorphone) all patients receive 1 gram of IV acetaminophen (100 ml ) 30 minutes prior to operation and every 6 hours thereafter for up to 5 days post-operatively or discharge.
Drug: IV Acetaminophen
1 gram every 6 hours
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Placebo Group
In addition to PCA (morphine or hydromorphone) all patients received placebo (100 ml normal saline) given 30 minutes prior to operation and every 6 hours thereafter for up to 5 days post-operatively or discharge
Drug: Placebo
100 ml of normal saline every 6 hours

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Total opioid consumption
Time Frame: 48 hours
48 hours
pain control base on pain visual Analogue Scale Score (1-10)
Time Frame: 48 hours
48 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
