Bupivacaine Liposomal Injectable Suspension, Pain and Narcotic Use After Elective Orthognathic Surgery

June 9, 2020 updated by: Boston University

Does Bupivacaine Liposomal Injectable Suspension Decrease Post-operative Pain and Narcotic Use After Elective Orthognathic Surgery?

This research is being done to determine quantitative and qualitative differences in patients' post-operative pain levels following elective orthognathic surgery after the local administration of a liposomal bupivacaine injection.

A primary objective is to determine whether using a liposomal bupivacaine injection placed locally at the conclusion of elective orthognathic surgery will decrease pain levels (as determined by VAS scores). A secondary objective is to examine whether using a long acting liposomal bupivacaine injection locally at the conclusion of elective orthognathic surgery leads to decreased use of narcotics post-operatively.

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

Participants in Group 1 (study group) will receive ExparelTM (133 mg/10 ml - 4 ml into the maxilla, and 6 ml into the mandible). This will be injected into the soft tissue and gingiva surrounding the surgical site at the time of wound closure. Participants in Group 2 (standard of care) will receive bupivacaine 0.5% (4 ml into the maxilla, and 6 ml into the mandible) injected into the soft tissue and gingiva surrounding the surgical site at the time of wound closure.

Post-operatively, all participants will be cared for utilizing the current standard post-operative pain management protocol for all patients undergoing elective orthognathic surgery at Boston Medical Center. This consists of acetaminophen 325 mg given every 4 hours as a scheduled medication; patients also receive an additional 325 mg of acetaminophen for a reported pain level of 1-3, 5 mg of oxycodone for a reported pain level of 4-6, and 10 mg of oxycodone for a reported pain level of 7-10. All participants will be provided the same methods of postoperative pain control following their elective orthognathic surgery.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

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.
EXPERIMENTAL: Group 1- Bupivacaine extended release liposome injection
Bupivacaine extended release liposome injection (Exparel TM) is a novel formulation of bupivacaine designed to achieve long-acting postoperative analgesia.
Drug: Bupivacaine Extended Release Liposome Injection
Bupivacaine Extended Release Liposome Injection (Exparel TM) 133 mg diluted in 10ml of normal saline (13.3 mg/ml) will be injected with a 25 gauge needle directly into the gingiva surrounding the surgical site at the conclusion of surgery.
Other Names:
  • Exparel TM
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Group 2- Bupivacaine HCl
Bupivacaine HCl (Marcaine) is a local anesthetic that reduces the flow of sodium in and out of nerves which decreases the initiation and transfer of nerve signals in the area in which the drug is applied.
Drug: Bupivacaine HCl
10ml of Bupivacaine HCl 0.5% will be injected with a 25 gauge needle directly into the gingiva surrounding the surgical site at the conclusion of surgery.
Other Names:
  • Marcaine

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Post operative pain
Time Frame: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 72, and 96 hours after surgery
After surgery, participants will document in a pain journal what their pain level is based on a smiley face visual analog scale (VAS) from 0-10, where 0='no pain' and 10='worst possible, unbearable, excruciating pain'. They will rate their pain using the VAS 14 times - every 4 hours the first 48 hours and then at 72 and 96 hours post surgery. Higher scores are associated with more severe pain. The participant will return the pain journal at their post operative assessment visit.
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 72, and 96 hours after surgery

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post operative narcotic use
Time Frame: daily up to the 2 week post surgical visit
The time and dosage of narcotics used in the postoperative period will be documented in the participants' medical record records while hospitalized and documented in the participants' pain journal once discharged. The data from the medical records and pain journal will be used to assess total narcotic pain use.
daily up to the 2 week post surgical visit
