Sufentanil Sublingual Tablet System for Postoperative Pain Management After Total Knee Arthroplasty

June 24, 2020 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tivoli

Sufentanil Sublingual Tablet System For Management Of Postoperative Pain In Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Pathway For Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Sublingual Sufentanil Tablets System (SSTS, Zalviso ®) to control postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty in the context of early rehabilitation program.

SSTS is a novel patient controlled analgesia system wich does not require intravenous access, potentially improving pain control and promoting mobilization.

SSTS will be randomly compared to nurse-driven oral Oxycodone.

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

Even with multimodal analgesia (combining local anesthetic infiltration, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen), total knee arthroplasty is associated with acute moderate-to-severe postoperative pain requiring opioids treatment. We compare the efficacy of SSTS and oral Oxycodone in this context.

After written informed consent, patients will be randomly assigned postoperatively to SSTS or Oral oxycodone group at a ratio 1:1. Pain scores, mobilization and patient satisfaction will be analyzed.

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.

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
Postoperative pain score assessed at 24 hours
Time Frame: 24 hours after surgery
A numerical pain scale anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100 [100-mm scale]) will be used to evaluate pain at rest and dynamically 24 hours after surgery
24 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
Postoperative pain scores assessed over 48 hours

A numerical pain scale anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100 [100-mm scale]) will be used to evaluate pain at rest and dynamically
2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours, 48 hours after surgery
Time to first mobilization
Time Frame: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours, 48 hours after surgery
Successful mobilization with or without aid assessed at specific timepoints
2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours, 48 hours after surgery
Patient satisfaction
Time Frame: At completion of the study period of 48 hours
Satisfaction for the method of pain control assessed using Patient Global Assessment (PGA) of the method of pain control questionnaire at the completion of the 48h study period which consist on a 4-point categorical scale, where 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, and 4 = excellent.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment.
