Transitioning to a Valve -Gated Intrathecal Drug Delivery System (IDDS) (TRANSIT)

March 10, 2020 updated by: Timothy Lubenow, Rush University Medical Center

Transitioning to a Valve -Gated Intrathecal Drug Delivery System (IDDS): An Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Single-Blind, Multi-Center, Cross-Over Study (TRANSIT)

Flowonix Prometra® II Programmable Pump may require a smaller dose of drug when converting from other commercially available intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This open-label, non-randomized, single-blind, multi-center study is designed to evaluate effects of a planned 20% dose reduction when converting to valve-gated from a peristaltic pump. Study participants will be blinded (single blind) to the dose reduction aspect of this trial and must remain blinded to this dose reduction information throughout the trial in an attempt to provide an unbiased assessment of the pain encountered by the patient with their pain pump medications used.

This study will compare the historical pain medication dose and pain scores using the peristaltic pump at baseline as well as from the last pump refill visit prior to explant to the prospective pain medication dose and pain scores using the valve-gated pump and collected at refill visits 1, 2 and 3 after valve-gated pump implant (but not exceed 12 months).

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Prometra® Programmable Pump
Pain scores and drug doses will be prospectively collected for valve-gated Prometra® Programmable Pump system(Flowonix Medical)' at (refill #1, refill #2, refill #3) and will be compared to retrospectively collected pain (VAS) scores and drug doses from the last refill prior to peristaltic pump explant.
This valve gated Prometra II Programmable Pump system will be replacing prior peristaltic Synchromed II pump
Other Names:
  • Prior peristaltic Synchromed II pump
Other: Prior records for peristaltic pump
Prior pain scores and drug doses from the patients who need a new valve gated pump will be recorded and used for comparison after it is changed.

  • Prior peristaltic Synchromed II pump

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reduced pain medication through Prometra Implantable Pump System
Time Frame: 12 months from Implant
Total consumption of Pain medication both oral and intra thecal would also be recorded to show change in pain medication.
12 months from Implant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in pain score: Visual Analog Scale for Pain
Time Frame: 12 months from Implant
Visual Analog Scale for Pain is being used assess the pain throughout the 12 month which shows No pain at one end to Pain as bad as it could be at other end.
12 months from Implant
