About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pain, Postoperative

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: The patient's ASA physical status is 1 or 2 and he has a low risk (i.e.,<10%) of developing an acute coronary event within the next 10 years according to the PROCAM risk assessment calculator. The patient is scheduled to undergo routine radical prostatectomy performed under a standardized regimen of general anesthesia, and is expected to experience moderate to severe postsurgical pain in the absence of postoperative analgesia. Exclusion Criteria: The patient has a history of uncontrolled chronic disease or a concurrent clinically significant illness or medical condition such as a diagnosed chronic pain condition, which, in the Investigator's opinion, would contraindicate study participation or confound interpretation of the results The patient has a history or current presence of congestive heart failure (NYHA II-IV), established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease and / or cerebrovascular disease.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Cumulative Amount of Morphine Administered in the First 24 Hours Following Surgery
Total cumulative amount of morphine administered (PCA and/or bolus) in the first 24 hours after the application of the last surgical stitch after prostatectomy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Cumulative Amount of Morphine Administered in the First 48 Hours Following Surgery
Total cumulative amount of morphine administered (PCA and/or bolus) in the first 48 hours after the application of the last surgical stitch after prostatectomy.
Time to Last Administration of Morphine
Time from last surgical stitch after prostatectomy to last administration of morphine (PCA and/or bolus).
Amount of Blood Loss
Calculated as: ([Hb g/dL]pra + RBCUduring48)-[Hb g/dL]at 48, where [Hb g/dL]pra=blood hemoglobin concentration preoperatively in grams per deciliter (g/dL), [Hb g/dL]at 48=blood hemoglobin concentration 48 hours after skin closure, and RBCUduring48=number of red blood cell units (RBCU) substituted during and after prostatectomy until 48 hours after skin closure.
Number of Participants With Blood Loss Requiring Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfused Units
Pain Intensity Score
Pain intensity assessed immediately prior and 30 minutes after administration (admin) of study medication, participants categorized their pain intensity at rest and at movement on 0-4 numeric rating scale (NRS):0 (minimum intensity) to 4 (maximum intensity). Movement defined as sitting up from a lying into a sitting position in bed.
Modified Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (mBPI-sf): Pain Severity Composite Score
mBPI-sf: participant-rated 11-point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Pain severity index=the mean of item scores 2 to 5 (pain at its worst in past 24 hours, pain at its least in past 24 hours, average pain level, and pain right now).
Modified Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (mBPI-sf): Pain Interference Composite Score
mBPI-sf: participant-rated 11-point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) with functional activities (general activity, mood, walking ability, relations with other people, sleep, coughing, deep breathing, and concentration) in past 24 hours.
Opiate Related Symptom Distress Scale (OR-SDS) Questionnaire: Overall Composite Score
Participant-rated scale assessed 10 common opiate related symptoms by 3 ordinal measures: frequency (1 to 4 scale: rarely to almost constantly), severity (1 to 4 scale: slight to very severe) and bothersomeness (1 to 5 scale: not at all to very much). Frequency and severity items assigned numeric scores 1 to 4. Bothersomeness items scaled in order to assign numeric scores 0.8 to 4.0 (not at all scored=0.8, a little bit=1.6, somewhat=2.4, quite a bit=3.2, and very much=4.0). Overall composite score=mean of each 10 individual mean symptoms' OR-SDS scores; ranged from 1 to 4.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the opioid-sparing efficacy of parecoxib 40 mg intravenously given as a loading dose followed by 20 mg intravenously in the 24 hours after the end of surgery.
Detailed Description
The study was terminated due to lack of recruitment due to competing alternative operation methods on 13September 2010. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns.
