Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy and Safety Study to Compare Fentanyl Ionsys and Routine Care With Intravenous (IV) Morphine Patient-controlled Analgesia (PCA) in Participants Who Have Undergone Elective Major Abdominal or Orthopedic Surgery (NCT NCT00766506)
NCT ID: NCT00766506
Last Updated: 2013-04-25
Results Overview
The ability to mobilize was assessed through a combined analysis of participant's responses to the following 3 questions: 1-Because of the system/device, I had to be careful when I used my hands; 2-The system/device made it difficult for me to adjust my position in bed; 3-The system/device interfered with my ability to get out of bed and walk around. All 3 items were scored on a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from "not at all" (score 0) to "a very great deal" (score 5). Total ability to mobilize was assessed as average of 3 scores which range from 0 (best mobility) to 5 (worst mobility).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Hour 72 or early study withdrawalPopulation: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment and used the study medication at least once, and who had at least 1 efficacy measure after system application or device enablement (0 hours).

Timeframe: Baseline, Hour 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, study treatment discontinuation or withdrawal, and when participant was fit for discharge (FFD) (assessed up to 91 hours)Population: The ITT population included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment and used the study medication at least once, and who had at least 1 efficacy measure after system application or device enablement (0 hours). Here 'n' signifies those participants evaluable for this measure at the specified time point for each arm group, respectively.
Pain intensity NRS measured pain intensity experienced by the participant on a scale, 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 mean the worst possible pain. Participant's pain intensity was assessed by asking following question to the participant: on a scale 0 to 10 where 0 means no pain, and 10 means the worst possible pain, rate the pain that you have now.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: When participant was fit for discharge (FFD) (assessed up to 91 hours)Population: The ITT population included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment and used the study medication at least once, and who had at least 1 efficacy measure after system application or device enablement (0 hours).
Nurse EOC questionnaire had 22 items and covered 3 aspects of care delivery associated with acute care pain management systems: time, bothersome and satisfaction. Items were scored on a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 'not at all' (Score 0) to 'a very great deal' (score 5). The total score was calculated as the mean of the non-missing items for all the questions.

Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants evaluable for this measure.
The assessment consist of a categorical evaluation (poor, fair, good or excellent) of the method of pain control by asking following question from the participant: "Overall, would you rate this PCA (participant controlled analgesia) method of pain control as being poor, fair, good, or excellent?"

Participants were assessed for fulfilling the following FFD criteria: 1- Retaining fluids and food; 2- Passing urine without the aid of a catheter; 3- Bowel sounds and/or opening; 4- Cardiovascular stability; 5- Respiratory stability; 6- No post-operative wound complications; 7- Pain adequately controlled with oral analgesia only; 8- Adequately mobile according to locally acceptable standards for mobility for surgery type and pre-operative expectations. The FFD criteria were answered on a "Yes" or "No" basis. When all criteria were answered as Yes, participant was considered to be FFD.
