Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dose Finding Posterolateral Thoracotomy Study (NCT NCT00807209)

NCT ID: NCT00807209

Last Updated: 2012-05-15

Results Overview

The primary outcome metric was to be the amount of rescue epidural fentanyl administered for breakthrough pain during the first 72 hours postoperatively. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) fentanyl intake was to be summarized for each treatment group as time to first use of rescue PCA fentanyl, amount of PCA fentanyl administered over 72 hours, and total amount of PCA fentanyl administered through a number of time intervals. However, efficacy analyses were not performed because the study was terminated early after only three subjects were enrolled.
