Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is studying the best ways to prevent pain during and after procedures such as bone marrow aspiration and lumbar puncture with intrathecal (in the spinal fluid) chemotherapy. Researchers will study the effectiveness of combining anesthetics (medicines that help people sleep) and analgesics (medicines that relieve pain). Researchers believe that a combination of fentanyl (analgesic) and propofol (anesthetic), along with applying the skin-numbing-cream EMLA or L.M.X4™ on the area where the procedure is performed, will provide better pain control.

Each patient enrolled on this study will have three different anesthetic combinations for three different procedures, in order to determine which combination worked best for each child.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The study focusses on the following primary aims:
  • To compare 0.5 mg/kg versus 1.0 mg/kg of fentanyl to control pain in patients who have a BMT/LPIT procedure in the context of propofol anesthesia and topical anesthesia with EMLA or L•M•X 4™cream (or when necessary, lidocaine for injection).

  • To compare placebo versus fentanyl (0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg) in these same patients. The first BMT/LPIT for which patients receive any fentanyl will be used in this comparison.

The study focusses on the following secondary aims:
  • To determine which dose regimen ensures best conditions to perform bone marrow aspiration (lack of motion) and maintains hemodynamic and respiratory stability as indicators of adequate levels of analgesia during bone marrow aspiration.

  • To evaluate the safety and complications for each dose regimen.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Pain(Yes/No) [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

    During the sedation recovery period, pain was measured by one of three validated pediatric scales. Scales were applied according to the developmental ability of the participant: Numerical Pain Scale, FACES pain scale, and FLACC pain scale (a score based on behaviors observed: face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability). All three scales are scored from 0 - 10 units on a scale, and are interchangeable for comparison purposes. Any score >0 was coded "pain", and score of 0 was coded "no pain", yielding one score for each participant's procedure.

  2. Pain (Yes/No) [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

    During the sedation recovery period, pain was measured by one of three validated pediatric scales.

All three scales are scored from 0 - 10 units on a scale, and are interchangeable for comparison purposes. Any score >0 was coded "pain", and score of 0 was coded "no pain", yielding one score for each participant's procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. 20% or Greater Change in Heart Rate [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

    Measurements of 20% change in Heart Rate (yes/no) taken during recovery after surgery.

  2. 20% or Greater Change in Respiratory Rate [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

    Measurements of 20% change in respiratory rate(yes/no) taken during recovery after surgery.

  3. 20% or Greater Change in Blood Pressure [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

    Measurements of 20% change in blood pressure(yes/no) taken during recovery after surgery.

  4. Movement [The participant was monitored from the end of the procedure until sedation recovery, which lasted a maximum of 65 min. Discharge from the recovery area was determined by hospital standards of care.]

Adverse Event Reporting Description Four participants died during the study period.All 4 deaths were due to the primary disease or complications of the disease process.None of the deaths occurred within 7 days of that patient's procedure for which data was collected, and therefore is unrelated to the study treatment.
Arm/Group Title Fentanyl 0.5mcg/kg Fentanyl 1mcg/kg Placebo
Arm/Group Description Due to study termination, not all Participants completed three planned visits. Participants who completed at least one treatment with Fentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg are included in this arm. Participants were included regardless of whether they received other treatments. Due to study termination, not all Participants completed three planned visits. Participants who completed at least one treatment with Fentanyl 1.0 mcg/kg are included in this arm. Participants were included regardless of whether they received other treatments. Due to study termination, not all Participants completed three planned visits. Participants who completed at least one treatment with Placebo are included in this arm. Participants were included regardless of whether they received other treatments.

Limitations/Caveats

All 162 participants were expected to receive three treatments. Not all participants received all three treatments. Therefore, analysis required the identification of subsets of treated participants. The trial terminated early due to slow accrual.
