TRANSIT: Transitioning to a Valve -Gated Intrathecal Drug Delivery System (IDDS)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Flowonix Prometra® II Programmable Pump may require a smaller dose of drug when converting from other commercially available intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS).

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).

Arms and Interventions
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. |
Device: Prometra II Programmable Pump system(Flowonix Medical)
This valve gated Prometra II Programmable Pump system will be replacing 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. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reduced pain medication through Prometra Implantable Pump System [12 months from Implant]
Total consumption of Pain medication both oral and intra thecal would also be recorded to show change in pain medication.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in pain score: Visual Analog Scale for Pain [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.
