Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluate the effect of 3 doses of Chloroprocaine HCl 1% (30, 40 and 50 mg) for spinal anaesthesia in adult patients undergoing short duration elective surgery of the lower limb. Patients undergoing elective short-duration lower limb surgery will be randomised into 3 treatment groups (15 patients per group) to receive one of the 3 single doses of Chloroprocaine HCl 1%, i.e. either D1, D2 or D3, via intrathecal injection.


Description:

To evaluate the efficacy of the three Chloroprocaine HCl 1% doses (i.e. D1, D2 and D3) in terms of time to complete regression of spinal block (i.e. end of anaesthesia)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to Regression of Spinal Block When Bromage score returns to 0 and sensitive perception returns to S1 To evaluate the efficacy of the three Chloroprocaine HCI 1% doses (i.e. 30 mg, 40 mg e 50 mg) in terms of time to complete regression of spinal block (i.e. end of anaesthesia) Bromage Score is comprised between 1 and 4 (1 equals Free movement of legs and feet while 4 stands for Unable to move legs or feet) Up to 5 hours after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Time to Onset of Sensory Block (Corresponding to Readiness for Surgery) Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to achievement of sensory block The evolution of both sensory and motor blocks, including sensory block metameric level, will be evaluated every 2 min until readiness for surgery, every 5 min until the maximum level is reached (two consecutive observations with the same level of sensory block) and then every 5 min until regression of two dermatomers with respect to the maximum level of sensory block. Up to 40 min after spinal injection
Secondary Time to Onset of Motor Block Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to achievement of motor block Up to 40 min after spinal injection
Secondary Time to Readiness for Surgery Time period from completion of spinal injection (time 0 h) to achievement of sensory and motor block adequate for surgery, i.e. loss of Pinprick sensation and Bromage's score = 2 at the required metameric level = T12 Up to 40 min after spinal injection
Secondary Time to Regression of Spinal Block Up to 1 h and 40 min after readiness for surgery
Secondary Time to Resolution of Sensory Block to S1(Min) Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to the time when sensitive perception has returned to S1 Up to 5 h after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Time to Resolution of Motor Block Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to the time when the Bromage score has returned to 0 (Bromage Scale comprises from 1 to 4, where 1 equals Free movement of legs and feet while 4 stands for Unable to move legs or feet) Up to 5 h after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Time to Unassisted Ambulation Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to the time when the patient can walk unassisted Up to 5 h after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Sensory Block Metameric Level Metameric level of sensory block assessed from spinal injection (time 0 h) until regression of sensory block to S1 Up to 5 h after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Maximum Level of Sensory Block Maximum metameric level of sensory block (decreased or absent sensation) achieved Up to 1 h and 40 min after readiness for surgery
Secondary Time to Maximum Level of Sensory Block Time period from spinal injection (Tsp; time 0 h) to the time when the maximum metameric level of sensory block is achieved (consider the time of the first of the two consecutive observations with the same level of sensory block) Up to 1 h and 40 min after readiness for surgery
Secondary Time to Regression of Two Dermatomers With Respect to the Maximum Level of Sensory Block Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to the time when the sensory block decrease of two dermatomers with respect to the maximum level of sensory block Up to 5 h after regression of two dermatomers
Secondary Time to Eligibility for Home Discharge Time period from spinal injection (time 0 h) to the time when the criteria from discharge are met, even if according to the hospital procedures the patient is discharged at a later time Expected up to 24 hrs post surgery
Secondary Time to First Spontaneous Urine Voiding Time period from spinal injection ( time 0 h) to the first time when the patient can pass urine unassisted Expected up to 24 hrs post surgery
Secondary Time to First Post-operative Analgesia Time from spinal injection (time 0 h) to first post-operative analgesia Expected up to 24 hrs post surgery
Secondary Time to Administration of Rescue Anaesthesia or Rescue Analgesia Expected up to 24 hrs post surgery
Secondary Concentration of 2-chloro-4-aminobenzoic Acid (CABA) in Plasma at pre-dose, 5, 10, 30 and 60 min after spinal puncture
Secondary Excretion of 2-chloro-4-aminobenzoic Acid (CABA) in Urine Time period from spinal injection ( time 0 h) to the first time when the patient can pass urine unassisted at the time of first urine voiding post surgery
