Ketamine for Postoperative Pain

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The study utilizes a 3-arm placebo-controlled RCT to study the effectiveness of ketamine in reducing chronic post-mastectomy pain. Participants randomized to the first arm will receive a 0.35 mg/kg dose after induction, followed by a 0.25 mg/kg/hr infusion during surgery (up to a maximum of 6 hours) and continued for 2 hours postoperatively. Participants in the second arm will receive a single dose of 0.6 mg/kg of ketamine in the post-anesthesia care unit, and the final group will serve as the control group and receive saline (no ketamine).

Nerve Interface for Post-Mastectomy Pain

Chicago, Illinois
Regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) was first developed in 2012 by Dr. Paul Cederna at the University of Michigan as a means for amputees to control their prothesis with their minds. In the decade that followed, it was found RPNI surgery not only provided amputees with neuroma (a growth made up nerve tissue) pain relief but could help prevent neuroma from developing as well. This single center, randomized controlled, investigator-initiated study will look at whether the RPNI, a nerve burying procedure involving protecting sensory nerves with a small piece of the patient's pectoralis muscle, performed at the time of the standard mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction surgery can prevent and/or reduce the risk for long-term nerve pain after breast cancer surgery (also called neuroma-related post-breast surgery pain syndrome (PBSPS)) versus the standard surgery alone (Control group). Symptoms of PBSPS include discomfort, numbness, tingling, and shooting pain in the chest and breast area. It is relatively common and may have many causes. About 200 adult females (18-65 years old) who are scheduled to undergo mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction surgery will be approached for this study. Those who agree and sign the informed consent form will be randomized in 1:1 fashion (50/50 chance) to either the RPNI group or the no RPNI (Control) group. Study participants will complete self-reported surveys (pre-surgery and at Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 post-surgery) designed to measure pain levels, quality of life, and function before and after surgery. Study participation will last approximately 12 months. Subjects will remain blinded to their assigned study arm until their study participation has concluded.

TRBR Device for Breast Reconstruction Surgery

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The GORE Tissue Reinforcement for Breast Reconstruction (TRBR) research study will look at breast reconstruction during mastectomy procedures. There will be two arms in this study, a Treatment Arm, where data will be collected for a new medical device called the Tissue Reinforcement for Breast Reconstruction (TRBR) Device and a Control Arm where data will be collected from subjects who have previously had surgery and received no additional tissue reinforcement in their breast reconstruction surgery. This research study will look at the safety of the Study Device and the success of the participants breast reconstruction. The Study Device is investigational, which means it has not yet been used nor approved by the FDA for this treatment. The data collected in this study will be compared to the data collected in the Control Arm.

Ketamine for Post Mastectomy Pain

Boston, Massachusetts
Aim 1: To determine the effectiveness of perioperatively administered ketamine to decrease acute and persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP). Hypothesis 1.1: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased postoperative pain and opioid utilization compared to those receiving saline control. Hypothesis 1.2: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased persistent postoperative pain measured at one year after surgery. Aim 2: To determine whether there is increased power to detect therapeutic effectiveness in an interventional preventive trial, by enrichment with patients at high risk of PPMP. Hypothesis 2.1: Ketamine will have a greater analgesic and opioid sparing effect on pain scores in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo. Hypothesis 2.2: Ketamine will have a greater preventive effect on pain burden scores at one year after surgery in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo.

Pain Management Strategies for Postoperative Pain

Phoenix, Arizona
This study aims to better understand the role that narcotic vs. non-narcotic multimodal pain management play in patients' pain following bariatric surgery (Laproscopic Surgery and Robotic Assisted Surgery). Participation in this study will last approximately 90 days following surgery. During that 90 day period, participants will be asked to report pain and nausea every 4 hours to a study coordinator or nurse while they are recovering in the hospital. Following discharge from the hospital patients will be asked to report pain, nausea, and any medical changes 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days from surgical date. The procedures and medications used in this study are FDA approved medical therapies and are part of Standard of Care for this population. This study aims to therapeutically investigate efficacy of the proposed pain management regimens. The procedures and individual medications are not the subject of research as they are considered routine well established and documented interventions for obesity and the treatment of post operative pain.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Post Mastectomy clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Post Mastectomy clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Post Mastectomy trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Post Mastectomy is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Post Mastectomy medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Post Mastectomy clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Nerve Interface for Post-Mastectomy Pain, TRBR Device for Breast Reconstruction Surgery and Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy for Acid Reflux to the Power online platform.
