  4. Study Introduction

  5. Background • Pain is a common consequence of orthopaedic trauma • Poor pain control predicts physical disability, delayed return to work, psychological distress, low satisfaction with healthcare, and failure to participate in physical therapy • 50% to 70% patients experience moderate/severe pain in acute care settings and report insufficient postoperative pain relief • Inadequate pain management can prolong patient recovery, increasing length of hospital stay and health-care costs • 30-50% of patients who have acute postoperative pain develop chronic pain that can have major negative effects on quality of life

  6. Rationale • Preoperative and perioperative pain management has been found to substantially improve post surgical pain control in numerous settings • These techniques have not been widely used in orthopaedics due to conflicting data about increased risk of nonunion, wound closure and bleeding complications • Given the central role of pain management in the etiology of long-term disability following trauma, it is critical to definitively resolve this question in the context of a randomized clinical trial

  7. Inclusion Criteria (version 9) • Patients with one of the following types of injuries: • Unilateral, Grade I &II open or closed pilon (distal tibial plafond), calcaneus, talus fractures and Lisfranc dislocations requiring operative treatment with fixation; or • Unilateral, open (type I, II, or IIIA) ankle fractures with associated dislocation on presentation (OTA 44B3 or 44C) requiring operative treatment with fixation; or • Unilateral, open or closed distal and proximal humerus (OTA 11A-C and OTA 13 A-C); or • Open femoral shaft fracture (OTA 32 A-C; Gustilo Type I-IIIC) or open or closed supracondylar femur fractures (OTA 33 A-C); or • Open or closed tibial plateau or shaft fractures (OTA 42 A-C or 43 A-C) • Any combination of the above injuries which are surgically treated as a whole. • Patients who present to the admitting hospital acutely or clinic following an initial assessment in the Emergency Department, for care up to 10 days following initial injury. • Patients 18-80 years old inclusive • Patients who are English or Spanish competent • Treating physicians agree that none of the study drugs are indicated for standard of care treatment for this patient • Patients able to be followed at the METRC facility for at least 12 months following definitive surgical procedure

  8. Exclusion Criteria • Patients unable to provide informed consent • Patients with difficult follow up • Patients with medical contraindications to using study drugs (including allergies) • Patients with other orthopedic or non-orthopedic injuries requiring operative intervention • Patients with current opioid or gabapentinoid prescription • IVDA • Transfer patients who are >48 hours post injury • Patients who are expected to have a post-surgical stay less than 24 hours. • Patients with head injuries • Patient speaks neither English nor Spanish • Patients who are pregnant or lactating at time of screening *See protocol for detailed list of exclusion criteria

  13. Pharmacy Procedures

  14. Drug Receipt • All study drugs will arrive blinded from Fisher Pharmaceuticals in the following form: • Blister Pack • OR kits IV bags will be provided by the research pharmacy and billed along with other pharmacy fees

  15. Blister Pack Contents 28 pillscontains either meloxicam, lyrica, or placebo

  16. Operating Room Kit Contents Pre-OP Bottle: contains 2 pills either Lyrica or Placebo Post-OP Bottle: contains 4 pills either Lyrica or Placebo 9 vials: contains Ketorolac Color coded labels to place on pill bottles to indicate Pre or Post OR

  17. Responsibilities • The pharmacy is responsible for drug • Receipt • Storage • Reconstitution of Ketorolac • Dispensing • Destruction • Maintenance

  18. Prohibited Drugs • While on study drugs the patient are not permitted to take the following: • Ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin) • Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) • Celecoxib (Celebrex) • Aspirin • NSAIDs • Gabapenteniods

  19. Study Participants • Patient will be enrolled and randomized with in 48 hours of arriving to the hospital • The Research Coordinator will get patient ID, blister pack ID and OR kit ID numbers • All ID#s plus additional pharmacy correspondence will be communicated to the pharmacy

  20. Pre-Operative Stage • Once the patient is enrolled into the study they will start on pre-operative (blister pack) meds

  21. Pre-Operative Stage • From the blister pack the patients will get 1 pill BID (1 pill QD for renal compromised patients or age ≥ 65 patients) for up to two weeks • If the patient goes to the OR during the time they are taking the blister pack meds, they will stop the blister pack meds and go to the peri-operative stage • When the patient is discharged they will take the blister pack home

  22. Peri-Operative Stage • When the patient has an operative procedure they will receive drugs from the OR kit

  23. Peri-Operative StagePre-Surgery • One hour prior to surgery the patient will get from the OR Kit: • 2 pills (1 pill for renal compromised patients or age ≥ 65 patients) • One IV bag (50 mL normal saline with or without Ketorolac) *30 mg (15 mg for renal compromised patients or age ≥ 65 patients) Ketorolac will need to be reconstituted into IV bag

  24. Peri-Operative StagePost-Surgery • Up to 48 hours after surgery the patient will get: • 1 pill q12h (1 pill q24h for renal compromised patients or age ≥ 65 patients) • One IV bag q6h (50 mL normal saline with or without Ketorolac) *30 mg (15 mg for renal compromised patients or age ≥ 65 patients) Ketorolac will need to be reconstituted into IV bag

  25. Drug Accountability

  26. Drug Accountability Log

  27. Drug Dispensing Log

  28. Patient ends study

  29. End of the study • The patient will bring the blister pack back with them to the pharmacy or research coordinator • The pharmacy will dispose of the pills and SAVE the blister pack card for the research coordinator • Please record pill wasting in the patient's dispensing log

  30. Questions to think about

  31. Pre-Operative Stage • Administration of study drugs from the blister pack while the patient is hospitalized – each site will determine if the blister pack will stay in the medication room/cart of the floor and the medication administered by the RN, or if each dose will be dispensed individually by the pharmacy. • Wasting of study drugs if the patient is receiving the peri-operative protocol – who will be responsible for ensuring this occurs? What are hospital procedures for this process? • Use of electronic medication administration records – are study drugs typically included in order sets? How will this be handled locally? • Discharging the patient with the blister pack and instructions for taking remaining medications.

  32. Peri-Operative Stage • Administration of study drugs from the box of medications during this perioperative period – each site will determine if the entire box of medications will be dispensed to accompany the patient and be administered by the RN at each point a medication is due per the protocol, or if each dose will be dispensed individually by the pharmacy. • Use of electronic medication administration records – are study drugs typically included in order sets? How will this be handled locally?

  33. METRC Contact

  34. Study Contacts • Every site has a Pain Study Research Coordinator that will contact you • If you have questions please contact the MCC Study Manager: Tara Taylor 410-614-6081 ttaylo56@jhu.edu

  35. Next Steps • If the study coordinator has not contacted you they will do so soon • Fisher will send the pharmacy the first batch of study drugs • Drugs will be shipped to address listed on DEA-223 License that was sent to Tara
