Details and patient eligibility

About

To compare 2 different models for prescribing opioid pain medication to provide better pain control to participants with an abdominal cancer who are having surgery.

Full description

Primary Objectives:

The co-primary objectives of this study are as follows:

  1. To determine differences in the initial OME prescribed upon discharge between each algorithm/model.

  2. To determine OME usage by day 14 after hospital discharge.

Secondary Objectives:

Secondary objectives are as follows:

  1. To determine rates of patients with zero OME upon discharge.
  2. To determine rates of OME refill requests and completions at 15- and 30-days post-operation.
  3. To determine number of unused or leftover pills at 15- and 30-days post- operation
  4. To determine persistent opioid use at 30-days, 3-months, and 6-months post-operation
  5. To elucidate patient, prescriber, and oncologic factors predictive of persistent opioid use
  6. To assess quality of life using patient-reported outcomes at 30-days, 3-months, and 6-months post-operation.
  7. To determine patient satisfaction with either prescribing model.

Single Group Assignment

Masking

None (Open label)

150 participants in 2 patient groups

5x-Multiplier Model
Experimental group
Description:
In this group, you will be given 5 times the amount of opioid medication you needed on your last day in the hospital. You would then use this supply plus standard non-narcotic pain medications.
Treatment:
Drug: Tramadol
Drug: Hydrocodone
Drug: Oxycodone
3-Tier Model
Experimental group
Description:
The total amount of opioid medication you needed on your last day in the hospital to set a maximum number of opioid medications at discharge (up to 30).
Treatment:
Drug: Tramadol
Drug: Hydrocodone
Drug: Oxycodone
