Efficacy of Perioperative Opioid Sparing Techniques on Time to Initiation of Chemotherapy
NCT07153614 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if intrathecal morphine (ITM) administration is superior to quadratus lumborum block or surgeon administered transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks result in decreased time to initiation of chemotherapy following oncologic surgery. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine: * The difference between interventions in time to return of bowel function in days * The difference between interventions in incidence of opioid related adverse drug events (ORADEs) * The difference between interventions in cumulative and post-operative total morphine milligram equivalents * The difference between interventions in quality-of-life assessment tool and patient satisfaction (brief pain index short form BPI-sf9) * The difference between interventions in hospital length of stay in days * The difference between cumulative pain scores between interventions * The difference between short acting and long-acting bupivacaine in pain management and time to chemotherapy The hypothesis is that preoperative intrathecal morphine administration will significantly reduce the time to initiation of postoperative chemotherapy.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07153614
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07153614 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine, which has 9 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Perioperative Opioid Sparing Techniques appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Intrathecal Morphine Block is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07153614 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Tennessee. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
