NCT ID: NCT01466764

Last Updated: 2017-08-09

Results Overview

Tissue samples were collected at the surgical wound site at 3 time points during the 1st 72 hours following surgery. Tissue samples from subjects receiving placebo, and subjects receiving anakinra injections pre, and post op were analyzed for IL-1

Measure
Anakinra
Two subcutaneous injections of anakinra (IL-1ra) were given, the first one hour prior to surgery and the second 24 hours after surgery. Anakinra: An injection of 100 mg Anakinra was administered 1 hour prior to surgery and again 24 hours following surgery.
Saline Injection
Two subcutaneous injections of normal saline (same volume as the anakinra group injection) were given, the first one hour prior to surgery and the second 24 hours after surgery. Normal Saline: An injection of normal saline was administered 1 hour prior to surgery and again 24 hours following surgery.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 72 hours following surgery

Population: IL-1ra measurements were invalid due to cross-reaction with the assay platform.

Tissue samples were collected at the surgical wound site at 3 time points during the 1st 72 hours following surgery. Tissue samples from subjects receiving placebo, and subjects receiving anakinra injections pre, and post op were analyzed for IL-1

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 72 hours following surgery

Analgesic consumption is reported as the count of participants receiving each analgesic type. Comparisons between the placebo and active drug groups were made at the conclusion of the study. PCA/IV: Patient controlled Analgesia/ Intravenous

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 72 hours following surgery

Population: Participants with available data were analyzed.

Pain was measured on Day 1 and day 2 following surgery using a VAS scale at rest and on stimulation with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 1-10 (1=no pain and 10=worst pain)
