Oral vs IV Acetaminophen for Long-bone Fracture in Children

NCT05557344 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Summary

Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen entered the Canadian market recently and children with acute pain following a trauma are ideal candidates for the IV formulation as it may improve analgesia and consequently decrease the amount of opioids needed to achieve pain control. Due to the limited data on bioavailability, adverse effect profile and efficacy of IV versus oral acetaminophen, it is of paramount importance to generate evidence-based data to guide clinicians with a rational choice of route of administration of acetaminophen.

Therefore, we propose a pilot study to inform a future large randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare pharmacokinetics, feasibility, preliminary effects and side effects profile of oral versus IV acetaminophen in children admitted for surgical fixation of a long-bone fracture.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Acetaminophen IV

An IV infusion of 15mg/kg of acetaminophen (PrACETAMINOPHEN INJECTION, AVIR Pharma Inc.) (maximum single dose:1g) will be administered regularly every 6h as a 15-minute intravenous infusion. At the same time, an oral placebo with similar appearance as the corresponding acetaminophen oral solution will be administered.

DRUG

Acetaminophen

A liquid oral acetaminophen suspension will be administered regularly every 6h at a dose of 15mg/kg (maximum single dose: 1g). An IV infusion of NaCl 0.9% corresponding to the volume of IV acetaminophen will be administered as a 15-minute intravenous infusion at the same time as the oral dose. PrACETAMINOPHEN INJECTION ® is a clear and colorless liquid undistinguishable from NaCl 0.9%.
