Fentanyl or esketamine for traumatic pain (FORE-PAIN) trial: study protocol for a double-blind multi-arm randomized non-inferiority trial.
Background: Although fentanyl and esketamine, administered intravenously (IV) or intranasally (IN), are standard of care for treatment of acute traumatic pain in the prehospital setting in the Netherlands, comparative evidence regarding their efficacy and safety is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of fentanyl IN, esketamine IV and esketamine IN as compared to fentanyl IV for management of acute traumatic pain in the prehospital setting.
Methods: This is a double-blind, monocenter, multi-arm, randomized non-inferiority trial in the prehospital setting in the Netherlands. Adult subjects receiving emergency care from Emergency Medical Services Ambulance Amsterdam and suffering from acute severe traumatic pain are randomized in an 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive fentanyl IV (1.0 µg/kg), fentanyl IN (1.25 µg/kg), esketamine IV (0.2 mg/kg), or esketamine IN (0.625 mg/kg). The primary endpoint is the reduction in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, 0-10) score at 10 min after first administration of study medication. The prespecified non-inferiority margin is 1.0 for the between-group absolute difference in primary outcome. The primary endpoint is analyzed according to the intention-to-treat and per-protocol principles conforming to recommendations for non-inferiority analysis. Other endpoints include reduction in NRS score at other timepoints, need for additional analgesia, patient satisfaction, and adverse events.
Discussion: This trial is one of few double-blind randomized controlled trials in the prehospital setting and aims to answer questions that have relevance to prehospital practice. Research in a prehospital emergency setting also comes with challenges, including concerns about prehospital data quality, limited research experience among personnel and a limited timeframe for data collection and follow-up. Also, informed consent needs to be deferred.
Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06051227. Registered on 9 September 2023.
期刊介绍：
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
