Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

* To determine if intravenous secretin administration in escalating doses three times daily for three days will improve the pain from CP at the time of infusion, after each infusion (1 to 3 hours), at Day 7 after infusion, and at Day 30 after infusion. * To validate the safety of intravenous secretin administration at the dosage indicated in this study.

Full detailed description

12 patients will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be only those treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for the diagnosis of CP. The diagnosis of CP will be made by the PI based on standard clinical, radiographic and/or biochemical criteria. Patients must be taking prescribed opioid analgesics for the specific treatment of CP at the time of study enrollment. Only patients between the ages of 18-70 and capable of providing informed consent will be considered eligible for the study.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

VAS Score at Baseline, Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 30.

Time frame · Baseline, Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 30.

10 point visual analog scale. 0= no pain. 10= worst possible pain. Days 1, 2, 3 were infusion days that included 5 VAS scores each day.

Opiate Use at Baseline, Days 4 and 30.

Time frame · Baseline, Day 4, Day 30.

Daily opiate use (oral morphine equivalent).

Quality of Life at Baseline, Day 4 and Day 30.

Time frame · Baseline, Day 4, Day 30.

Sf-36 ranges from 0 to 151. Higher scores indicating worse outcomes.

Secondary outcomes

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events.

Time frame · 30 Days

VAS Score at Each Administered Dose.

Time frame · Days 1, 2, and 3.

10 point scare from 0-10 with higher scores meaning higher levels of pain. VAS score assessed after each dose was summarized over Days 1, 2, and 3.
