NCT01377441

Brief Summary

The administration of anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen before and after surgery has not been studied extensively. Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they are scheduled for surgery and because the investigators want to study ways to improve recovery from surgery. Ibuprofen will be given several times before and after surgery. The investigators will ask questions to determine recovery and the investigators will draw blood to determine inflammatory response.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentrations of the Cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin IL-1Beta (IL-1Beta), IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) as Well as Prostaglandin E2 at Different Time Points.

    Concentration of the cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1Beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-gamma as well as prostaglandin E2 at different time points will be our primary outcome. Changes in mediator levels in the IV ibuprofen versus placebo groups will be compared. Plasma samples will be collected before administration of any drug (after placement of IV lines), at the end of the surgery, and on the first postoperative day.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-40).

Study Arms (2)

Ibuprofen

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the two treatment group in a 1:1 ratio to receive either IV ibuprofen or matching placebo.

Drug: Ibuprofen

Placebo/Saline solution

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the two treatment group in a 1:1 ratio to receive either IV ibuprofen or matching placebo

Drug: Placebo/Saline solution

Interventions

Patients will receive either 800mg IV ibuprofen or placebo pre-operatively. Post-operatively, patients will receive either 800mg IV ibuprofen or placebo 6 hours after the first dose.

Also known as: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
Ibuprofen

Patients will receive placebo pre-operatively. Post-operatively, patients will receive placebo at least 6 hours after the initial dose.
