Actual (reported)This is a pilot study of biomarker evaluation and safety of pre-incisional ketorolac for patients undergoing surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. There is significant promise in the use of preoperative ketorolac to decrease the inflammatory response after surgical resection of tumors, thereby potentially reducing the risk of distant metastatic tumor spread and improving survival. This research will advance scientific knowledge by studying the safety of a preoperative dose of ketorolac prior to major surgical resection, which needs to be assessed prior to proceeding with a larger phase II study designed to evaluate traditional efficacy endpoints such as recurrence and overall survival.

Actual (reported)Number of Participants Receiving a Blood Transfusion
Hemorrhagic side effects among participants receiving ketorolac preoperatively will be assessed as the need for blood transfusions before being discharged from the hospital after surgery. The need for a blood transfusion is defined as needing two or more units of blood, which are not related to vascular injury due to technical considerations or complications, as determined by the operating surgeon.
Prior to Hospital Discharge (up to 13 days post surgery)
Number of Participants Experiencing Clinically Significant Hematoma Development
Post-surgical significant hematoma development is assessed as the number of participants experiencing a hematoma prior to hospital discharge.
Prior to Hospital Discharge (up to 13 days post surgery)
Number of Participants Returning to the Operating Room for Bleeding
Post-operative bleeding is assessed at the number of participants needing to return to the operating room for bleeding, as determined by the treating surgeon.
Prior to Hospital Discharge (up to 13 days post surgery)
Number of Participants Experiencing Postoperative Renal Failure
Postoperative renal failure is assessed as the number of participants experiencing renal failure prior to hospital discharge.

Participants randomized to receive ketorolac prior to surgery for stage I/II non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Participants receive standard-of-care surgery. Open, video-assisted thoracic surgery, laparoscopy, or robotic surgery are allowed. Standard anesthesia is administered.
Participants randomized to the control group receiving the standard of care during surgery for stage I/II non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Open, video-assisted thoracic surgery, laparoscopy, or robotic surgery are allowed. Standard anesthesia is administered. The concurrent control group is to obtain untreated biologic samples for biologic correlative studies and secondary endpoints.
30 mg ketorolac will be administered intravenously 30 minutes prior to incision.

Actual (reported)Number of Participants Experiencing Postoperative Morbidity
Postoperative morbidity is assessed as the count of participants experiencing at least one adverse event or serious adverse event from surgery to hospital discharge.
Prior to Hospital Discharge (up to 13 days post surgery)
Participants randomized to receive ketorolac prior to surgery for stage III renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Participants receive standard-of-care surgery. Open, video-assisted thoracic surgery, laparoscopy, or robotic surgery are allowed. Standard anesthesia is administered.
