Study Description

Brief Summary:
Phase III, international multicentre, parallel group, blinded, 1:1 randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of an intraoperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on reducing the development of persistent pain 3-months after breast cancer surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Post-mastectomy Pain Syndrome Breast Cancer Pain, Postoperative Pain, Chronic Drug: Lidocaine 20mg/ml Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
PLAN is a multicentre, parallel-group, blinded, randomized controlled trial of 1,602 patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. Consented eligible patients will be randomized to receive an intravenous lidocaine: 1.5 mg/kg bolus with induction of general anesthesia followed by a 2.0 mg/kg/hour infusion until the end of surgery (and up to 30 minutes into recovery room). Patients in the control group will receive a placebo bolus and infusion with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution). Study medications will be prepared in blinded 50 mL syringes and labelled as per Regulatory requirements. Patients will follow up on the first 3 days after surgery, and at 3 and 12-months postoperatively to report on pain, analgesic consumption, functional, mood, and quality of life outcomes

Other Name: Lidocaine 2%
Placebo Comparator: Control
Intraoperative intravenous lidocaine/placebo infusion
 Drug: Placebo
Patients in the control group will receive a placebo bolus and infusion with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution) until the end of surgery (and up to 30 minutes into recovery room).
Other Name: 0.9% sodium chloride solution


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Development of persistent pain 3-months after breast cancer surgery [ Time Frame: 3- months ]
    Persistent pain at 3-months


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pain intensities [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Pain intensities measured on the Numeric Rating Scale (NSR) at rest and movement.

  2. Opioid consumption [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Morphine-equivalent opioid consumption

  3. Moderate-to-severe persistent pain [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Defined as persistent pain with an NRS pain score of ≥4 at rest 24-hours

  4. Persistent neuropathic pain [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Measured using the Douleur Neuropathique 4-symptoms interview

  5. Sensory and affective qualities of pain [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Quality of pain is reported using the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire

  6. Emotional functioning [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Emotional functioning is reported using the Profile of Mood States (POMS)

  7. Physical functioning [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Physical functioning measured by the interference scale of the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form.

  8. Health-related quality of life quality of life [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Health-related quality of life will be assessed using EQ-5D-5L

  9. Cancer Recurrence [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Cancer recurrence will be assessed as a secondary outcome

  10. Adverse events [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]
    Adverse Events will be monitored as a secondary safety outcome

  11. Cost Effectiveness [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Healthcare Costs associated with the burden of chronic post-surgical pain will be assessed
