NSAID Use After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy

Q: What is the NCT05842044 clinical trial studying?

The purpose of this study is to see how effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are at controlling pain without side effects in participants after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Q: Who can participate in NCT05842044?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

Q: How do I contact the trial site for NCT05842044?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Q: Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.

NSAID Use After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (No-PAIN): a Randomized, Controlled Trial

NSAID Use After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (NCT05842044) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Kidney Cancer and Renal Cancer, sponsored by University of Miami. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Kidney Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 110 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Kidney Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients undergoing uncomplicated robotic assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal mass at the University of Miami Hospital and Network Sites (Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Lennar (Coral Gables), and Kendal). - Age 18-99. - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written willing to sign a consent form document. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Allergy to NSAIDs - Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 12 months. - Any history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. - History or active peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, GI perforation. History of bleeding disorder. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation). - Taking any anti-platelet or anti-coagulation medications concurrently (e.g. warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, rivaroxaban etc.) - Chronic opioid use (use within 12 weeks) or history of opioid use disorder. - Solitary kidney. - Pregnancy. - Inability to give willing to sign a consent form or unable to meet requirement of the study for any reason. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
