About this study

Official title: Influence of Propofol on Alveolar Macrophage Immunity in Asthmatic Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia

The change of airway responsiveness and alveolar macrophage (AM) immunity occurs during the pathogenesis of asthma. Macrophage-associated airway protection in patients with asthma is affected positively or negatively by propofol general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesized that the effects of propofol on asthmatic AMs and corresponding airway reactivity in vivo is different from the in vitro research. Through in vivo airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) observation and clinical investigation of AM immune functions from asthma patients undergoing propofol general anesthesia to clarify the precise effects of propofol on AM immunity, and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical administration of propofol in asthmatic patients. This would optimize the practice of clinical anesthesia, especially for those with the tendency of AHR.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Alveolar macrophage viability assay

    Measured: One day prior to the surgery, immediately after anaesthesia, at the beginning and the end of the operation and one day after surgeries.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Alveolar macrophage phagocytosis Assay

    Measured: One day prior to the surgery, immediately after anaesthesia, at the beginning and the end of the operation and one day after surgeries.

  2. Alveolar macrophage cytokine Assay

    Measured: One day before the surgery, immediately after anaesthesia, at the beginning and the end of the operation and one day after surgeries.

  3. Mean airway pressure

    Measured: Before operation to the end of the surgery.

  4. Curve shape of CO2

    Measured: Before operation to the end of the surgery.

  5. End-tidal CO2

    Measured: Before operation to the end of the surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Alveolar macrophage viability assay (time frame: One day prior to the surgery, immediately after anaesthesia, at the beginning and the end of the operation and one day after surgeries.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Mar 2009.
