About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Evaluation of Intraoperative Autotransfusion Filtration for Major Surgical Oncology Operations

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and benefit of auto-transfusion filtered blood in patients undergoing major surgical oncology procedures.

Read the detailed description

Homologous blood transfusions during surgical procedures are becoming more challenging, due to lack of adequate reserves and the significant risks of transfusion reactions. Recent advances in the use of patient's own blood (autologous transfusion) has rapidly gained acceptance in major surgical procedures, however due to the requirement for prior planning and the expense of obtaining and storing a patient's blood prior to surgery this alternative is less than ideal.

This research study utilizes a third alternative, a technique called intraoperative autotransfusion, which successfully salvages a patient's blood during surgery and reinfuses the blood back into the patient. The blood salvaging device uses a filtration device that successfully filters out all tumor cells to prevent re-infusion of viable cancer cells.

This study is designed to demonstrate the safety and benefits of the blood salvaging device on patients undergoing major surgical oncology procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Pancreatectomy, run by University of Louisville at 2 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 21 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Evaluate the efficacy of intra-operative ultrasound contrast (Definity) administration (time frame: Hospital discharge). 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 21 Oct 2013.
