Trial summary

This trial will study the effects of fenoldopam on renal function in patients who have a single kidney undergoing surgery to remove part of that kidney secondary to renal cell carcinoma. The investigators will monitor and evaluate throughout the perioperative course the kidney function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Fenoldopam on Renal Function in Solitary Partial Nephrectomy Surgery

This trial will study the effects of fenoldopam on renal function in patients who have a single kidney undergoing surgery to remove part of that kidney secondary to renal cell carcinoma. The investigators will monitor and evaluate throughout the perioperative course the kidney function. Normally kidney function is predicted to show a worsening followed by an improvement after surgery.

The investigators want to specifically identify if the use of fenoldopam lessens the injury to the kidney with this surgery.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, blinded study-dividing patients into one of two groups: fenoldopam or placebo. The infusion will commence after placing the patient in a lateral/flex position during the operation. The infusion will continue for a total of 24 hours.Study time period will be approximately six weeks from the date of surgery. Specifically, the following pre- and post operative laboratory results will be recorded if available: . Basic metabolic panel - pre-op, post op days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 weeks

  • Serum osmolality, urine osmolality, urine sodium - pre-op, post op days 1, 3
  • Glomerular filtration rate - pre-op, post op days 1, 3, and 6 weeks
Being tested
Fenoldopam, Placebo
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Percentage of Change From Baseline

    Our intended primary analysis was to assess the effect of fenoldopam vs placebo on the GFR at post-operative day (POD) 3 with an analysis of covariance adjusting for the baseline GFR. However, because the intervention-by-baseline GFR interaction using GFR at POD 3 as the outcome was significant (P ¼ .006), the analysis of covariance was not valid. We, therefore, used the GFR percentage of change from baseline to POD 3 as the primary outcome.

    Measured: percentage of change from baseline to post-operatively day 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative Creatinine (mg/dL)

    assessed the effect of fenoldopam on creatinine over time (immediately postoperatively and on postoperative day 1, 2, 3, 4)

    Measured: "immediately postoperative, postoperative day 1, postoperative day 2, postoperative day 3, postoperative day 4"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fenoldopam in people with Partial Nephrectomy, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2018. 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Percentage of Change From Baseline (time frame: percentage of change from baseline to post-operatively day 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00743106, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2018.
