Trial summary

RATIONALE: Warm ischemia is the clamping of blood vessels without cooling the kidney. Cold ischemia is the clamping of blood vessels with kidney cooling.

About this study

Official title: A Phase III Multi-Institutional Randomized Clinical Trial: Effect of Type of Ischemia - Warm vs Cold During Partial Nephrectomy - on Renal Function

RATIONALE: Warm ischemia is the clamping of blood vessels without cooling the kidney. Cold ischemia is the clamping of blood vessels with kidney cooling. It is not yet known whether warm ischemia is more effective than cold ischemia in patients undergoing surgery for stage I kidney cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying warm ischemia to see how well it works compared with cold ischemia during surgery in treating patients with stage I kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the effect of warm ischemia during partial nephrectomy on long-term renal function in patients with solitary stage I renal cortical tumor and normal contralateral kidney.

Secondary

  • Determine to what degree the contralateral kidney compensates for the damage inflicted on the operated kidney during surgery.
  • Determine the 1-year disease-specific and overall survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo warm ischemia followed by partial nephrectomy.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo cold ischemia followed by partial nephrectomy. Blood and urine samples are collected periodically after nephrectomy to assess renal function.

Patients are followed at 1, 3, 6, 9 , and 12 months after nephrectomy.

Being tested
cold ischemia procedure, warm ischemia procedure
Keywords
perioperative/postoperative complications, urinary complications, long-term effects secondary to cancer therapy in adults, stage I renal cell cancer
Medical subject headings
Kidney Neoplasms, Postoperative Complications, Carcinoma, Renal Cell

What is being measured

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

  1. Creatinine clearance at 1 year

    Measured: at 1 year after nephrectomy.

  2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

    Measured: at 1 year after nephrectomy.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evidence of local or metastatic recurrence

    Measured: at 1 year after nephrectomy.

  2. Cancer-specific survival

    Measured: at 1 year after nephrectomy.

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: at 1 year after nephrectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cold ischemia procedure and warm ischemia procedure in people with Kidney Cancer and Long-term Effects Secondary to Cancer Therapy in Adults, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 8 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?

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 6 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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?

Creatinine clearance at 1 year (time frame: at 1 year after nephrectomy.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Apr 2017.
