About this study

Official title: Does Hounsfield Unit (HU) Predict the Detection of Cystic Renal Malignancy of Complicated Renal Cysts?

The aim of this study was to show additional diagnostic criteria of computed tomography (CT) scan to diagnose and predict the detection and recurrence of cystic renal cell carcinoma in the patients with complicated renal cysts. Furthermore, we would demonstrate the relationship between complicated renal cysts diagnosed by Bosniak system and some parameters of pathological results. The analysis about detection time of renal malignancy would help determine the practical guidelines of follow-up plan for complicated renal cysts.

Read the detailed description

Even though there have been many trials and errors to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of CT scans for complicated cysts, the trial to obtain the enhanced accuracy using CT scan would be still valuable, when we consider its widespread use. A previous study demonstrated that the enhancement of HU with intravenous administration of contrast material on CT scan by 15 HU would be "almost always indicative of a pathologic process although not always a malignancy", another study showed the cut-off as 42 or 47 HU gap would be helpful in the prediction of renal malignancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. additional diagnostic criteria of CT to diagnose and predict the detection and recurrence of cystic RCC in the patients with complicated renal cysts

    First, the primary outcomes is to determine cut-off values of maximal HU and the maximal gap of HU (HU of early excretory phase minus that of non-enhanced phase in CT scan)to predict the detection of renal malignancy. Some clinical factors (age, height, body weight, etc) were also included in the analysis.

    Second, the above-mentioned factors were included in the analysis of risk factors for recurrence of complicated renal cysts to determine the cut-off values.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. informative to determine the time of operation and which is better for a patient with a complicated cyst between partial or radical nephrectomy

    The cut-off values would show a guideline to determine the time of operation for a patient with complicated renal cysts, namely, the nephrectomy should be performed earlier if the patient is included in the high-risk group. Furthermore, the cut-off value would be helpful in the determination in what operation would be proper to the patient. A partial nephrectomy would be more beneficial to every patient than radical nephrectomy, however, if the patient is in the high-risk group for early recurrence, the patient should undergo 'radical' nephrectomy first for complicated renal cysts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Neoplasm and Cysts, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 15 Mar 2010. 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 South Korea. 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?

additional diagnostic criteria of CT to diagnose and predict the detection and recurrence of cystic RCC in the patients with complicated renal cysts. 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 NCT01087060, 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 15 Mar 2010.
