About this study

Official title: Inflammatory Cytokines Profile in Individuals Subjected to Surgical Procedures Using Propofol or Isoflurane.

The aim of this study is to assess the profile of cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and TNF-alpha under inhalation anesthesia with isoflurane and intravenous anesthesia with propofol in healthy patients subjected to minimally invasive elective surgeries.

Read the detailed description

Twenty ASA-I patients, subjected to otorhinolaryngology surgery, were randomly allocated in one group to receive anesthesia with isoflurane 1 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) (n = 20). Other group with twenty ASA-I patients received propofol 2 to 4 microgram mL-1 (n = 20).

Fentanyl 5 mg kg-1 and rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg kg-1 were also administered to all patients. Venous blood (10 mL) was collected from each patient at each of the following times: before the beginning of surgery and anesthesia (T1), 2 h after the beginning of surgery (T2), and on the day after the anesthetic-surgical procedure (T3).

Plasma concentrations of interleukins IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) were measured in each sample through flow cytometry technique by using the method Cytometric Bead Array (CBA). Venous blood samples from fifteen volunteers not subjected to stress were also collected as control, and the same cytokines were measured.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: Before surgery and anesthesia, 2h after anesthesia and at the following day of the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines

    Measured: before surgery and anesthesia, 2h after anesthesia and at the following day of the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol and isoflurane in people with Patients in Good Health, run by UPECLIN HC FM Botucatu Unesp at 1 site in Brazil.

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 27 Apr 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Evaluation of cytokines profile (time frame: Before surgery and anesthesia, 2h after anesthesia and at the following day of the surgery). 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 NCT01111227, 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 27 Apr 2010.
