Trial summary

Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is the major cause of early renal dysfunction and acute renal failure of the transplanted kidney after renal transplantation. In 1986, Murry et al. described the phenomenon "ischemic preconditioning". Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Preconditioning Effect of Desflurane and Antiapoptotic Effect of Propofol in Patients With Kidney Transplantation

Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is the major cause of early renal dysfunction and acute renal failure of the transplanted kidney after renal transplantation. In 1986, Murry et al. described the phenomenon "ischemic preconditioning". Also, it was reported that a few non-ischemic stimuli could provide cellular tolerance against major ischemia through a mechanism similar to ischemic preconditioning. In an animal study, 1 minimal alveolar concentration of volatile anesthetics - a clinically relevant concentration - was reported to have a protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury, the effect being variable between types of anesthetics. Also, there were somm reports that intravenous anesthetics such as propofol could reduce IR injury by decreasing oxidative stress and apoptosis.

By reducing the ischemia/reperfusion injury of the grafted kidney, the morbidity and mortality related to renal transplantation can be reduced as well. The objective of this study is to find out whether, according to the type of anesthetics (Desflurane vs. Propofol), there is a difference in the protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury of the grafted kidney in patients receiving renal transplantation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DesfluraneDrug

    In Desflurane group, donors and their recipients will be anesthetized with desflurane and remifentanil. In contrast, in Propofol group, donors will be anesthetized with Propofol and remifentanil and recipients will be anesthetized with desflurane and remifentanil.

  • PropofolDrug

    In Desflurane group, donors and their recipients will be anesthetized with desflurane and remifentanil. In contrast, in Propofol group, donors will be anesthetized with Propofol and remifentanil and recipients will be anesthetized with desflurane and remifentanil.

What is being measured

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

  1. BUN(Blood Urea Nitrogen)

    The primary outcome of our study is to find out whether, according to donors' anesthetics (desflurane or propofol), there is a difference in grafted kidney function postoperatively.

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

  2. Cr density

    The primary outcome of our study is to find out whether, according to donors' anesthetics (desflurane or propofol), there is a difference in grafted kidney function postoperatively.

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

  3. estimated GFR(Glomerular Filtration Ratio)

    The primary outcome of our study is to find out whether, according to donors' anesthetics (desflurane or propofol), there is a difference in grafted kidney function postoperatively.

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

  4. urine output to check the the degree of protection for renal function

    The primary outcome of our study is to find out whether, according to donors' anesthetics (desflurane or propofol), there is a difference in grafted kidney function postoperatively.

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane and Propofol in people with Healthy and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Yonsei University 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 5 Mar 2014. 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.

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?

BUN(Blood Urea Nitrogen) (time frame: 1 hour after surgery). The study lists 4 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 5 Mar 2014.
