Trial summary

Gut hypoperfusion - reperfusion injury is an unavoidable event at the end of laparoscopic surgery. It produces oxidative stress (reactive oxygen species). Malondialdehyde have been demonstrated to be a reliable biomarker for the evaluation of oxidative stress in vivo. Read more about this study

About this study

Gut hypoperfusion - reperfusion injury is an unavoidable event at the end of laparoscopic surgery. It produces oxidative stress (reactive oxygen species). Malondialdehyde have been demonstrated to be a reliable biomarker for the evaluation of oxidative stress in vivo. Propofol (2, 6 - diisopropylphenol), a highly liposoluble anaesthetic, has a potent antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation in both in vitron and in vivo studies. On the basis of this knowledge, the investigators hypothesized that propofol has preventive effect for gut hypoperfusion - reperfusion induced injury in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Read the detailed description

Increased intrabdominal pressure is associated with pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic procedures and is one of the main factors in impairment of splanchnic perfusion by compressing vessels. An hypoperfusion - reperfusion human model is observed during and soon after laparoscopic surgery. After deflation of the abdomen, intrabdominal pressure and splanchnic blood flow normalize, representing reperfusion.

Reactive oxygen species is produced in metabolic and physiologic processes, and harmful oxidative reactions may occur in organisms that remove them via enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidative mechanisms.

Propofol (2, 6 - diisopropylphenol), a highly liposoluble anaesthetic, has a potent antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation in both in vitron and in vivo studies. Propofol also attenuates ischemia - reperfusion induced lipid peroxidation in humans. On the basis of this knowledge, we hypothesized that propofol has preventive effect for gut hypoperfusion - reperfusion induced injury in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing propofol in people with Oxidative Stress, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2011. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Amount of Malondialdehyde in plasma (time frame: one day). 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 13 Apr 2011.
