About this study

Official title: The Use of Two Modern Hydroxyethyl Starch Solutions in Major Urological Procedures: Effect on Acid-Base Status and Renal Functions

This study compares the effect of infusion of two types of modern hydroxyethyl starch on the renal function and acid-base in patients undergoing urologic surgery.

Being tested
6% HES 130/0.4 in NaCl 0.9% (Voluven, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Hom-bourg, Germany), Tetraspan, B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany

What participants receive

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

Receives: Drug: Tetraspan, B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative volume replacement therapy

    volume of the study drug in milliliters that will be needed for hemodynamic stabilization until the end of surgery (ie, the cumulative volume of the study drug in milliliters administered up to this time point).

    Measured: From randomization, for the duration of surgery and up to transfer from the operating room to the ICU or recovery room, an expected average of 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acid base and Renal function

    differences in the plasma creatinine concentrations and acid-base homeostasis among the study groups

    Measured: 24 hours after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 6% HES 130/0.4 in NaCl 0.9% (Voluven, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Hom-bourg, Germany) and Tetraspan, B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany in people with Urologic Surgical Procedures, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 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 22 Aug 2012. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Amr Hussein, MSc (01069338998 ext. +2, amrhussein1981@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraoperative volume replacement therapy (time frame: From randomization, for the duration of surgery and up to transfer from the operating room to the ICU or recovery room, an expected average of 6 hours). 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 NCT01670604, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 22 Aug 2012.
