About this study

Official title: Zero Ischemia Laparoscopic Radio Frequency Ablation Assisted Enucleation of Renal Cell Carcinoma With T1a Stage : Clinical Outcomes of a Randomised Controlled Trial

To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of zero ischemia laparoscopic radio frequency ablation assisted enucleation of T1a renal cell carcinoma in comparison with the conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Read the detailed description

Warm ischemic injury is one of the most important factors affecting renal function in partial nephrectomy (PN). Zero ischemia partial nephrectomy technique using renal arterial branch microdissection could protect renal function during surgery, but it requires longer operative time and more blood loss than conventional partial nephrectomy. The technique of zero ischemia laparoscopic radio frequency ablation assisted enucleation of renal cell carcinoma appears to be an alternative that eliminates warm ischemia, preserves the maximal parenchyma and is oncologically safe. Our study was designed to evaluate this technique in comparison with the conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

What participants receive

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

  • zero ischemia laparoscopic RFA assisted TEProcedure or surgery

  • ischemiaProcedure or surgery

    Also called renal artery will be clamped during surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. the absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney

    12 months minus baseline

    Measured: baseline and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. estimated GFR (eGFR)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. changes in GFR of total kidneys by renal scintigraphyby

    Measured: baseline and 12 months

  3. blood loss

    Measured: during surgery

  4. surgical margin

    pathologic confirm of surgical margin

    Measured: postoperative

  5. postoperative complications

    Measured: 12 months

  6. progression-free survival

    Measured: 12 months

  7. local recurrence

    Measured: 12 months

  8. the absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney

    6 months minus baseline

    Measured: baseline and 6 months

  9. estimated GFR (eGFR) of 6 month

    Measured: 6 month

  10. changes in GFR of total kidneys by renal scintigraphyby of 6 month

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing zero ischemia laparoscopic RFA assisted TE and ischemia in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Zero Ischemia, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yiran Huang, M.D. (86-13501835219, yrhuangrenji@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney (time frame: baseline and 12 months). 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 NCT01838720, 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 13 Aug 2014.
