Trial summary

Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury is known to be associated with immediate and long-term kidney dysfunction after renal transplantation. Protecting the kidney against I/R injury and maintaining renal function during renal transplant surgery is therefore very important in order to improve post-operative… Read more about this study

About this study

Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury is known to be associated with immediate and long-term kidney dysfunction after renal transplantation. Protecting the kidney against I/R injury and maintaining renal function during renal transplant surgery is therefore very important in order to improve post-operative outcome. This purpose of this study is to investigate whether propofol anesthesia done in both kidney donors and recipients during deceased brain dead donor kidney transplantation is effective in reducing renal I/R injury via its antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties and improve post-transplant outcome compared to desflurane anesthesia.

Being tested
Desflurane balanced anesthesia, Propofol total intravenous anesthesia

What participants receive

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

  • Desflurane balanced anesthesiaDrug

    Desflurane balanced anesthesia induced with thiopental sodium, remifentanil and atracurium and maintained with remifentanil target controlled infusion and desflurane inhalation

  • Propofol total intravenous anesthesiaDrug

    Propofol total intravenous anesthesia induced with propofol, remifentanil and atracurium and maintained with remifentanil and propofol target controlled infusion

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference in inflammatory markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (CRP, WBC differential count, IL-6, TGF-β)

    1. Kidney donor: Inflammatory markers are evaluated immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction
    2. Kidney recipient: (1) Inflammatory markers: Immediately after anesthesia induction, 2 and 24 hours after reperfusion (2) Renal function markers: Before anesthesia, 2 hours after reperfusion, immediate post-op, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

    Measured: Inflammatory markers are evelauted immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The difference in renal function of kidney recipients between groups after renal transplantation (BUN/Cr, cystatin C, NGAL)

    1. Kidney donor: Inflammatory markers are evaluated immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction
    2. Kidney recipient: (1) Inflammatory markers: Immediately after anesthesia induction, 2 and 24 hours after reperfusion (2) Renal function markers: Before anesthesia, 2 hours after reperfusion, immediate post-op, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

    Measured: immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane balanced anesthesia and Propofol total intravenous anesthesia in people with 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 11 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 17 Aug 2016. 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?

The difference in inflammatory markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (CRP, WBC differential count, IL-6, TGF-β) (time frame: Inflammatory markers are evelauted immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction). 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 17 Aug 2016.
