Trial summary

Various stimuli such as trauma, infection and major surgery may alter the physiologic immune balance and initiate systemic inflammatory processes. This pathophysiological event is characterized by the release of potent inflammatory mediators into the circulation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Volume Replacement With HES 130/0.4 Attenuates Inflammatory Response to Major Abdominal Surgery Compared to Ringer's Lactate (RL); the Effect on Cytokines and Matrix Metalloproteinases

Various stimuli such as trauma, infection and major surgery may alter the physiologic immune balance and initiate systemic inflammatory processes. This pathophysiological event is characterized by the release of potent inflammatory mediators into the circulation.

Among these, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 or IL-10, ICAM-1 play a dominant role as local or systemic regulators in the acute inflammatory response. Recent studies have also investigated the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the inflammatory response. The MMPs constitute a family of enzymes that are structurally related neutral proteinases. MMPs can degrade essentially all extracellular matrix (ECM) components and play an important role in wound healing and remodeling of the ECM. The Tissutal Inhibitor MetalloProteine (TIMPs) are important regulator of MMPs activity.

The inflammatory response coming of surgery mainly affects surgical patients' outcome. Many factors may attributed to this response, such as the kind of operation, the extent of surgical trauma, the patient's medical history and therapy, as well as the type of anesthesia used. Apart from that, the kind of fluids administered for volume replacement was revealed to alter the inflammatory processes. Several studies have addressed on this issue mainly involved abdominal surgery and provided compelling evidence that perioperative fluid optimization produces benefits for the patient, with regard to inflammatory biomarkers such as cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases, intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1). They support that the different volume replacement strategies, using only crystalloids or combination of crystalloids with colloids (HES 130/0,4), may have important impact on immune response. However, the relevant studies investigated different inflammatory biomarkers, and usually involved either metalloproteinases, and their inhibitors (TIMPs) or cytokines.

In our study we investigated the hypothesis that intra- and postoperative volume replacement with HES attenuates inflammatory response to elective abdominal surgery compared to RL fluid therapy. For this purpose both metalloproteinases, MMP-9, MMP-13, their inhibitor, TIMP-1, cytokines, IL-6, IL-8 and the intercellular adhesion molecule-1, ICAM-1 were investigated postoperatively. Their changes during the first 24 postoperative hours consisted our primary outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ringer's Lactate and HES 130/0.4 and Ringer's Lactate in people with Postoperative Inflammation, run by Paraskevi Matsota at 1 site in Greece.

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 13 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 15 Jul 2013. 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 Greece. 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?

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?

Measurement of inflammatory biomarkers (MMP-9, MMP-13, TIMP-1, IL-6, IL-8 ICAM-1) in abdominal surgery. (time frame: 24 hours postoperatively). 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 15 Jul 2013.
