Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) (putting a sugar solution into the abdominal cavity) helps blood flow through vital organs in the body that may suffer from low blood flow due to surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation Plus Conventional Resuscitation Versus Conventional Resuscitation Alone in Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection for Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out if direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) (putting a sugar solution into the abdominal cavity) helps blood flow through vital organs in the body that may suffer from low blood flow due to surgery. We will also try to find out if the DPR will help patients recover faster from liver surgery. Lastly, this study will also try to find if direct peritoneal resuscitation decreases levels of signaling chemicals in the blood called 'cytokines' and a protein called high-mobility group protein 1, which is known to cause tissue damage.

Read the detailed description

Our study will focus on 108 patients requiring hepatic resection for colorectal cancer metastasis or primary hepatocellular carcinoma. These patients will then be randomized into two 54 patient arms: the control arm of conventional resuscitation only and the experimental arm of conventional resuscitation with DPR immediately post operatively. Patient exclusion criteria will be: 1) unable to obtain proper consent for enrollment, 2) age less than 18 years or greater than 75 years, 3) chronic renal failure, cirrhosis, or congestive heart failure, 4) patients requiring portal venous embolization prior to resection, or 5) women who are pregnant or lactating/breast feeding. A pregnancy test (urine or blood) will be done for female subjects of child bearing potential the day prior or the morning of surgery per the usual standard of care pre-op labs.

What participants receive

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

  • GalactoseDrug

    After surgery, galactose will be dripped into the belly for up to 24 hours after surgery

  • Standard TreatmentDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Galactose and Standard Treatment in people with Hepatic Cancer, run by University of Louisville at 2 sites in United States.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Morbidity (time frame: Six months). 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 5 May 2017.
