Trial summary

It is well established that the resistance to the effects of insulin on glucose metabolism develops with a lot of stress hormone release after surgical trauma. This condition is known as insulin resistance (IR) characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and lactic acidosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of COX-2 Selective Inhibitors on Postoperative Insulin Resistance, Tramadol PCA and Early Postoperative Enteral Nutrition in Patients After Gastrointestinal Laparoscopic Surgery

It is well established that the resistance to the effects of insulin on glucose metabolism develops with a lot of stress hormone release after surgical trauma. This condition is known as insulin resistance (IR) characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and lactic acidosis. Surgical IR not only affect glucose metabolism but also influence protein synthesis, then further exacerbate the depletion of the carbohydrate, fat and protein.

Postoperative pain is a challenging task for patients and surgeons, and it is part of the stress response to trauma and surgery, while the fear of pain can exacerbate the stress response.

The main aim of this study was to invest whether effective postoperative analgesia can reduce the stress response and insulin resistance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Insulin resistance in perioperative period of gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery

    Measured: 5 days after operation

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. The consumption of total and incremental tramadol after surgery.

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  2. The tolerated dose of enteral nutrition every day after surgery

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  3. Postoperative inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-6 and TNF-α) and levels of stress hormone (glucocorticoids and catecholamines) in perioperative period of gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  4. Rest energy metabolism was measured in perioperative period to evaluate the caloric and substrate needs of our patients

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  5. The time of the first bowel movements and anal exhaust time after surgery

    Measured: 5 days after operation or more

  6. Pain intensity at rest and during leg raising recorded daily after surgery using Visible Numeric Rating Scale

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  7. Incidence of adverse events throughout the treatment period including nausea, vomiting, headache, urinary retention, somnolence, flatulence, and pruritus

    Measured: 5 days after operation or more

  8. Liver and renal function tests in perioperative period

    Measured: 5 days after operation

  9. Self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating questionnaire for depression before surgery

    Measured: 1 day before surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing parecoxib in people with Gastrointestinal Cancer, run by Jinling Hospital, China 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 5 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 10 Nov 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Wengcheng Kong, MD (15850722032, wenchengkong@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Insulin resistance in perioperative period of gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery (time frame: 5 days after operation). 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 NCT01930318, 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 10 Nov 2014.
