About this study

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of nicardipine on renal function with creatinine clearance, serum cystatin C, urine output and fractional excretion of sodium during deliberate hypotension for spine surgery.

Read the detailed description

To induce deliberate hypotension, pharmacological agents such as inhalation anesthetics, calcium channel blockers, beta-adrenergic blockers have been used alone or in combination. Nicardipine, classed as a calcium channel blocker, has a peripheral vasodilator effect via relaxation of smooth muscle fiber and sympathetic nerve inhibition. Nicardipine expands the renal artery and increases glomerular filtration rate. Previous studies reported the renal protective effect of nicardipine in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of nicardipine on renal function with creatinine clearance , serum cystatin C, urine output and fractional excretion of sodium during deliberate hypotension for spine surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. creatinine clearance

    Measured: after deliberate hypotension, and POD1

  2. serum cystatin C

    Measured: before deliberate hypotension, after deliberate hypotension, and POD1

  3. urine output

    Measured: after deliberate hypotension, and POD1

  4. fractional excretion of sodium

    Measured: before deliberate hypotension, after deliberate hypotension, and POD1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Risk, injury, failure, loss, and end stage renal disease (RIFLE) criteria

    Measured: before deliberate hypotension, after deliberate hypotension, and POD1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nicardipine in people with Spinal Stenosis, run by Yonsei University.

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 7 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 23 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

creatinine clearance (time frame: after deliberate hypotension, and POD1). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Oct 2014.
