About this study
Official title: Phase IV, Multicentric, Prospective, Controlled, Randomized, Double Blind Study Comparing a Crystalloid to a Colloid Used in the Perioperatory Hemodynamic Optimisation With a 'Closed Loop' Automatic Filling System, on the Post-surgery Morbidity in Major Abdominal Surgery.
Study goal: This study will examine whether there is a significant difference in postoperative outcomes between GDFT using a colloid solution versus a crystalloid solution.
Hypothesis: Perioperative fluid optimization through the use of a closed-loop assistance with a balanced starch solution (volulyte®) will be associated with a decrease in postoperative complications compared to the same approach using a balanced crystalloid solution (Plasmalyte®).
Objective: To establish which kind of intravenous fluid used for goal directed therapy with closed-loop assistance will reduce the number of postoperative complications (evaluation made by the POMS score).
Read the detailed description
Controversy still persists regarding the type of fluid to use in the operating room to avoid hypovolemia and any circulatory insufficiency. While crystalloids and colloid solutions are frequently used to optimize intravascular volume during surgery, crystalloid solutions require more volume for hemodynamic optimization which may result in higher volumes of fluid administration and potentially side effects. Compared with crystalloids, colloids have the advantages of remaining in the intravascular space longer, achieving faster circulatory stabilization, maintaining colloid osmotic pressure and increasing micro perfusion. However, colloids are more expensive and may have various side effects.
In addition to the effect of crystalloids and colloids on the patient, the amount of each fluid administered is also under debate. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) strategies based on cardiac output (CO) optimization have been shown to benefit moderate- to high-risk surgery patients and have recently been recommended by professional societies in the UK, in France, and in Europe. However, despite the growing evidence, these strategies are often not implemented in current practice. One of the reasons for this lack of implementation is that GDFT strategies, like any other complex clinical protocol, require significant provider attention and vigilance for consistent implementation and it is well known that even under study conditions protocol compliance rates are often not greater than 50% In another hand, one of the chief complicating factors in fluid administration studies is variation in provider administration practices, even when attempting to follow a protocol. Previous studies have used closed-loop (automated) systems to deliver fluid by a standardized protocol, removing variation between providers as one of the confounders of the study. Dr. Cannesson and Rinehart (UC Irvine, California, USA) have recently developed and used a closed-loop system for the provision of GDFT in clinical studies at UC Irvine and La Pitie hospital in France. The closed-loop system is beneficial because it involves the standardization of fluid management and all patients are treated equivalently. This system will thus provide consistent GDFT for all cases in the protocol and remove inter-provider variability as a confounder between groups.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Volulyte | Experimental | A baseline crystalloid infusion (plasmalyte®) will be set by the attending physician at 3 cc/kg/hr (standard patient care) for each of the randomized groups. The patient will receive fluid management via a closed loop (automated) system that will use an infusion pump (Q-Core) and a controller (a computer run index and algorithm developed by Sironis) to standardize the way fluids are administered intra-operatively and eliminate variation between clinical providers.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Study goal: This study will examine whether there is a significant difference in postoperative outcomes between GDFT using a colloid solution versus a crystalloid solution.
Hypothesis: Perioperative fluid optimization through the use of a closed-loop assistance with a balanced starch solution (volulyte®) will be associated with a decrease in postoperative complications compared to the same approach using a balanced crystalloid solution (Plasmalyte®).
Objective: To establish which kind of intravenous fluid used for goal directed therapy with closed-loop assistance will reduce the number of postoperative complications (evaluation made by the POMS score).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Plasmalyte and Volulyte in people with Surgery, run by Brugmann University Hospital at 2 sites in Belgium.
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 2 inclusion and 9 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 19 Jan 2018. 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 Belgium. 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?
POMS score (time frame: 48 hours). 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 NCT02312999, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 19 Jan 2018.
