Trial summary

Live kidney transplantation is first choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Therefore, the safety and well-being of kidneys donors are highly important objectives in live kidney donation. Low pressure pneumoperitoneum can decrease postoperative pain and therefore also concomitant use of opioids. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Deep Versus Moderate Neuromuscular Block - in Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum - to Optimize the Surgical Conditions During Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy

Live kidney transplantation is first choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Therefore, the safety and well-being of kidneys donors are highly important objectives in live kidney donation. Low pressure pneumoperitoneum can decrease postoperative pain and therefore also concomitant use of opioids.

Read the detailed description

However low pressure pneumoperitoneum can also decrease peri-operative conditions. In this trial the researchers will investigate whether peri-operative conditions during low pressure pneumoperitoneum can be optimized by the use of deep neuromuscular block.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Conversion to standard pressure pneumoperitoneum

    Measured: perioperative

  2. Intra-operative complications

    Measured: perioperative

  3. Length of pneumoperitoneum

    Measured: perioperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Deep neuromsucular block in people with Nephrostomy; Complications and Pneumoperitoneum, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Mean surgical rating score (time frame: perioperative). 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 NCT02602964, which also lists 2 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 4 Apr 2016.
