About this study

Official title: Mansoura Enhanced Recovery Open Versus Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy (MEnROL): A Randomized Controlled Trial

A phase III randomized trial conducted to compare recovery outcomes between laparoscopic and open donor nephrectomy within a specified enhanced recovery protocol

Read the detailed description

The MEnROL trial is a phase III randomized controlled trial of Open versus Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy within a standardized enhanced recovery program. Eligible donors were randomized in a 1:1 ratio.

Laparoscopic procedures are performed by a single surgeon (AMM) while Open donor nephrectomies (ODN) were performed by an experienced team that included the laparoscopic surgeon. ODN were performed via a supracostal incision above the 11th rib and an extra-pleural extra-peritoneal approach was adopted. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) was performed via a standard 4-port distribution. Control of the hilar vessels was performed using extra-large Hem-o-Lok clips (Weck- Covidien, Research Triangle Park, NC) and graft extraction was performed via a pre-prepared Pfannenstiel incision.

Donors are enrolled in our enhanced recovery program for donor nephrectomy. The program was compliant with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Group (ERAS) guidelines. All donors receive epidural analgesia and are maintained on non-narcotic postoperative analgesics. Criteria for hospital discharge include ambulation, adequate pain control with oral analgesics, and sustained intake of solid food.

Being tested
Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, Open donor nephrectomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and Open donor nephrectomy in people with Renal Transplant Donor of Left Kidney, run by Mansoura 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 Mar 2016. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Donor recovery as evaluated by the physical fatigue domain of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory 20 (MFI-20), (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 4 Mar 2016.
