About this study

Anesthetics agents has an effect on immune response during the cancer surgery.This influence can regulatory to immune activity or cancer cell survival.

The purpose of this study is to prove the variation of immune cell activity between preoperative and postoperative period.

Read the detailed description

The patients were allocated randomly to receive propofol or sevoflurane. Also, a total of 18ml of blood sample was obtained for total 3 times in consecutive order.

  1. immediate before anesthesia induction
  2. postoperative 1 hours
  3. postoperative 24 hours

Immune cells isolation from patients peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Next, immune cell were co-culture with human cancer cell line (MCF-7) for 24 hours. investigation for immune cell or cancer cell survival by flow cytometry.

What is being measured

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

  1. immune cell (NK cell and CD8+ T cell)

    Patients blood sample are collect up to 24 hours postoperatively. These blood sample are collect in EDTA tube for NK cell and CD8+ T cell isolation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Isolation for NK cell, Ab stain with CD16 and CD56. Also, isolation for CD8+ T cell, Ab stain with CD8, that are purified from PBMCs, using FACSAria according to the manufacturer's protocol. These cell are culture with MCF-7 cancer cell line for 24 hours. After 24h, the degree of apoptosis of NK cell and CD8+ T cell was determined by flow cytometry. Suspension cell is NK cell or CD8+ T cell, these cells were harvest and washed with cell staining buffer. After washing, cell resuspended with Annexin-V binding buffer and stained with FITC-Annexin-V according to the manufacturer's protocol with analysis

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. cancer cell (MCF-7) apoptosis

    Patients blood sample are collect before and 1h after anesthesia induction and at 24h postoperatively. These blood sample are collect in EDTA tube for NK cell and CD8+ T cell isolation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Isolation for NK cell, Ab stain with CD16 and CD56. Also, isolation for CD8+ T cell, Ab stain with CD8, that are purified from PBMCs, using FACSAria according to the manufacturer's protocol. These cell are culture with MCF-7 cancer cell line for 24 hours. After 24h, the degree of apoptosis of cancer cell was determined by flow cytometry. Adherent cell is cancer cell, these cells were harvest and washed with cell staining buffer. After washing, cell resuspended with Annexin-V binding buffer and stained with FITC-Annexin-V according to the manufacturer's protocol with analysis

    Measured: Baseline. postoperative 1 hours and 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane and propofol in people with Breast Cancer, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 25 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 1 site in South Korea. 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.

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?

immune cell (NK cell and CD8+ T cell) (time frame: up to 24 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 NCT02758249, 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 25 Jan 2018.
