About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Open Versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy

Open versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy (OLLEH) trial Multi-institutional, prospective and randomized trial in patients undergoing left sided hepatectomy through laparoscopic versus open procedure.

Primary endpoint: Functional recovery Secondary endpoint: Hospital duration, estimated blood loss, operation time, resection margin status, postoperative complication, mortality, liver function laboratory test, re-admission, quality of life, cosmesis, cost effectiveness

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy is widely performed for the treatment of various hepatic neoplasms. Many studies have reported that laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy is safe and effective compared with open conventional left-sided hemihepatectomy. However, prospective study is rare and there is no randomized controlled trial.

The surgeons who are affiliated at a medical center in capital area of Korea launched the Open versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy (OLLEH) trial to verify the surgical outcome of laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy.

Laparoscopic surgery has benefits that less wound and less pain. The hypothesis of the study is 'The laparoscopic left-sided hemihepatectomy is better than open surgery from functional recovery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Checklist of functional recovery (Questionnaire, liver function test of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase)

    Checklist of functional recovery

    1. (Questionnaire) Do you want intravenous analgesics for postoperative pain ? (Yes, No)
    2. (Questionnaire) Do you have trouble to ambulate by oneself ? (Yes, No)
    3. (Questionnaire) Do you have trouble to digest solid meal ? (Yes, No)
    4. (Questionnaire) Do you want intravenous fluid to subside your thirsty ? (Yes, No)
    5. (Liver function test) Are serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase increasing ? (Yes, No)
    • Daily check the five item above until every item is 'No'
    • If all of the items are 'No', the patient is regarded as a functionally recovered state.

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Open left-sided hepatectomy and Laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy in people with Neoplasm, Liver, run by Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital 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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2017. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seung Duk Lee, MD (+82-31-920-1709, mmcleemed@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Checklist of functional recovery (Questionnaire, liver function test of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) (time frame: up to 30 days). 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 Jan 2017.
