Trial summary

Intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide may affect the sympathetic activity that leads to changes in ventricular re-polarization. This in turn can result in changes of heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval. Ramosetron is a 5-hydroxytryptamine three receptor antagonist and widely used anti-emetics. Read more about this study

About this study

Intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide may affect the sympathetic activity that leads to changes in ventricular re-polarization. This in turn can result in changes of heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval. Ramosetron is a 5-hydroxytryptamine three receptor antagonist and widely used anti-emetics. However, QTc interval prolongation has been observed in a number of patients after administration of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ramosetron on QTc interval and possible cardiovascular adverse effects during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with steep Trendelenburg position.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ramosetron on QTc interval and possible cardiovascular adverse effects during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with steep Trendelenburg position. Fifty-six patients, aged more than 19 years, undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy will be divided into ramosetron group (n=28) and control group (n=28). Randomly selected patients of the ramoseton group are given a 0.3 mg of ramosetron after induction. In contrast, patients in the control group are given the same volume of normal saline after induction and given a 0.3 mg of ramosetron after measurement of QTc interval. The primary endpoint is the difference in maximal change of QTc interval between groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: Before induction of anesthesia in the supine position (Baseline)

  2. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: 10 minutes after tracheal intubation (Intu-10 min.)

  3. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: immediately after steep Trendelenburg position with CO2 pneumoperitoneum (T-on)

  4. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: 30 minutes after steep Trendelenburg position with CO2 pneumoperitoneum (T-30 min)

  5. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: 60 minutes after steep Trendelenburg position with CO2 pneumoperitoneum (T-60 min)

  6. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: 90 minutes after steep Trendelenburg position with CO2 pneumoperitoneum (T-90 min)

  7. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: immediately after a supine position with CO2 desufflation (T-off)

  8. Maximum change of QTc interval

    Maximum change of QTc interval from continuous ECG monitoring in lead V5 were collected by using the LabChart software.

    Measured: at the end of surgery (Surgery end)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ramosetron and Normal saline in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Yonsei University 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 2 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 Aug 2020. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Maximum change of QTc interval (time frame: Before induction of anesthesia in the supine position (Baseline)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03232125, which also lists 3 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 25 Aug 2020.
