Trial summary

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been reported to be an effective treatment approach for peritoneal cancer, however, the stress response to HIPEC is major neuroendocrine and cytokine response, which has been considered as the homeostatic defense mechanism.

About this study

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been reported to be an effective treatment approach for peritoneal cancer, however, the stress response to HIPEC is major neuroendocrine and cytokine response, which has been considered as the homeostatic defense mechanism. Recently, dexmedetomidine has been suggested to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine on inflammation response and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) cytoreductive surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • dexmedetomidineDrug

    Group A: dexmedetomidine infusion (0.4㎍/kg/hr) from anesthetic induction until the start of closure of peritoneum. Group B: Saline infusion during same time period.

  • Normal salineDrug

    Group B: Saline infusion during same time period.

What is being measured

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

  1. IL-6 level

    To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the level of IL-6 in patient undergoing HIPEC, IL-6 level was measured up to 12 hours after surgery.

    Measured: Up to 12 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. recurrence rate

    To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the recurrence rate up to 1 year after surgery were collected.

    Measured: up to 1 year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dexmedetomidine and Normal saline in people with Colon 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 3 inclusion and 13 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 Dec 2019. 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?

IL-6 level (time frame: Up to 12 hours after surgery). 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 Dec 2019.
