Trial summary

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained popularity in medicine over the last decade. Once 3D printers have become more affordable, the true strength of this technique has been recognized because of its ability to obtain anatomical models based on the unique characteristics of each patient.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Complex liver tumors (bilobar disease, infiltration of suprahepatic veins or requiring two-time resection or intrahepatic vascular reconstruction).
  • Preoperatively was performed, a CT scan and / or MRI of all patients were performed to document the tumor distribution, estimate remaining liver volume, and identify tumor-vessel relationships in order to know the intraoperative vascular anatomy.

About this study

Official title: Single Arm Trial of Applicability of 3D Printing and 3D Digital Image Reconstruction in the Planning of Complex Liver Surgery.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained popularity in medicine over the last decade. Once 3D printers have become more affordable, the true strength of this technique has been recognized because of its ability to obtain anatomical models based on the unique characteristics of each patient. Liver resections are challenging operations because of the complex nature of the liver and venous anatomy within the liver, so 3D imaging is a promising new tool for surgical planning.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical planing

    Number of Participants susceptible of complex liver surgery as assessed by 3D printing and 3D digital image reconstruction, change from the baseline to the surgical strategy

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Teaching for students and residents

    Number of students where 3D models of digital printing and images reconstructed in 3D by using a questionnaire improve understanding about the location of lesions, liver anatomy and planning of surgery

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Understanding of surgery by the patient

    Number of patient who understand better liver disease and surgery strategy

    Measured: 1day

Individual data sharing
Yes: Good practice principles include: (i) the use of a controlled access approach, using a transparent and robust system to review requests and provide secure data access; (ii) seeking consent for sharing IPD from trial participants in all future clinical trials with adequate assurance that patient privacy and confidentiality can be maintained; and (iii) establishing an approach to resource the sharing of IPD which would include support from trial funders, sponsor organisations and users of IPD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D PRINTING in people with Liver Diseases and Surgery, run by Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 31 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Victor Lopez Lopez, FEA (+34637519516, victorrelopez@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surgical planing (time frame: 2 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 31 Jan 2018.
