About this study

Official title: Immunomodulatory Effects of Volatile and Total Intravenous Anesthesia for Patients With Renal Cancer

The aim of the study is a comparative study of the cellular immunity response of patients operated on for kidney cancer under total intravenous and inhalational anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The severity of perioperative immunosuppression is directly proportional to the degree of surgical stress. A series of experimental and clinical studies indicate a different effect of certain types of anesthesia on immunity. It is believed that surgical stress itself opens an opportunity for the recurrence of oncological diseases precisely due to the immunosuppressive effect. The aim of present pilot clinical study is to test a hypothesis that total intravenous anesthesia as superior to inhalational anesthesia in term of its effects on cell immunity among patients with kidney cancer.

Being tested
Propofol, Sevoflurane, Epidural block

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol, Sevoflurane and Epidural block in people with Surgery and Renal Cancer, run by Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation at 1 site in Russia.

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 7 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 3 Jun 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 Russia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

CD 16 (time frame: postoperative day 1). 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 3 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
