About this study

Official title: Comparison of Plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase - Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Levels After Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Versus Retropubic Radical Prostatectomy

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of two surgical techniques (open vs robotic assisted) on plasma levels of NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) after radical prostatectomy.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing radical prostatectomy are at increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) because of intraoperative bleeding, obstructive uropathy and older age. In particular robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) which is in increasing demand as an alternative surgical option for retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) is associated with postoperative renal dysfunction because pneumoperitoneum during RALP can decrease cardiac output and renal perfusion. NGAL may become important for diagnosis of postoperative AKI after urogenital oncosurgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatectomy, run by Antalya Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 19 Dec 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Plasma NGAL (time frame: 0 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours after surgery). 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 NCT03607279, which also lists 2 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 19 Dec 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
