About this study

Official title: Pneumoperitoneum Preconditioning for the Prevention of Renal Function After Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: a Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

The present study is designed to investigate the short-term and long-term renoprotective role of pneumoperitoneum preconditioning in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Read the detailed description

Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable event in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), which can obviously affect the post-operational renal function. Pneumoperitoneum preconditioning (PP) is a promising strategy to render a protective effect on kidney, which has been already confirmed in some clinical settings. This study is designed as a randomized, prospective, double-blind and parallel controlled clinical trial to assess the short-term and long-term renoprotective role of pneumoperitoneum preconditioning in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and observe its effect on the other abdominal organs. Patients with renal tunours and willing to accept elective LPN will be screened as eligible participants. The investigators aim to enroll 86 subjects. Patients randomized to the treatment arm will receive PP consisted of three cycles of 5 min insufflation and 5 min desufflation before PLN, while the control arm receive a sham operation.

What participants receive

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

  • Pneumoperitoneum preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Pneumoperitoneum preconditioning consists of three cycles of 5 min insufflation and 5 min desufflation, after complete anesthesia and successfully implanting the veress. This process will be induced by pneumoperitoneum machine, and the utilized gas will be carbon dioxide to maintain the intra-abdominal pressure at 15 mmHg. The whole duration will last 30 min.

  • Sham-Pneumoperitoneum preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Sham-Pneumoperitoneum preconditioning consists of three cycles without insufflation and subsequent desufflation. The whole duration will also last 30 min.

What is being measured

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

  1. The absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

    Unilateral and overall GFR detected by 99mTc-DTPA renal scintigraphy.

    Measured: changes from baseline and postoperative 1, 6 months

  2. The absolute change in the level of serum Cystatin C (Cys C)

    The absolute change in the level of serum Cys C after desufflation.

    Measured: changes from baseline and 12, 24, 48 hours after desufflation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The level of serum creatinine (SCr)

    The absolute change in the level of serum SCr after desufflation.

    Measured: Baseline; 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 6 months after desufflation

  2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

    eGFR will be calculated by a combined formula.

    Measured: Baseline; 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 6 months after desufflation

  3. The level of alanine transaminase (ALT)

    Serum markers for detecting the insults of the liver.

    Measured: Baseline; 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 6 months after desufflation

  4. The level of serum amylase

    Serum markers for detecting the insults of the pancreas.

    Measured: Baseline; 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 6 months after desufflation

  5. The level of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)

    Serum markers for detecting the insults of the intestine.

    Measured: Baseline; 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 6 months after desufflation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pneumoperitoneum preconditioning in people with Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 3 Oct 2022. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ruipeng Jia, MD, PHD (+86-02552271061, urojiarp@njmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (time frame: changes from baseline and postoperative 1, 6 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT03822338, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
