About this study

Investigators aimed to estimate the effect of showing and handling a three-dimensional modelization of a patient's kidney presenting with tumor the day before his nephron-sparing surgery. The main outcome measure was the effect on anxiety assessed via the STAI score. 2 types kidney models (virtual and printed) will be evaluated as compared to usual information, using a randomization.

Read the detailed description

Announcement of serious illnesses and especially cancerous diseases has major impacts on one's psychological field. Need of surgery can create even other fears due to its unknown nature. Use of tools to decrease anxiety and enhance understanding prior to surgery is a key point in comprehensive care that is way not enough promoted for now. In the field of surgery, available methods to deal with pre-operative anxiety are massively represented by anxiolytics drugs, only few other devices were evaluated.

Technological development in healthcare has seen the rising of three-dimensional media, especially in surgery, for procedure planning. There is no doubt that this tool is effective in helping surgeons regarding the studies published within the past few years but there is no such evidence concerning the benefit for patients. Some authors report improvement of patients understanding and great satisfaction referring to the usefulness of this tool. But none of these papers evaluated anxiety.

The goal of our research is to measure the effect of a personalized three-dimensional model of patients' kidney on pre-operative anxiety.

For this purpose investigators will randomly assign a total of 66 patients planned to have a nephron-sparing surgery for kidney tumor in 3 different groups. Inside the 2 interventional groups, patients' kidneys will be modelized in three dimensions, one group will then be 3D-printed.

The third group will be control with usual preoperative information. The day before surgery, 3D models will be presented to their respective owner. All patients will have to complete a survey evaluating their anxiety level and also their understanding of renal anatomy and surgical procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Anxiety, renal anatomy and surgery questionnairesOther

    The day before surgery, all the patients will be visited by a member of the investigator team for preoperative consultation and will be given a questionnaire evaluating their anxiety based on STAI and VAS scores. The two experimental groups will be offered their renal modelization to be manipulated (virtually or physically) before the questionnaire.

    A second survey assessing basic renal anatomy and surgery understanding will also be completed by the patients.

    Anxiolytics prescription prior to surgery will be collected inside the medical file.

What is being measured

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

  1. State-anxiety score of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire

    Min : 20 = few anxiety Max : 80 = severe anxiety

    Measured: The day before renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion

  2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for anxiety

    Min : 0 = no anxiety Max : 10 = maximum anxiety

    Measured: The day before renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Renal anatomy and surgical strategies questionnaire score

    Renal anatomy : min/max = 0/13, higher values represent a better understanding Surgical strategies : min/max = 0/7, higher values represent a better understanding

    Measured: The day before renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion

  2. Anxiolytics prescription before surgery

    Measured: The day before renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion

  3. Pain numeric scale score

    Min : 0 = no pain Max : 10 = maximum pain

    Measured: The day after renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anxiety, renal anatomy and surgery questionnaires in people with Kidney Neoplasms and Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2020. 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 France. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

State-anxiety score of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire (time frame: The day before renal surgery, up to 1 month after inclusion). 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?
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 27 Jan 2020.
