About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Perioperative Residual Adrenal Function After Extended Multivisceral Resection for Primary Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcomas: a Prospective Observational Study

Early recognition of adrenal function deficit in patients undergoing multivisceral surgery including adrenalectomy for primitive retroperitoneal sarcomas

Read the detailed description

The extended multivisceral resection of retroperitoneum is the standard treatment for primary retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas. This procedure also includes the removal of the healthy adrenal gland ipsilateral to the tumor site.

The investigators think that a such extended surgical approach together with the removal of the adrenal gland may lead to a state of acute adrenal insufficiency and related hemodynamic instability.

In order to recognize this condition the investigators use a low dose ACTH test (Synacthen test) during the 1° and 10° post-operative days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Cortisol peak after low dose Synachten stimulation test.

    Assessment of early postoperative acute adrenal dysfunction.

    Measured: 1st postoperative day

  2. Serum Cortisol peak after low dose Synachten stimulation test.

    Assessment of postoperative acute adrenal dysfunction.

    Measured: 10th postoperative day

  3. Serum Cortisol peak after low dose Synachten stimulation test.

    Assessment of postoperative chronic adrenal dysfunction.

    Measured: 4 months after surgery (only if test positive on 10th postoperative day)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative morbidity

    Correlation between morbidity according to Clavien-Dindo and postoperative adrenal dysfunction

    Measured: 30th postoperative day

  2. Vasoactive inotropic score

    Correlation between intra- and postoperative usage of vasoactive drugs and postoperative adrenal dysfunction

    Measured: Intraoperatively and up to 3rd postoperative day

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?

Serum Cortisol peak after low dose Synachten stimulation test. (time frame: 1st postoperative day). The study lists 3 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 NCT04225494, which also lists 6 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.
