About this study

Official title: The Bern Perioperative Biobank to Define Perioperative Changes of Molecular Markers of Perioperative Organo-dysfunctions, Inflammation, Adverse Events and Disease Progression

The goal of the research is to define clinically relevant molecular markers for increased risk of peri-/ postoperative organo-dysfunctions, inflammation, adverse events and disease progression. To better understand the perioperative impact the investigators aim to determine perioperative levels of molecular markers over time in the available samples and clinical data of the Bern perioperative Biobank (BPBB) cohort to finally increase quality of perioperative care of patients by permitting preventive measures to be taken early in patients at risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessing the change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting

    Surgery causes significant disruption of physiologic metabolism. The investigators currently lack specific markers to assess change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting. The investigators aim to identify metabolic markers and their change in the perioperative period in association with patients' clinical outcome.

    Measured: Before induction of anesthesia as baseline

  2. Assessing the change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting

    Surgery causes significant disruption of physiologic metabolism. The investigators currently lack specific markers to assess change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting. The investigators aim to identify metabolic markers and their change in the perioperative period in association with patients' clinical outcome.

    Measured: Ca. 2-5hours later upon finishing the surgery

  3. Assessing the change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting

    Surgery causes significant disruption of physiologic metabolism. The investigators currently lack specific markers to assess change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting. The investigators aim to identify metabolic markers and their change in the perioperative period in association with patients' clinical outcome.

    Measured: On postoperative day 1 during the morning round between 07:30-9:00am

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia and Surgical Procedure, Operative, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 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 15 Nov 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 Switzerland. 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?

Assessing the change of the metabolic profile in the perioperative setting (time frame: Before induction of anesthesia as baseline). 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 NCT04767685, 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 15 Nov 2022.
