About this study

Official title: To Compare the Effects of Intraoperative Use of Intravenous Anesthetics Propofol and Inhaled Anesthetics Sevoflurane on the Prognosis of Patients Undergoing Surgery for Primary Lung Tumors and the Investigation of Its Mechanism of Action.

This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial. Routine perioperative care would be performed in volunteers with primary early lung cancer. The study will enroll approximately 300 volunteers to compare the progression-free or overall survival in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for primary lung tumors between propofol and sevoflurane for the maintenance of anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Before the scheduled procedure, the patients are randomly assigned into peopofol group or groups (1:1) according to the randomization generated by the computer. Both groups were induced with propofol 1~2.5 mg/kg propofol. The propofol group was maintained at an effect-site concentration of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion system. The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC). During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs (propofol/fentanyl /remifentanil and sevoflurane/cisatracurium/rocuronium) are adjusted to maintain the mean arterial pressure and heartbeat fluctuations within 20% of the baseline value and Entropy (or BIS) value at 40-60in both groups. The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, sex, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status score and functional capacity, the postoperative complications within 30 days (according Clavien-Dindo classification), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status scores, tumor size, intraoperative blood loss/transfusion, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, total opioid (remifentanil/fentanyl/ propofol) use, postoperative radiation therapy, postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the presence of disease progression, and 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival and Karnofsky performance status score were recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called total intravenous anesthesia

    The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system.

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called inhalation anesthesia

    The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC)

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    6-month overall survival, 1-year overall survival, and 3-year overall survival

    Measured: From the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

  2. The presence of disease progression

    From the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression (recurrence or metastasis) or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months

    Measured: From the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression (recurrence or metastasis),assessed up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative complications

    Clavien-Dindo classification, and other postoperative complications

    Measured: The period from the day of surgery to postoperative 30 days

  2. Karnofsky performance status score

    to access patients' functional impairment

    Measured: Karnofsky performance score(from 0 (dead) to 100(normal no complication)) before surgery (baseline data) , postoperation 7 days, postoperation 3 months, postoperation 6 months, postoperation 12 months

  3. Length of hospital stays

    the length of stays in general ward and ICU

    Measured: from the day of surgery to dischage, assessed up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol and Sevoflurane in people with Lung Cancer and Progression, Disease, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 14 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2023. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Hung-Te Hsu, MD (07-3121101 ext. 7035, hdhsu1228@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: From the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 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?
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 30 May 2023.
