About this study

Official title: Effect of Hydroxyethyl Starch on Renal Handling of Salt and Water, Blood Pressure-regulating Hormones, Proteins and Circulatory System of Patients Undergoing Kidney Removal by Keyhole Surgery

The purpose of this project is to investigate if hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is potential nephrotoxic and examine the effects on the circulation and kidneys during administration of HES during surgery.

Read the detailed description

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is widely used in hospitals to maintain circulation in critically ill patients. In recent years studies have raised suspicion that HES is nephrotoxic. So far acute kidney injury has been diagnosed based on creatinine measurements, but new technology allows for earlier diagnosis using measurements of biomarkers in urine. The purpose of this project is to investigate HES's potential toxicity and effects on the circulation and kidneys using measurements of biomarkers specific for toxicity and for the sodium/water balance in the urine and by measurements of vasoactive hormones in the blood after administration of HES 130/0.4

Receives: Drug: Sodium Chloride 9mg/ml

What is being measured

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

  1. u-NGAL

    The main objective for the trial(only patients undergoing elective laparoscopic nephrectomy) is to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on u-NGAL, which is a biomarker of nephrotoxicity

    Measured: 2-4 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. u-Kim1 and u-LFABP

    Another objective for the trial(only patients undergoing elective laparoscopic nephrectomy) is to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on u-Kim1 and u-LFAPB, which are also biomarkers of nephrotoxicity

    Measured: 2-4 hours

  2. FENa, u-ENaCβ, CH2O, u-AQP2,u-NCC, u-NK2CC

    Secondarily to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on the renal tubular transport of sodium and water during elective laparoscopic nephrectomy

    Measured: 2-4 hours

  3. PRC, p-Ang-II, p -Aldo, p-ANP,P-GDP, p-AVP, p-Endothelin

    Thirdly to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on vasoactive hormones during elective laparoscopic nephrectomy

    Measured: 2-4 hours

  4. SBP, DBP, heartrate

    Fourthly measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on central hemodynamics during elective laparoscopic nephrectomy

    Measured: 2-4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Voluven (Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0,4) and Sodium Chloride 9mg/ml in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Regional Hospital Holstebro at 1 site in Denmark.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2014. 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 Denmark. 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of patient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

u-NGAL (time frame: 2-4 hours). 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 9 Oct 2014.
