About this study

Official title: Comparison of Zero Ischemia Laparoscopic Microwave Ablation-Assisted Enucleation and Conventional Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy in the Treatment of T1a Renal Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficiency of zero ischemia laparoscopic microwave ablation-assisted enucleation in comparison with conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the treatment of T1a renal cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Microwave ablation has been widely used in the minimally-invasive treatment of renal tumors. Recently, a technique of laparoscopic microwave ablation-assisted renal tumor enucleation was developed, but the experience was preliminary. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficiency of this technique, particularly its role in the preservation of renal function, in comparison with conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Being tested
laparoscopic microwave ablation-assisted enucleation, conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy
Keywords
zero ischemia, microwave, ablation, enucleation, renal cell carcinoma
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney

    measured by renal scintigraphy

    Measured: baseline, 3 months and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. absolute change in eGFR of the affected kidney

    Measured: baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

  2. absolute change in total GFR

    measured by renal scintigraphy

    Measured: baseline and 6 months

  3. blood loss

    Measured: during surgery

  4. operation time

    Measured: during surgery

  5. surgical margin

    assessed according to the pathology report of the operation specimen

    Measured: 1 month

  6. postoperative complications

    number of participants with postoperative complications graded by Clavien- Dindo system

    Measured: up to 6 months

  7. progression-free survival

    Measured: 12 months

  8. local recurrence

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic microwave ablation-assisted enucleation and conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2017. 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 China. 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?

absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney (time frame: baseline, 3 months and 12 months). 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 5 Apr 2017.
