Trial summary

The effect of preoperative glycemic control measured by HbA1c on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) outcome remains controversial. Thus, the investigators aim to examine the association of preoperative glycemic control with oncologic outcomes after radical or partial nephrectomy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study for the Impact of Preoperative Glycemic Control Status Measured by HbA1c Levels on Pathologic Features and Oncological Outcomes in the Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

The effect of preoperative glycemic control measured by HbA1c on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) outcome remains controversial. Thus, the investigators aim to examine the association of preoperative glycemic control with oncologic outcomes after radical or partial nephrectomy. The investigators will prospectively collect the relevant data including preoperative HbA1c in 238 patients of RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy. The associations between clinical variables and risk of adverse pathological features and disease recurrence will be tested using a multivariate logistic regression and multiple Cox-proportional hazards model, respectively.

Read the detailed description
  • This is the observational study as the single institutional, prospective cohort study. The investigators prospectively collect the clinicopathological information of the patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy.
  • Particularly, the investigators check the variables, including age at surgery, body mass index, sex, comorbidities, preoperative HbA1c levels, blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine levels, estimated-GFR, clinical TMN staging by CT scan, final pathological results (TMN stage, histology, and Fuhrman nuclear grade), warm ischemic time and surgical margin status (in the case of partial nephrectomy), postoperative recurrence and distant metastasis, renal function changes during follow-up periods.
  • The study protocol is same with routine follow-up schedule of the patients with RCC treated with nephrectomy. Typically, the investigators check the patients at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months. However, according to the patients status and preference, follow-up schedule can be changed within 3 months at specific time points. Because the present study is the observational cohort study, not intervention study, subtle changes of follow-up schedule would not affect on the primary outcomes.
  • Importantly, preoperative HbA1c should be checked within 1 month before operation, same as the routine preoperative laboratory tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Renal Cell and Pathology, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TMN stage (time frame: within 2 weeks after surgery). 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?
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 7 May 2015.
