About this study

Sympathetic activity could be increased during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, which is performed in a steep trendelenburg position under CO2 pneumoperitoneum.

Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system prolongs the QT interval and can increases the susceptibility to life threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

Dexmedetomidine has sympatholytic effects and potential antiarrhythmic properties. Perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine is a potential preventive and treatment strategy for tachyarrhythmia. Thus the investigators decided to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on heart-rate corrected QT interval during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Furthermore, the investigators evaluated the Tp-e, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio as well.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dexmedetomidine on heart-rate corrected QT(QTc) interval

    QTc intervals (msec) are recorded from pre-induction until 60 min after the end of pneumoperitoneum

    Measured: From pre-induciton until 60 min after the end of pneumoperitoneum

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and Saline in people with Prostate Cancer and Robotic Surgery, run by Yonsei University 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 29 Jan 2016. 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?

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?

Dexmedetomidine on heart-rate corrected QT(QTc) interval (time frame: From pre-induciton until 60 min after the end of pneumoperitoneum). 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 29 Jan 2016.
