About this study

Official title: Effects of Nonintubated Thoracoscopic Lobectomy on Lung Protection: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A novel nonintubated thoracoscopic technique is promising to enhance recovery after thoracic surgery. However, the effects of nonintubated technique on specific organ protection in not clear yet. In this randomized trial, the effect of nonintubated technique on lung function protection will be evaluated via PaO2/FiO2 ratio, oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines serially in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Its incidence is increasingly arising recently. For early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, surgery is the standard treatment that offers best chance of survival. For thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery, tracheal intubation with one-lung ventilation is regarded the standard anesthetic management to establish a safe operating environment. However, complications associated with intubated general anesthesia are not negligible. A novel nonintubated thoracoscopic technique is developing and applied in a variety of thoracic diseases. A previous study showed that nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy was feasible and safe in lung cancer patients. Furthermore, nonintubated techniques was also associated with a faster recovery of oral intake, less postoperative complications and shorter hospital stay. The effects of nonintubated thoracoscopic technique on specific organ protection is not clear yet.

The aim of this investigation is to explore the effects of nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy on lung function protection in lung cancer patients, comparing with the standard intubated patients as a control. The investigators are going to enrol 82 lung cancer patients and randomize them equally to complete thoracoscopic lobectomy with lymphadenectomy either with a nonintubated technique (n=41) or an intubated technique (n=41). The assessment of lung function will be obtained from serial blood gas analyses using PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Additionally, oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines will be measured from serial blood samples including 8-isoprostane, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, S100-β and neuron specific enolase.

What participants receive

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

  • Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomyProcedure or surgery

    Nonintubated general anesthesia using fentanyl, target-controlled infusion of propofol to achieve a bispectral index value between 40 and 60. One-lung ventilation will be achieved via a spontaneous breathing due to iatrogenic pneumothorax.

  • Intubated thoracoscopic lobectomyProcedure or surgery

    Intubated general anesthesia using 2%-3% sevoflurane and rocuronium to achieve a bispectral index value between 40 and 60. One-lung ventilation will be achieved via a endobronchial tube or blocker with use of mechanical ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung function assessment

    Lung function will be assessed by serial arterial blood gas analyses to obtain oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2).

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oxidative and systemic inflammatory cytokines.

    Oxidative and systemic inflammatory cytokines will be measured from serial blood samples, including 8-isoprostane (pg/mL), malondialdehyde (nM), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (pg/mL), interleukin-6 (pg/mL), interleukin-10 (pg/mL), S100-beta (pg/mL), and neuron specific enolase (ng/mL).

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy and Intubated thoracoscopic lobectomy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Lung Function Decreased, run by National Taiwan University 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 21 Mar 2018. 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.

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?

Contact Ming-Hui Hung, MD, MSc (02-23123456 ext. 62158, hung.minghui@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung function assessment (time frame: 12 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 21 Mar 2018.
