About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effect of General Anesthetics on Postoperative Recovery After Minimally Invasive Nephrectomy (REGAIN Trial)

This prospective, randomized, single-blinded study is designed to compare the postoperative quality of recovery between propofol based total intravenous anesthesia and desflurane in patients undergoing minimally invasive nephrectomy. We hypothesize that propofol based total intravenous anesthesia can significantly improve the quality of recovery after surgery in patients with minimally invasive nephrectomy.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic or robotic assisted nephrectomy are randomly allocated to receive propofol based total intravenous anesthesia (n=75) or desflurane (n=75). The quality of recover after surgery using the QoR-15K was assessed by a investigator at postoperative day (POD) 1, 2, and 3. The primary outcome is the QoR-15K at POD 1, 2, and 3 after surgery.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • total intravenous anesthesia with propofolDrug

    Also called TIVA group

    In the TIVA group, general anesthesia is induced and maintained with a target-controlled infusion of propofol using infusion pump (Orchestra®; Fresenius Vial, Brezins, France). In both groups, remifentanil is continuously infused throughout the surgery for balanced anesthesia, adjusted to maintain arterial pressure.

  • inhalation anesthesia with desfluraneDrug

    Also called DES group

    In the desflurane group, anesthesia is induced with propofol 1-2 mg/kg and maintained with desflurane (5-7 vol %). In both groups, remifentanil is continuously infused throughout the surgery for balanced anesthesia, adjusted to maintain arterial pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. quality of recovery

    Change in the QoR-15K score from 24 hours to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Postoperative pain score

    Change in the pain severity measured by the 11-pointed numeric rating scale (0: none/10: worst pain) pain score at resting/movement from 24 hours to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours postoperatively

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting during the first 24 hours postoperatively

    Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (%)

    Measured: during the first 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Postoperative nausea and vomiting during the 24-48 hours postoperatively

    Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (%)

    Measured: during the 24-48 hours postoperatively

  4. Postoperative nausea and vomiting during the 48-72 hours postoperatively

    Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (%)

    Measured: during the 48-72 hours postoperatively

  5. Total fentanyl consumption during the first 24 hours postoperatively

    Change in the postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia from 24 hours to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: during the first 24 hours postoperatively

  6. Total fentanyl consumption during the 24-48 hours postoperatively

    Change in the postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia from 24 hours to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: during the 24-48 hours postoperatively

  7. Total fentanyl consumption during the 48-72 hours postoperatively

    Change in the postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia from 24 hours to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: during the 48-72 hours postoperatively

  8. Quality of life at early post-discharge

    Change in the Quality of life measured using the EuroQoL 5-dimension 5-level scale (EQ-5D-5L) from baseline to early-postdischarge phase

    Measured: day before surgery and at 3 weeks after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and inhalation anesthesia with desflurane in people with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2021. 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?

quality of recovery (time frame: at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04447105, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2021.
