Trial summary

Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal gland that develop from cells producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. Consequently, intraoperative blood pressure variations (hypertensive and hypotensive episodes) are characteristic of pheochromocytoma surgery, when these tumors are removed.

About this study

Official title: What is Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability During Unilateral Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma: an Observational Study

Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal gland that develop from cells producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. Consequently, intraoperative blood pressure variations (hypertensive and hypotensive episodes) are characteristic of pheochromocytoma surgery, when these tumors are removed. However, recommendations for the management of these tumors are based on data essentially dating from the 1960s-1990s. Since then, anesthesia and surgery for patients with pheochromocytoma have evolved considerably, and have become more effective with time. In these circumstances, a review of the current situation is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate the intraoperative hemodynamic changes observed in patients undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, comparing them with the hemodynamic profile observed in patients undergoing adrenal surgery for a pathology other than pheochromocytoma (control group).

Read the detailed description

Each patient included in this study underwent unilateral adrenalectomy for adrenal pathology during the inclusion period. For each patient included, intraoperative hemodynamic data were collected every 20 seconds by the monitoring system used by the anesthesia team (VitalSignsCapture v1.004 program via RS232 port). For each patient, the HI score (a clinical tool validated in two previously published articles) was calculated for the intraoperative period (time between induction of anesthesia and patient discharge from the operating room). This enabled a comparison to be made between patients operated on for pheochromocytoma (30 patients) and patients operated on for a cause other than pheochromocytoma (30 patients).

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamic instability score

    The haemodynamic instability score was calculated as a weighted continuous measure ranging from 0 to 160 points. This score appropriately quantifies deviations of blood pressure and heart rate from predefined thresholds, and infusion rates of vasoactive agents and fluids. Zero corresponds to the absence of peroperative hemodynamic changes and 160 to the maximum possible peroperative hemodynamic changes.

    Measured: during surgery (from induction of the patient under general anesthesia to discharge from the operating room)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pheochromocytoma and Non-Secretory Adrenal Adenoma, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 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 13 Feb 2025. 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 France. 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?

Hemodynamic instability score (time frame: during surgery (from induction of the patient under general anesthesia to discharge from the operating room)). 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 NCT06062082, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 Feb 2025.
