About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study of Three-dimensional Visualization Techniques to Improve the Quality and Safety of Robot-assisted Nephron Sparing Surgery for Complex Renal Tumors

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the evidence-based medical value of 3D visualization techniques to improve tumor control, preservation of renal function, and perioperative safety in robot-assisted nephron sparing surgery for complex renal tumors. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is 3D visualization techniques more effective in improving robot-assisted nephron sparing surgery for complex renal tumors in terms of tumor control, renal function preservation, and perioperative safety.

The researchers will randomize participants into a 3D trial group and a conventional group for comparison.

Participants will:

Complete Blood routine, liver and kidney function tests on the first and third day after operation.

Have Renography at 3 and 12 months after the operation. Cooperate with follow-up visits.

Read the detailed description
  1. Sample size: When designing this experiment, considering the warm ischemic time reported by our center and in the literature, with a test power of 80% (β= 0.2), a power value of 0.8, a one-sided type I error of 2.5% (α= 0.05), the sample size is calculated to be 242 cases. The enrollment is planned to last 2 years, and the follow-up results from enrollment to the initial stage are for 5 years. Calculated based on a 30% dropout rate, 350 cases are planned to be enrolled.
  2. Enrollment screening: Appropriate, reproducible methods should be used to evaluate the tumor prior to randomization (e.g., CT and/or MRI). The following evaluations should be made prior to randomization: demographic data, medical history (including concomitant disease and treatments), physical examination, pregnancy test (if necessary), special examinations (chest X-ray and ECG). The following evaluations should be made prior to randomization: vital signs and physical examination (including Karnofsky performance status score, height, and weight), hematological and biochemical examinations.
  3. Randomization: Patients who meet the selection criteria will be randomly allocated to the 3D trial group and the conventional group in a 1:1 ratio.
  4. Assessment During the Study Period: During the study period, patients' concomitant disease and treatments will be continuously monitored, and vital signs, weight, Karnofsky performance status score, hematological examinations (including white blood cells/neutrophils), and serum biochemical examinations will be conducted according to specified time intervals for each patient. An conventional ECG and chest X-ray/CT examination will be conducted prior to surgery. Tumor assessment will be conducted during the perioperative period (clinical examination, chest X-ray or chest CT/MRI, and abdominal CT/MRI). Laboratory examination indicators during the perioperative period should be recorded, such as preoperative and postoperative hematological and biochemical examinations. The focus is to complete the renogram to evaluate renal function within 1 month prior to surgery, and re-evaluating renal function with a renogram 3 months and 12 months after surgery to assess changes in renal function. No matter what surgical method is used, detailed records should be made of what was seen during the operation, the surgical method, operative data, and postoperative pathology. All patients should be followed up according to the study protocol, and PFS and OS should be recorded.
  5. Statistical Analysis:

Statistical analysis will be conducted using the SPSS 24.0 software package. Statistical descriptions will use rates for enumeration data, and means and 95% confidence intervals for measurement data. The t-test will be used to compare the measurement data between the two groups, the Chi-square test will be used to analyze the enumeration data, the Kaplan-Meier method will be used to calculate the survival curve, and the Log-rank test will be used to compare the two treatments.HR and 95% Confidence intervals for survival in subgroups will be determined with the multiple individual Cox models, which will separately measure the interaction between factors and treatment effect. The probability P value will be used for statistical inference regardless of the stage, and the statistically significant difference thresholds will be adopted as 0.05.

What participants receive

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

  • Preoperative three-dimensional reconstructionDiagnostic test

    On the basis of conventional CT/MRI, the patient will undergo 3D reconstruction within 48 hours before surgery. The surgeon/researcher will conduct surgical planning according to the results of the 3D reconstruction and perform robot-assisted laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery.

Conventional groupNo interventionThe patients will not undergo preoperative 3D reconstruction. The surgeon will arrange robot-assisted laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery according to routine CT/MRI.

What is being measured

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

  1. warm ischemia time

    The time from start of arterial clamping to release of arterial blocking forceps during surgery. Superselective arterial blockade will be recorded separately as a specific blockade modality. The arterial blocking time will be recorded as 0 for those without arterial blockage.

    Measured: From start of arterial clamping to release of arterial blocking forceps during surgery, an average of 25 minutes.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. operative time

    Measured: From the beginning to the end of the surgery, an average of 3 hours.

  2. Intraoperative bleeding

    Measured: From the beginning to the end of the surgery, an average of 3 hours.

  3. Length of postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: an average of a week.

  4. Incidence of postoperative complications

    Measured: an average of a week.

  5. Positive rate of pathological margin

    Measured: an average of a week.

  6. Conversion rate

    Laparoscopic surgery converts to open surgery, or partial nephrectomy converts to radical nephrectomy during the surgery.

    Measured: From the beginning to the end of the surgery, an average of 3 hours.

  7. Postoperative creatinine changes

    Measured: 1 month

  8. Changes in glomerular filtration rate

    Measured: 3 month.

  9. 3-year recurrence-free survival rate

    Measured: Within three years from the end of the surgery.
