Impact of Propofol-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia Versus Anesthesia With Sevoflurane on Long-term Outcomes With Patients Undergoing Elective Excision of Primary Liver Tumors

November 28, 2022 updated by: Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital

Impact of Propofol-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia Versus Anesthesia With Sevoflurane

This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial. Routine perioperative care would be performed in volunteers with primary Hepatocellular carcinoma. The study will enroll approximately 500 volunteers to compare the progression-free or overall survival in patients undergoing elective partial hepatectomy for primary liver tumors between propofol and sevoflurane for the maintenance of anesthesia.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Before the scheduled procedure, the patients are randomly assigned into peopofol group or groups (1:1) according to the randomization generated by the computer. Both groups were induced with propofol 1~2.5 mg/kg propofol. The propofol group was maintained at an effect-site concentration of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion system. The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC). During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs (propofol/fentanyl /remifentanil and sevoflurane/cisatracurium/rocuronium) are adjusted to maintain the mean arterial pressure and heartbeat fluctuations within 20% of the baseline value and Entropy (or BIS) value at 40-60in both groups. The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, sex, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status score and functional capacity, the postoperative complications within 30 days (according Clavien-Dindo classification), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status scores, tumor size, intraoperative blood loss/transfusion, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, total opioid (remifentanil/fentanyl/ propofol) use, postoperative radiation therapy, postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the presence of disease progression, and 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival and Karnofsky performance status score were recorded.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
