Argipressin's Influence on Blood Loss During Hepatic Resection

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Infusion of Argipressin during hepatic resection surgery may reduce blood loss. It may also reduce transfusion requirements, and mitigate the perioperative inflammatory response compared to placebo. Subjects will be randomized to infusion of Argipressin or placebo during surgery. Blood loss, transfusion requirements, surgical data including length of stay in hsopital, inflammatory markers and markers of renal- intestinal- and cardiac injury will be assessed.

Clinical Trial Description

Hepatic resection is a major surgical intervention with high risk of substantial blood loss. The surgical means to reduce blood loss may impair perfusion and induce intestinal congestion. If blood flow to the liver can be influenced by pharmacological means, blood loss and transfusion requirements may be reduced. Moreover, the inflammatory system is involved in cancer development, and the anti-inflammatory properties of Argipressin may decrease the inflammatory response after hepatic surgery. Argipressin is an endogenous substance, and part of the body's response to stress and trauma. Argipressin affects V1-receptors to produce vasoconstriction. It is also involved in inflammatory reactions and affects platelets. Patients will be stratified according to planned type of surgery (open/laparoscopic) and planned extent of resection, and randomized to etiher infusion of Argipressin or placebo (normal saline) during surgery. In all other aspects, the participants will be treated according to the institution protocol for hepatic resection. The study drug will be started as soon as the central line is placed, and discontinued at the end of surgery. Hemodynamic data will be collected during surgery, and blood and urine-samples will be obtained during and after surgery for analysis of inflammatory markers and markers of organ injury. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
