NCT ID: NCT03339960 Recruiting - Ergonomics Clinical Trials

Ergonomics of Laparoscopy: Robotic Camera Controlled Versus Human Camera Controlled

Start date: June 23, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Minimal invasive surgery has acquired increased importance and the number of procedures performed is ever growing. Laparoscopic surgery has several distinct key benefits for patients over open surgery and therefore it is considered as standard treatment for most general surgery procedures. These benefits include faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, reduced post-operative pain and improved cosmetic results. However, laparoscopy has an increased burden to surgeons and many surgeons experience fatigue and physical discomforts due to laparoscopy. Robotic systems have been developed to improve the ergonomics (among other things), with good results. Many of the laparoscopy disadvantages have been overcome by robotic assisted surgery, such as increased range of motion, correction of the inverted instruments, and elimination of tremors.(4) Moreover, visualization of the operation is improved by personal camera control and stabilization of the image. The AutoLap system, a video analytic robotic camera holder, has been developed to hold the camera in a stable manner. It enables the surgeon to control the camera and eliminates the need for coordination and communication between surgeon and assistants. This study aims to evaluate the ergonomics of the surgeon and assistant during laparoscopy with the aid of the AutoLap system and compare it to standard laparoscopy. Also, it will be assessed whether the AutoLap can reduce physical and mental discomfort of both the surgeon and the assistant. Objective This multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to compare ergonomics of the OR nurse and the surgeon during standard laparoscopic procedures with laparoscopic procedures aided by a robotic camera holder, the AutoLap system. Study design Prospective, interventional, open, multicenter randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted in Wilhemina Hospital Assen and in Meander Medical Center Amersfoort. Study population Adults ≥18 years who are scheduled for the following procedures: - Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair / fundoplication - Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy - Laparoscopic sigmoid resection - Laparoscopic rectopexy - Laparoscopic low anterior resection - Laparoscopic splenectomy Inclusion criteria 1. Aged ≥ 18 years 2. Fit for standard laparoscopic general surgery Exclusion criteria 1. Contra-indications for laparoscopy 2. Obesity (BMI >35 Kg/m2) Intervention AutoLap group: In the AutoLap group, the camera will be held by a robotic arm. Posture of the surgeon and the assistant will be recorded during standardized predefined steps of the procedure. Control group: In the control group the camera will be held and maneuvered by a human assistant. The procedures will be performed according to the hospital and OR routine procedure. The surgical team will consist of 2 assistants and a surgeon. One of the assistants (OR-nurse, intern or resident) will hold the laparoscope and maneuver it. Posture of the surgeon and the assistant that maneuvers the laparoscope will be recorded during standardized predefined steps of the procedure. Main study parameters/endpoints: - RULA score, measured during predefined steps of the procedures. Secondary parameters/endpoints: - Questionnaires: Subjective Mental Effort Questionnaire (SMEQ), Local Experienced Discomfort (LED) scale (before and after the operation), NASA Task Load Index (NASA TLX).

NCT ID: NCT03339635 Active, not recruiting - Testicular Cancer Clinical Trials

Short-term Testosterone Replacement in Testicular Cancer Survivors

Start date: December 21, 2018
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

To assess the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on fat mass and other components of the metabolic syndrome. A randomized double-blind placebo controlled intervention study, followed by an open-label treatment phase.

NCT ID: NCT03339401 Terminated - Adenovirus Clinical Trials

The AdAPT Trial; Adenovirus After Allogeneic Pediatric Transplantation

AdAPT
Start date: December 22, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study was designed to assess the safety, overall tolerability, and antiviral activity of "short course" brincidofovir (BCV) therapy, as compared with current standard of care (SoC), for the treatment of adenovirus (AdV) infections in high-risk (i.e., T cell depleted) pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. A virologic response-driven approach to the duration of treatment was to be evaluated, in which subjects randomized to BCV therapy were to be treated until AdV viremia was confirmed as undetectable or until a maximum of 16 weeks of therapy, whichever occurred first. The formulation of BCV used in this study was oral tablet/suspension.

NCT ID: NCT03339336 Terminated - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety Study of BIIB074 in Participants With Small Fiber Neuropathy

Start date: May 31, 2018
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB074 in treating pain experienced by participants with confirmed small fiber neuropathy (SFN) that is idiopathic or associated with diabetes mellitus. A secondary endpoint that relates to the primary objective is the change from Randomization to Week 12 of the double-blind period in mean average daily pain score. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect on worst pain, neuropathic pain quality, sleep interference due to pain, patient global impression, use of rescue medication, and SFN symptoms in participants treated with BIIB074; to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in participants with SFN; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074 in participants with SFN.
