About this study

Official title: Impact of Circulatory Changes on Thoracic Anastomosis in Patients Undergoing Thoracolaparoscopic Surgery for Oesophageal Carcinoma

The incidence of anastomotic leaks after gastroesophageal anastomosis after thoracolaparoscopic cancer esophagus surgery is high at the Oslo University Hospital. The patients selected for operation shall be investigated for microcirculatory changes at the thoracic anastomosis site and followed up for any post operative anastomotic leaks.

Read the detailed description
  • Microcirculation shall be evaluated during the operation with trans serosal laser doppler flowmetry and visible light spectroscopy (LDFVLS). Different anatomical areas of the stomach and gastric tube shall be examined With LDFVLS to find any changes in SO2, rHb, flow, and velocity. Repeat measurements shall be taken to compare them with the baseline measurements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of local microcirculatory changes on the thoracooesophegial anastomosis after cancer oesophagus surgery

    Repeated measurements of microcirculation With laser dopper flometer and visible light spectrometry shall be performed trans serosally of the stoach and gastric tube to register changes in microcirculation. Patients shall be followed up for anastomotic leaks. Besides CT angiography shall be performed before surgery.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circulatory; Change and Microcirculation, run by Oslo University Hospital at 2 sites in Norway.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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 6 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Norway. 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?

Impact of local microcirculatory changes on the thoracooesophegial anastomosis after cancer oesophagus surgery (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Oct 2020.
