Trial summary

This is a nationwide prospective observational study to assess the overall clinical anastomotic leakage rate after right hemicolectomy for cancer, to detect the independent risk factors for AL, and to develop a clinical prediction model to estimates of the probability of the occurrence of an AL after surgery.

About this study

Official title: "Anastomotic Leakage After Right Hemicolectomy for Cancer, a Prospective Multicenter Study of SICO-CC Network." (AL RIGHT).

This is a nationwide prospective observational study to assess the overall clinical anastomotic leakage rate after right hemicolectomy for cancer, to detect the independent risk factors for AL, and to develop a clinical prediction model to estimates of the probability of the occurrence of an AL after surgery. Since this is a multicenter prospective study, the Division of Surgical Oncology and Digestive Surgery from the University of Turin, Department of Oncology, AOU San Luigi Gonzaga di Orbassano will be the Coordinator Center of the study, Ethics committee approves will be requested before the implementation of this study.

Italian high-volume colorectal surgery centers members of SICO (The Italian Society of Oncological Surgery) have agreed to participate as collaborators of this study, notification and revision from their local ethics committee will be requested as well. A certified general surgeon with a large experience in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative management of patients with colorectal cancer has been identified to coordinate the study in each center. Id information of the potential collaborators is specified in the section "Trial Setting". Once the study is activated, eligible patients (or a representative) must provide written, informed consent before any study procedures occur. No intervention or modification of the habitual clinical practice is planned All data will enter into a database provided by the promoting center. There are three main sections of data collection for each patient:

  • Preoperative: baseline, disease and demographics.
  • Operative: details about the surgery, anastomosis construction and enterotomy closure.
  • Follow-up: outcomes data about the early (within 30 postoperative day) and late postoperative course (31 th - 60th postoperative day) and pathology report. The definition of AL is based on the presence of clinical signs (pain, fever, tachycardia, peritonitis, feculent or enteric drainage, purulent drainage, postoperative ileus, abscess, septicemia, and/or organ failure) with radiographic signs (fluid collections, gas containing collections at CT scan) suggestive of AL and-or intraoperative or autopsy findings (gross enteric spillage, anastomotic disruption). The absence of AL will be assumed by a normal postoperative course and the absence of symptoms suggestive of AL with or without radiologic confirmation.

What is being measured

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

  1. overall rate of AL

    defined as the total cases of patients with clinical signs or symptoms of AL (pain, fever, tachycardia, peritonitis, feculent or enteric drainage, purulent drainage, postoperative ileus, abscess, septicemia, and/or organ failure), any radiological findings suggestive of AL (fluid collections, gas containing collections at CT scan) or intraoperative or autopsy findings (gross enteric spillage, anastomotic disruption), expressed in percentage. [time frame: from 1st to 30th postoperative day]. And identify the main associated factors through a multivariate model regression.

    Measured: from 1st to 30th postoperative day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall morbidity

    The rate of overall morbidity in patients with and without AL. Refers to adverse events and complications following surgery and classified by Clavien Dindo score

    Measured: from 1st to 60 postoperative day

  2. operative mortality

    The rate of operative mortality in patients with and without AL. Operative mortality was defined as death that occurred within 30 days after the primary operation

    Measured: within 30 postoperative days

  3. Length of stay.

    Total Length of stay. Defined as the length of an inpatient episode of care, calculated from the surgery day to the day of discharge and based on the number of nights spent in the hospital. Adding all the admissions episodes related and no related to AL

    Measured: from date of surgery up to 200 days

  4. reoperation

    The rate of reoperation in patients with and without AL: defined of the total cases of patients submitted to secondary surgery for any direct untoward effect of the right colon resection

    Measured: from 1st to 60 postoperative day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anastomotic Leak Large Intestine and Right Colon Tumors, run by San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rossella Reddavid, MD, PhD (+300119026224, rossella.reddavid@unito.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall rate of AL (time frame: from 1st to 30th postoperative day). 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 14 Nov 2024.
