About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Oral and Systemic Versus Systemic Antibiotics

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal prophylactic antibiotics administration method in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Read the detailed description

The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients who undergo elective colorectal surgery is now accepted universally. But the rout of administration should be systematic, oral, or both is controversial. Furthermore, although many trails have been performed, no trial limited to laparoscopic surgery is performed. We compare 2 approaches - oral and systemic versus systemic antibiotic prophylaxis - in limited to elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Being tested
cefmetazole, kanamycin/metronidazole
Keywords
Antibiotic Prophylaxis, Colorectal Surgery, Laparoscopy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cefmetazoleDrug

    Intravenous dose of 1g cefmetazole just before surgery and additional doses every 3hs during surgery

  • kanamycin/metronidazoleDrug

    2 doses of oral kanamycin(1g)/ metronidazole(750mg) administration on the day before surgery with intravenous dose of 1g cefmetazole just before surgery and additional doses every 3hs during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing cefmetazole and kanamycin/metronidazole in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Japan Multinational Trial Organization at 5 sites in Japan.

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 11 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 19 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Incidence and classification of surgical site infection (SSI) (time frame: Within the first 30 days after surgery). 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 19 Sep 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
