About this study

Official title: Simultaneous Versus Staged Resection for Initially Resectable Synchronous Rectal Cancer Liver-limited Metastasis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous liver resections compared to staged hepatectomies of rectal cancer with liver metastasis and to compare the short and long-term survival between the two groups.

Read the detailed description

The optimal surgical strategy for treatment of patients with resectable synchronous rectal liver metastases remains controversial. To answer whether synchronous rectal cancer liver metastases (SLM) should be resected simultaneously with primary cancer or should be delayed, We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to compare the safety and efficacy of simultaneous versus delayed resection of the rectum and liver. Patients with rectal cancer and resectable SLM were randomly assigned to either simultaneous or delayed resection of the metastases. The primary outcome was the rate of major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade≥III) within 30 days following surgery. Secondary outcomes included disease-free and overall survival. A consecutive patients of rectal cancer with liver metastasis from ZhongShan hospital, Fudan university were enrolled and randomly assigned to simultaneous liver resections and staged hepatectomies. Post-operative complications, peri-operative mortality, long-term survival were compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severe complication rate after resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    Grade of III-V complication rate according to Clavien-Dindo

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Disease free survival

    Disease free survival after the last resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival after the last resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Post-operative mortality

    any death occured within 90 days after the last resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  4. Cost of hospitalization

    any cost during the resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    Measured: 2 months

  5. Complication rate after resection of primary and metastatic lesions

    All grade of complication rate according to Clavien-Dindo

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  6. Postoperative hospital stay

    The postoperative hospital stay is defined as the number of date from the first day after operation to discharge

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing simultaneous resection of liver metastasis and the rectal primary tumor and staged resection of liver metastasis and the rectal primary tumor in people with Rectal Neoplasm With Metastasis to the Liver, run by Fudan University.

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 7 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 7 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Severe complication rate after resection of primary and metastatic lesions (time frame: 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 7 Jul 2022.
