About this study

Official title: Prospective Comparative Study of Immunological Benefit Between Laparoscopic Colectomy and Open Colectomy

This study aimed to clarify existence of immunological benefit of laparoscopic colon cancer surgery compared to open colon surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients with clinical stage Ⅲ left colon and upper rectal cancer were prospectively assigned to undergo LC (n=35) or OC (n=39). Factors related to cellular immunity of host (total lymphocyte count, CD4 lymphocyte, CD8 lymphocyte, CD4/CD8 ratio, HLA-DR expression on monocyte (mHLA-DR)) were examined preoperatively, on the 1st day of operation (POD1) and the 5th day of operation (POD5).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immunity, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2008. 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 South Korea. 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?

Immune factors (time frame: post OP 5th 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 29 Aug 2008.
