Trial summary

Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication after LAR with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate the clinical use of peritoneal microdialysis and whether is able to detect anastomotic leakage prior to clinical symptoms.

About this study

Official title: Intraperitoneal Microdialysis Monitoring of Patients During the Early Postoperative Period After LAR With Reference to Early Diagnosis of Anastomotic Leakage Ore Other Complications

Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication after LAR with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate the clinical use of peritoneal microdialysis and whether is able to detect anastomotic leakage prior to clinical symptoms.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing LAR for rectum cancer is subjected to peritoneal microdialyses during the postoperative period until the 7. postoperative day. Samples are collected every 4-hour. Samples will be analyzed continuously but the results will not be included in the clinical evaluation of the patient. Before removing the microdialysis catheter a CT whit rectal enema is preformed. Every day the patient will be evaluated whit a standardised clinical scoring system with attention at anastomotic leakage.

A total of 150 patients will be included in this study. The results of the peritoneal microdialyses will be compared with the clinical scorings system in each patient. The results form the uncomplicated courses will be used to define the normal variations in peritoneal microdialysis. This will be compared to results from patients with various complications.

The study is approved by the local scientific ethical committee No. ------

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peritoneal Microdialysis, CT-scan, leakage scoring in people with Cancer, run by Odense University Hospital at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Mark Ellebæk Pedersen, MD (40880511, markep01@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Significant elevated peritoneal microdialysis parameter like lactate and L/P-ratio (time frame: Clinically complications with in 30th 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 5 Feb 2014.
