About this study

Official title: Postoperative Serum Cytokine Changes After Radical Resection of Colorectal Cancer

Based on our previous research, this study aims to determine reliable surgical stress response markers in patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Every surgical intervention represents a stress for patient's organism. During the operation, numerous changes in the patient's metabolism take place, that are termed surgical stress response. Leading cause of surgical stress response is tissue destruction that always accompanies operations. Surgical stress response is effected through activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and through sympathetic activation.

The consequences of surgical stress response are numerous. Surgical stress response is essential to uneventful postoperative recovery. On the other hand, excessive surgical stress response may lead to serious postoperative complications, such as heart and kidney failure, venous thrombosis, disruption of operative wound and wound infection.

In prior studies the investigators have shown the kinetics of postoperative serum interleukin changes after radical resection of gastric cancer.

This study aims at determining reliable markers of surgical stress response severity in patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative changes of serum cytokine levels

    Serum cytokine levels will be determined at 1st, 2nd and 7th postoperative day and compared to preoperative values.

    Measured: 1 day, 2 days and 7 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Early postoperative complications

    Measured: Within one month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital Dubrava at 1 site in Croatia.

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 3 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 16 Jul 2013. 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 Croatia. 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?

Postoperative changes of serum cytokine levels (time frame: 1 day, 2 days and 7 days postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01244022, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 Jul 2013.
