About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Efficacy of Single Incision (Embryonic NOTES) Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Laparoscopic colon surgery has been performed widely. As a minimal invasive approach, single incision (Embryonic NOTES) colon surgery has been attempted.

However, there are not sufficient evidences for single incision colon surgery in colon cancer.

The investigators are researching the efficacy and safety of single incision laparoscopic sigmoidectomy in sigmoid colon cancer.

Read the detailed description

After several randomized clinical trials, laparoscopic colon surgery has been performed widely. As a minimal invasive approach, single Incision (Embryonic NOTES) colon surgery has been attempted. Several studies reported the feasibility of single incision colon surgery.However, there are not sufficient evidences for single incision colon surgery, especially in colon cancer.

The investigators are researching the efficacy and safety of single incision laparoscopic sigmoidectomy in sigmoid colon cancer. Harvested numbers of lymph node will be assessed for the efficacy and postoperative morbidity and mortality will be assess for the safety.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 6 Aug 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Harvested numbers of lymph node (time frame: Within the first 7 days (plus or minus 3 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 6 Aug 2012.
