About this study

Official title: A Prospective,Single-center,Randomized,Controlled Phase III Clinical Study Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Intraoperative Chemotherapy With 5-Fluorouracil Plus Curative Resection Versus Surgery Alone for Patients With Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate efficacy and safety of intra-operative chemotherapy with 5-FU for colorectal cancer patients receiving curative resection. The hypothesis is intra-operative intervention might be the best timing for cancer cells killing by cytotoxic agents, when most of residual cancer cells may get a rapid growth after tumor debulking and may become more chemotherapy-sensitive. A three-step procedure is designed for intra-operative chemotherapy with 5-FU of 1500 mg/m2, including step 1 of intraluminal 5-FU injection with 1000 mg/m2 at beginning of resection, step 2 of 200mg/m2 5-FU injection into portal vein system via mesentery vein after tumor removal and finish of bowel reconstruction, and step 3 of 300mg/m2 5-FU left into the abdominal cavity before incision closure. The controlled arm receive curative resection only. All the other treatments will stick to the guidelines.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • curative resection for colorectal cancerProcedure or surgery

    Also called curative resection for colorectal cancer.

    right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer, transverse colectomy for transverse colon cancer, left hemicolectomy for left colon cancer, sigmoid colectomy for sigmoid colon cancer, and anterior resection or abdominal-perineal resection for rectal cancer.

  • intra-operative 5-FU chemotherapyDrug

    Also called intra-operative 5-FU chemotherapy for colorectal cancer

    5-FU, 1000 mg/m2, injection into bowel lumen at the beginning of resection 5-FU, 200 mg/m2, injection into portal vein via mesentery vein at the end of tumor removal and bowel reconstruction.

    5-FU, 300 mg/m2, left in abdominal cavity before incision closure. surgical procedures will be the same as described in ARM A.

Study groups in NCT01465451
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ARM A- surgery aloneActive comparatorall cases will receive standard surgical procedures of curative resection for colorectal cancer, without intra-operative chemotherapy.

    5 years survival of recurrence-free, metastasis-free, and death-free survival after randomization.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. safety profiles

    complete blood cells counts, blood chemistry testing, all 28-day mortality after operation, all surgery-related complications

    Measured: 28 days after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing curative resection for colorectal cancer and intra-operative 5-FU chemotherapy in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 6 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 11 Aug 2016. 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

disease-free survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01465451, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Aug 2016.
