Trial summary

Surgical resection is the best treatment option for colorectal cancer. Despite this radical approach, recurrences within five years are still common. Several authors have proposed that the immunosuppressive state surrounding the perioperative period was a key element of cancer cells spread. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: NK Activity Modulation by Intravenous Lidocaine During Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Surgical resection is the best treatment option for colorectal cancer. Despite this radical approach, recurrences within five years are still common. Several authors have proposed that the immunosuppressive state surrounding the perioperative period was a key element of cancer cells spread.

A particular subtype of T lymphocytes, the Natural Killer cells (NKs), is the main actor of the innate immune system. Several factors of the perioperative period can reduce activity of NKs such as stress, pain, opioids and general anaesthetics.

Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that has been widely used intravenously for abdominal surgeries. Intravenous lidocaine has been shown to reduce pain scores, morphine consumption, ileus time and length of stay in major colorectal surgeries. It reduced markers of systemic inflammation as well.

The authors hypothesize that the use of intravenous lidocaine during laparoscopic surgeries for colorectal cancer resection will preserve NKs activity.

Being tested
Intravenous Lidocaine, Normal saline infusion

    Lidocaine infusion: 1.5 mg/kg bolus on 10 minutes (maximum 150 mg) followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h

  • Normal saline infusionDrug

    Normal saline infusion: 1.5 mg/kg bolus on 10 minutes (maximum 150 mg) followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h

What is being measured

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

  1. Dosage of NKs activity after surgery

    Dosage of NKs activity after surgery

    Measured: compare the activity of NK cells on day 1 and day 3 after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pain scores

    From the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

    Measured: pain scores from the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

  2. Morphine consumption

    Morphine consumption from the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

    Measured: From the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

  3. Ileus time

    time to get flattus after surgery

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 3 after surgery

  4. Surgical complications

    Infections, leakage, abcess

    Measured: Within 3 days after surgery

  5. Fentanyl dose

    Cumulative dose of fentanyl needed for the surgery

    Measured: Operative time

  6. Nausea and vomiting

    Nausea and vomiting from the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

    Measured: From the PACU to the 3rd day after surgery

  7. Major adverses events

    Hypotension, heart rythm blocks, tachycarida, bradycardia

    Measured: Start of the surgery untill one hour after PACU ad;ission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intravenous Lidocaine and Normal saline infusion in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

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 14 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 26 Apr 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Contact louis-Philippe Fortier, M.D. (1 514 252 3400, fortierlp@mac.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dosage of NKs activity after surgery (time frame: compare the activity of NK cells on day 1 and day 3 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 26 Apr 2013.
