Trial summary

Cachexia associated with cancer is a grave and most of the time irreversible common situation. It seems independent from the size of the tumor or from its metastatic character. The consequences for the management of the patient are major and exceed widely the frame of the nutrition. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ANC2 Pilot Study Study of the Relationship Between Clinical and Paraclinical Markers During Situations of Cachexia and Pre-cachexia in Patients Over 70 Years With Colorectal Surgery

Cachexia associated with cancer is a grave and most of the time irreversible common situation. It seems independent from the size of the tumor or from its metastatic character. The consequences for the management of the patient are major and exceed widely the frame of the nutrition.

Undernutrition of patients with cancer is described by a decrease of the energy contributions and a loss of muscular and fat mass, leading to a progressive functional deficiency which can go to the cachectic state.

Actually, clinical criteria are proposed allowing to characterize the state of pre-cachexia but it remain too indistinct to allow an early and efficient screening and set up effective measures of prevention of the cachexia, to avoid the loss of muscular tissue and the cast iron of the energy reserves.

It is necessary to have clinical and biological markers with diagnostic aim and forecasts during the situations precedents the appearance of cachexia.

The present study will allow calibrating a longitudinal study, which could confirm the value of measures made for the diagnosis of pre-cachexia.

What participants receive

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

  • Biopsy of adipose and muscular tissueProcedure or surgery

  • Blood samplingOther

  • CalorimetryOther

  • Impedance measureOther

    Evaluation of physical composition (non-invasive method)

  • Evaluation of nutritional statusOther

    Nutritional status will be assessed by using the "Mini Nutritional Assessment" (MNA) questionnaire and a scale that evaluates anorexia

  • Evaluation of physical performanceOther

    This will be assessed by using a "tiredness scale" named "Echelle Visuelle Analogique" (EVA) in french

  • Evaluation of muscular strengthOther

    Muscular strength will be assessed thanks to the Handgrip Strength Test and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

  • Evaluation of emotional statusOther

    The emotional status wil be assessed thanks to the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)

  • Evaluation of functional statusOther

    The functional status will be assessed by using the Activity of Daily Life (ADL) questionnaire and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Questionnaire

What is being measured

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

  1. biological and radiological markers

    Validated criteria of cachexia, pre-cachexia and sarcopenia are applied. Systematic preoperative measures (TNFα, leptin, ghrelin) and CT scanning of the abdomen/pelvis are performed for all patient enrolled.

    Measured: During perioperative period (from date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. activity of the ATGL

    The activity of ATGL is determined by liquid scintillation counting.

    Measured: During perioperative period (From date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)

  2. Body composition

    Body composition is evaluated utilizing computerized tomography(CT) images (at the third lumbar vertebral level). A muscle index is also calculated by normalizing muscle areas for height.

    Measured: During perioperative period (from date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)

  3. metabolic phenotype

    metabolic phenotype is determinated by indirect calorimetry.

    Measured: During perioperative period (From date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)

  4. loss of fat body mass and/or lean body mass

    Lean body mass and components (intracellular water and extracellular water as well as body cell mass) were calculated by tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: During perioperative period (From date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsy of adipose and muscular tissue, Blood sampling and Calorimetry in people with Colorectal Tumor, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 23 Nov 2018. 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 France. 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?

biological and radiological markers (time frame: During perioperative period (from date of consent until discharge from the hospital, up to 30 postoperative days)). 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 23 Nov 2018.
