About this study

Official title: Transanal Decompression Tube Versus Stent as a Bridge to Surgery for Acute Malignant Left-sided Colonic and Rectal Obstruction

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of transanal decompression tube as a bridge to surgery with stent as a bridge to surgery for acute malignant left-sided colonic and rectal obstruction.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 8-47 % of patients with colorectal cancer will present with colonic obstruction. Left-sided colonic and rectal cancer is responsible for nearly 70% of acute colonic obstruction. Emergency colonic surgery for acute obstruction is associated with a higher mortality and morbidity rate than elective surgery. Preoperative decompression results in a less dilated bowel that is more amenable to an elective surgery. Both transanal decompression tube and stent can serve a good preoperative decompression effect and serve a good bridge to surgery. Investigators aim to compare the clinical outcomes of transanal decompression tube as a bridge to surgery with stent as a bridge to surgery for acute malignant left-sided colonic and rectal obstruction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Creation of stoma

    Creation of stoma include temporary and definitive stoma.

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented creation of stoma, assessed up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Transanal decompression tube/stent-related complications

    Transanal decompression tube/stent-related complications usually include bowel perforation, migration, and stent re-obstruction.

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented transanal decompression tube/stent-related complication, assessed up to 7 days

  2. Surgery-related complications

    Surgery-related complications usually include wound complications and anastomotic leak.

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented surgery-related complication, assessed up to 24 months

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transanal decompression tube and Stent in people with Colonic Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Xuzhou Central Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: We can not get enough sample size.). 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?

Creation of stoma (time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented creation of stoma, assessed up to 24 months). 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 NCT02585271, 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 5 Jul 2019.
