Trial summary

Conventional hand-stitching colostomy involves extensive hand-stitching by the surgeon. There are significant variations in the outcome of surgery due to differences in the suture techniques of surgeons. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficiency of Circular Stapler-assisted Colostomy With Hand-stitching Colostomy for Colorectal Cancer Patients

Conventional hand-stitching colostomy involves extensive hand-stitching by the surgeon. There are significant variations in the outcome of surgery due to differences in the suture techniques of surgeons. The use of a circular stapler in colostomy seems more rapid and efficient colostomy than the conventional methods.But all those reports are single center retrospective cohort study,no randomized controlled trials have been carried out so far.The aim of this study is to comparing the safety and efficiency of circular stapler-assisted colostomy with conventional hand-stitching colostomy in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

It has been difficult to standardize the pull-out of the colon and the size, shape and sutures of the colostomy due to the different techniques employed and varying levels of skill of surgeons in different regions.Thus, various postoperative colostomy complications are inevitable after surgery. Surgeons have been looking for a simple and efficient way to standardize colostomy and reduce its complications.

So we want to compare the safety and efficiency of circular stapler-assisted colostomy with conventional hand-stitching colostomy in colorectal cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing circular stapler-assisted colostomy and conventional hand-stitching colostomy in people with Colorectal Carcinoma, run by Zhejiang 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2020. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Not enough patients recruited). 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?

colostomy associated complications (time frame: 2 year). 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 7 Jul 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 5 Nov 2026.
