About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Surgery VS Laparoscopic Surgery + Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for T4 Tumor of the Colon Cancer: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel Group Clinical Trial

Groups/Cohorts

  1. Laparoscopic surgery for T4 colon cancers
  2. Neoadjuvantive chemotherapy + Laparoscopic surgery for T4 colon cancers
Read the detailed description

Investigators' previous studies indicated that laparoscopic surgery is feasible in T4 colon cancers with comparable clinical and oncologic outcomes. Laparoscopy may be considered as an alternative approach for T4 colon cancers with the advantage of faster recovery. The survival outcome of T4 colon cancers still dismays clinicians and patients. Preoperative chemotherapy is an attractive concept for locally advanced colon cancer. Optimal systemic therapy at the earliest possible opportunity may be more effective at eradicating distant metastases than the same treatment given after the delay and immunological stress of surgery. Besides, the shrinkage of primary tumor before surgery may reduce the risk of incomplete surgical excision and the risk of shedding of tumor cells during surgery. The aim of the present study is to compare the short-and long-term survival outcomes between laparoscopic surgery alone and laparoscopic surgery with 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for T4 colon cancer as well as the mortality and the morbidity.

The number of patients, which needs to get power of 80%, is 1960. The average numbers of patients needs to reach approximately 200, and that of surgical centers needs to reach 10.

Arrangements in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative period will be in complete accordance with the usual care of the center.

The baseline demographics and conditions as well as the perioperative items and the postoperative occurrences will be recorded through a prior designed e-questionnaire.

Globally,the disease free survival rate (chemotherapy and surgery), mortality (chemotherapy and surgery), the morbidity (chemotherapy and surgery) and the proportion of completion of laparoscopic surgery of the two surgical strategies will be analized and compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease free survival

    calculated from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence

    Measured: 3-year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival

    calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of death from any cause

    Measured: 3-year

  2. Adverse events (mortality and morbidity)

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 3-month

  3. The proportion of completion of laparoscopic surgery

    The number of completion of laparoscopic surgery/the number of participants

    Measured: 1-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing XELOX or FOLFOX chemotherapy in people with Colonic Neoplasms, run by Fudan University.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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 19 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined 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.

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?

Contact Jiong Wu, MD,PhD (0086-21-34610367, 18918298120@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (time frame: 3-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 19 May 2016.
