About this study

Official title: Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Robotic Right Colectomy - a Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

Right-sided colonic cancer is treated with right-sided colectomy, predominantly performed as minimally invasive surgery with extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA). In recent years a new technique with intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) has emerged and it is thought that ICA is less invasive and thereby has the potential to improve the postoperative course of right colonic cancer patients.

The objective of this study is to compare robotic right colectomy with either ICA or ECA in a randomized controlled setting.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intracorporeal anastomosis and Extracorporeal anastomosis in people with Colonic Cancer, run by Herlev and Gentofte Hospital at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 5 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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?

Postoperative recovery (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT03130166, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Jan 2021.
