About this study

Official title: Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein as Early Anastomotic Dehiscence Markers in Ovarian Cancer Surgery

EDMOCS trial pretends to evaluate if C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) can predict intestinal anastomotic leaks before early discharge in advanced ovarian cancer surgery requiring intestinal resection. These markers have already been positively tested in colorectal cancer surgery, but not yet in ovarian surgery.

Patients undergoing intestinal resection in ovarian cancer surgery will be included. C-reactive protein and PCT will be measured pre-operatively, and on the second, fourth and sixth postoperative day. Thirty-day readmissions, re-operations and mortality will be recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood testDiagnostic test

    C-reactive protein and PCT measured preoperatively, and on the second, fourth and sixth postoperative days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with anastomotic leak detected by elevation of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels

    To evaluate whether C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) can predict anastomotic leak before early discharge.

    Measured: Within the first 30 days after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. C-reactive protein and procalcitonin measures in patients without complications in ovarian surgery.

    Defining normal range values of C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin during postoperative ovarian cancer surgery.

    Measured: Within the first six days after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Neoplasms Malignant and Anastomotic Leak, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute at 1 site in Spain.

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 29 Sep 2022. 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 Spain. 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?

Number of patients with anastomotic leak detected by elevation of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels (time frame: Within the first 30 days after the surgery). 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 NCT03131492, which also lists 5 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 29 Sep 2022.
