About this study

Official title: Sleep-wake Rhythm in the Perioperative Period in Patients Admitted for Elective Radical Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: an Observational Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective The objective of the current trial is to investigate the effect of perioperative sleep and circadian rhythm on the natural course of survival among patient diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Concurrently, outcome measures like depression, fatigue, quality of life, and co-morbidity will be measured continuously in the short-, intermediate- and long-term period following diagnosis.

The a-priori hypothesis is that preoperative sleep and circadian disturbances is a prognostic marker of reduced overall survival. Likewise, preoperative sleep-wake disturbances at baseline are expected to result in overall universally reduced quality of life, increased depression and fatigue. Furthermore, development of sleep-wake disturbances in the postoperative period as compared to preoperative sleep-wake rhythm is expected to a prognostic marker of negative outcomes.

Target and study population The study population are all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Region Zealand recruited consecutively from the trial initiation until study end each patient with an intended 5 year follow-up period. All available cases will be included in the trial.

Study design The study will be an observational prospective cohort study applying a longituditional repeated measure design.

Exposures and outcomes of interest The primary outcomes in the trial are sleep and circadian outcomes measured via actigraphy in the perioperative period.

Furthermore, cancer related survival and overall survival in the 5 year follow-up period is considered primary outcomes.

Secondary outcomes consist of consecutively measured depression, fatigue, quality of life, follow-up treatment and co-morbidity.

Exposure variables are primary related to the cancer, i.e. cancer stage, surgical treatment, oncological treatment, baseline co-morbidity and pharmacological treatment. Some of the secondary outcomes could be expected to serve as confounding or mediating factors.

Meaningful control for confounding will in the analysis phase be cancer stage and baseline sleep-wake rhythm status.

Sampling methods All available cases will be sought included in the trial. No formal sample size has been performed and continues inclusion into the trial will be performed during an 1,5 year period.

Statistical analyses The relationship between overall survival and baseline sleep-wake rhythm will be investigated using survival statistics and/or multivariate logistic regression.

Expected results The investigators expect to see a marked difference in overall survival among patients with sleep and circadian disturbances at baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasm and Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 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 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?

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?

Actigraphy (time frame: Approximately 1 week preoperatively to 2 weeks postoperatively). 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 15 Jan 2019.
