Trial summary

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard procedure for treating rectal cancer. However, in patients with obesity, prostate hypertrophy, low located tumor or/and pelvic stenosis, the traditional laparoscopic or open surgery is not easy to conduct. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Chinese Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision Registry Collaborative: A Nationwide Registry Study

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard procedure for treating rectal cancer. However, in patients with obesity, prostate hypertrophy, low located tumor or/and pelvic stenosis, the traditional laparoscopic or open surgery is not easy to conduct. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) might serve as a better procedure for these patients, for it might ease the dissection of the low mesorectum. So far, several studies have showed the promising results of TaTME, but the multi-center data in China is still lacking. This nationwide registry study included more than 30 Chinese hospitals, aiming at obtaining data on the safety and efficacy of this procedure in Chinese patients with rectal cancer and encouraging future research in this field.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) of the specimens

    Circumferential resection margin (CRM) is the distance between the deepest point of tumor in the primary cancer and the margin of resection in the retroperitoneum or mesentery by pathological examination. CRM 0-1mm is defined as positive, while >1mm is negative.

    Measured: 10 days after surgery

  2. The grade score of the specimens integrity

    shows the quality of the specimens: grade 1 is bad gross specimen which means incomplete mesorectum and pelvic fascia, and muscle layer can be see >5mm; grade 3 is high quality gross specimen, which means the specimen is cylindrical, mesorectum and pelvic fascia are complete; grade 2 is between 1and 3.

    Measured: 10 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. local recurrence rate

    show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.

    Measured: 3 years after surgery

  2. disease free survival rate

    show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.

    Measured: 3-year after surgery

  3. overall survival rate

    show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.

    Measured: 3-year after surgery

  4. the incidence of postoperative complications

    the incidence of postoperative complications after transanal total mesorectal excision.

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  5. the severity of postoperative complication assessed by Clavien Dindo grade

    the severity of postoperative complication after transanal total mesorectal assessed by Clavien Dindo grade

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  6. the grade of anastomotic leakage

    the grade of anastomotic leakage for patients who develop anastomotic leakage after transanal total mesorectal excision assessed by the grading system proposed by International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISREC).

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer, run by Beijing Friendship Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 31 Jan 2018. 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.

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 Hongwei Yao, M.D. (+8613611015609, yaohongwei@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) of the specimens (time frame: 10 days after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03416699, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2018.
