What is being measured

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

  1. Change in number of circulating tumor cells prior to surgery to 2 - 4 weeks after surgery

    Baseline number of circulating tumor cells will be recorded prior to surgery in a venous blood sample. Number of circulating tumor cells will be measured 2 - 4 weeks after surgery in a venous blood sample. These two values will be compared.

    Measured: 1 - 3 days before surgery to 4 weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain assessment

    Pain intensity assessed using Numerical Rating Scale (0-10)

    Measured: Time Frame: 3 days postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Morphine and Piritramid in people with Colorectal Cancer and Circulating Tumor Cell, run by The Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Czech Republic at 3 sites in Czechia.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Czechia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change in number of circulating tumor cells prior to surgery to 2 - 4 weeks after surgery (time frame: 1 - 3 days before surgery to 4 weeks after surgery). 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 7 Dec 2023.
