About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Oncologic Outcomes After Laparoscopic Modified Complete Mesocolic Excision for Non-metastatic Right Colon Cancer [PIONEER Study]: Multicenter, Single-Arm Study

This study is a multi-institutional, prospective, observational study evaluation oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic modified complete mesocolic excision (mCME) on right-sided colon cancer.

The primary outcome of this study is 3 year disease-free survival. Secondary outcome measures include 3 year overall survival, incidence of surgical complications, completeness of mCME, and distribution of metastatic lymph nodes.

Read the detailed description

The present study aims to evaluate the oncological outcomes of laparoscopic mCME on right-sided colon cancer. The right side of the colon was defined as the colon from cecum up to the proximal half of the transverse colon. The number of patients needs to get a 90% power is 250. Patients will be enrolled at five leading centers in South Korea. A complete information leaflet will give to the patients during the first consultation, which will correspond to the enrollment day. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period will be in complete accordance with the usual care of the center. The baseline demographics and conditions, as well as the perioperative items and the postoperative occurrences, will be recorded through a prior designed case report form. The follow-up encompasses 13 postoperative consultations: 1month, 3 months, after that every 3 months until 36 months.

The primary outcome of this study is 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary outcome measures include 3-year overall survival, the incidence of surgical complications, completeness of mCME, and distribution of metastatic lymph nodes. Review of resected surgical specimens and the operative field after completion of lymph node dissection will be done based on photographs to assess the quality if surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic modified complete mesocolic excisionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy

    First, complete kocherization may be required to clear possible tumor spread if the tumor is infiltrating or adhering to the duodenum or perinephric fat tissue. Second, if the tumor is locally advanced, the entire prerenal soft tissue behind Gerota's fascia may need to be cleared, especially for tumors growing toward the posterior. The third difference of mCME with the conventional CME involves the tailored resection of the mesocolon and ileal mesentery according to tumor location. After identifying the root of the middle colic artery, the site of the vascular ligation depends on the location of the tumor. When the tumor is located in the cecum and ascending colon, only the right branch of the middle colic artery is ligated. If the tumor was present in these latter sites, the root of the middle colic artery is ligated.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3 year disease-free survival (DFS)

    The 3 year disease-free survival is defined as the time from surgery until documented recurrence or death from any cause.

    Measured: DFS will be measured up to three years after surgery, and the last visit is 14th visit after index surgery.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 3 year overall survival (OS)

    The time from surgery until documented death from any cause

    Measured: Three years after surgery

  2. Incidence of surgical complications

    Measured: Until four weeks after surgery

  3. Completeness of mCME

    1. By reviewing resected surgical specimens based on photographs B. By reviewing the operative field after lymph node dissection and specimen removal based on photographs

    Measured: Two weeks after surgery

  4. Distribution of metastatic LNs

    Lymph nodes retrieved from resected surgical specimens to categorise

    Measured: Two weeks after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenocarcinoma of the Colon, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 4 Oct 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 South Korea. 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?

3 year disease-free survival (DFS) (time frame: DFS will be measured up to three years after surgery, and the last visit is 14th visit after index 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 NCT03992599, 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 4 Oct 2019.
