About this study

Intro: Recent studies on colorectal cancer surgery have been focusing on the role of intestinal microbiome on surgical outcomes. Standard perioperative cares, like mechanic bowel preparation (MBP), administration of antibiotics (ABT) and surgery-related stress and injury influence the microbiome composition and possibly induce a shift toward a microbiome dysbiotic state, which predisposes to complicated postoperative course. Microbiome composition changes and enhanced virulence factors may increase the risk of postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage (AL), surgical site infection (SSI), and postoperative ileus (PI), which are known to impact on patient's overall survival and cancer recurrence.

Objective: The primary objective is to investigate if a significant association might exist between the microbiome composition and the occurrence of postoperative complications at 90 days.

Methods: 3 different microbiome samples will be taken from all patients. Two fresh fecal samples for detection of LM and fecal water preparation: a) a day before the surgery before MBP and/or ABT (LM1), b) postoperatively after first bowel movement (LM2). One sample will be taken intra-operatively from the stapled resection lines of circular stapler used for forming a colorectal anastomosis, to detect the MAM and to perform immunohistochemistry staining for detection of HACE1 expression.

DNA analysis will be performed for all samples. IHC will be performed for detecting HACE1 expression in the tumor and colorectal anastomosis tissues using anti-HACE1 antibodies. .

For proliferation assessment, human colon carcinoma cell lines HT29 will be plated in monolayers and scratched with a single scratch. Monolayers will be incubated for 24 hours with fecal water from patients with surgical complications and matched control patients without complications.

Descriptive statistics will be performed to describe the study population. This project aim to describe microbiome composition and its impact on postoperative complications.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04005118
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
preoperative preparation on microbiome compositionMechanical Bowel Preparation + oral antibiotics group: receiving mechanical bowel preparation only MBP will be prepared with 4 liters of Polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution to be started 24 hours before the planned surgery. 500mg of Metronidazole will be administrated 3 times one day before the surgery at 2 pm, 3 pm and 10 pm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of anastomotic leakage

    detected by imaging techiques (CT scan or MRI)

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  2. Rate of surgical site infection

    1)superficial and deep infection:clinical observation of purulent discharge from the wound and/or bacterial staining from the wound 2)organ or deep space infection: imaging techniques (CT, MRI, USS)

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  3. Rate of prolonged postoperative ileuss

    detected by clinical observation of the first bowel movement after the surgery

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. microbiome composition

    The composition of luminal microbiome and mucosal-associated microbiome will be studied by DNA analyses from fresh fecal samples and surgical anastomosis material, accordingly

    Measured: 3 months after study start date

  2. microbiome composition

    The composition of luminal microbiome and mucosal-associated microbiome will be studied by DNA analyses from fresh fecal samples and surgical anastomosis material, accordingly

    Measured: 6 months after study start date

  3. impact of microbiome composition on length of hospitalization

    length of hospitalization will be detected and analyzed in association with microbiome composition

    Measured: at the time of patient's discharge of the hospital

  4. Correlation between detected bacterial OTUs (Operation Taxonomic Units) and the event of reintervention

    In the patient group with the event of reintervention, an abundance of specific OTUs will be analysed in compare with patients with no event of reintervention.

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  5. impact of microbiome metabolites on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and wound healing

    Monolayers of human colon cancer cell lines HT29 will be incubated for 24 hours with fecal water from patients with surgical complications and matched control patients without complications.

    Proliferation will be calculated in two manners: 1) The time of the closure of the scratch defect will be evaluated and compared in the two group., 2)Proliferation rate will be analyzed by immunohistochemistry marker Ki 67, expression of Ki 67 will be evaluated in cells at the borders of the scratch defect

    Measured: 6 months after study start date

  6. Expression intensity in cytoplasm of protein ligase HACE1 in tumoral and non-tumoral tissues

    Immunohistochemistry with anti-HACE1 antibodies will be used to detect expression levels in tumoral (colorectal cancer) and non-tumoral (anastomotic sample) tissues. In a case of decreased expression, tissues will be analyzed by methylation PCR to detect an aberrant methylation of HACE1 and its hypermethylation

    Measured: 6 months after study start date

  7. Expression intensity in cytoplasm of protein ligase HACE1 in tumoral and non-tumoral tissues

    Immunohistochemistry with anti-HACE1 antibodies will be used to detect expression levels in tumoral (colorectal cancer) and non-tumoral (anastomotic sample) tissues. In a case of decreased expression, tissues will be analyzed by methylation PCR to detect an aberrant methylation of HACE1 and its hypermethylation

    Measured: 3 months after study start date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenocarcinoma of the Colon and Adenocarcinoma of the Rectum, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 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 2 Jul 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 France. 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 Lelde Lauka, PHD (01 49 81 41 74 ext. +33, lelde.lauka@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of anastomotic leakage (time frame: 90 days after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2019.
