About this study

Official title: Self-expanding Metallic Stent Placement Followed by Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Scheduled Surgery for Treatment of Obstructing Left-sided Colonic Cancer

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SEMS followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to elective surgery for obstructing left-sided colon cancer.

Read the detailed description

Stoma is reported to be frequent in self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) treated patients with obstructing left-sided colon cancer than in those with non-obstructing surgery. Retrospective study reported worse overall survival with SEMS and elective surgery than with emergency surgery in patients with left-sided malignant colon obstruction. In practice, intestinal wall edema following stent placement increases the difficulty of surgery, and this could be a major problem if the interval between stent insertion and surgery is short (1-2 weeks). The patients with obstructing left-sided colon cancer received SEMS treatment, and the recevied neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to elective surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • self-expanding metallic stent placement followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapyCombination product

    Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered 1 week after successful SEMS placement and decompression for patient with obstructing left-sided colonic cancer. Patients received either three cycles of mFOLFOX6 repeated every 2 weeks or two cycles of CAPOX repeated every 3 weeks. Elective surgery was performed 2 weeks after completion of chemotherapy by experienced colorectal surgeons.

What is being measured

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

  1. stoma rate

    stoma rate after surgery

    Measured: 3 years after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Complication of Treatment, run by Beijing Chao Yang Hospital.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

stoma rate (time frame: 3 years after operation). 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 31 Jul 2019.
