About this study

Official title: The Influence of Type of Anesthesia on Mortality and Cancer Recurrence After Colon Cancer Surgery: Multi-center Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

This study investigates the influence of type of anesthesia on survival and recurrence rate in patients receiving colon cancer surgery. The participants will be allocated to either the TIVA group and the inhalation group.

Read the detailed description

The effect of anesthesia on cancer recurrence and survival is controversial. According to some retrospective studies and preclinical studies, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is suggested to be more favorable than inhalation anesthesia regarding cancer recurrence and survival after surgery. However, there is no randomized controlled study to determine this difference in colon cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol and Sevoflurane in people with Cancer of Colon and Anesthesia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

five year survival (time frame: five years survival). 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 22 Nov 2023.
