About this study

Official title: Surgical and Oncological Outcomes in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis Associated Rectal Cancer: a Retrospective Study

This is a retrospective observational study to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes, and long-term oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and rectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite improved targeted screening and timely prophylactic resection, up to 15% of all IBD-related mortality can be attributed to CRC.

Previous reports suggest that IBD patients present with CRC at an earlier age and with more advanced disease than those with sporadic CRC. The literature is limited, however, with respect to colitis-associated rectal cancer (CARC), which has unique considerations such as surgical approach and the use of neoadjuvant therapy. Although total proctocolectomy is generally the procedure of choice for those with CARC, recent reports reported acceptable oncological outcomes after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and ileorectal anastomosis (IRA).

The impact of the type of surgical procedure on the oncologic outcome in patients with CARC is not well defined.

The aim of this study is to investigate short-term surgical outcomes (postoperative complications at 30 days after surgery) and long-term oncological outcomes (disease-free survival) of CARC patients undergoing different surgical approaches.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis and Rectal Cancer, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy, United Kingdom. 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 Annalisa Maroli (+390282247776, annalisa.maroli@humanitas.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surgical outcome (time frame: 30 days after surgery). The study lists 2 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 9 Dec 2020.
