About this study

Official title: Systemic and Peritoneal Inflammatory Response In Robotic-assisted And Laparoscopic Surgery for Colon Cancer (SIRIRALS-trial): a Randomized Controlled Trial

The current hypothesis is that robotic-assisted surgery results in a reduced systemic and peritoneal inflammatory response (SIRS) compared to laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of colon cancer. The purpose is to evaluate differences in the peritoneal and systemic inflammatory response in robot-assisted and laparoscopic surgery of patients undergoing resection for colon cancer in a randomized, blinded controlled trial.

Being tested
Robotic-assisted colectomy, Conventional laparoscopic colectomy
Keywords
Systemic inflammatory response, Colonic neoplasm, Robotic assisted surgery, Laparoscopy
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in levels of systemic inflammatory response expressed by CRP and IL-6 in serum between the two groups

    CRP (mg/L), IL-6 (pg/mL)

    Measured: Baseline and postoperative (day 1-3)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Changes in levels of systemic inflammation in serum between the two groups

    The cytokine levels are expressed by: Eotaxin, Eotaxin-3, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-7, IL-8, IL-8 (HA), IL-10, IL-12/IL-23p40, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17A, IP-10, MCP-1, MCP-4, MDC, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, TARC, TNF-α, TNF-β, VEGF-A and IL-1RA. All cytokines are measured in pg/mL

    Measured: Baseline and postoperative (day 1-3)

  2. Differences in number of patients with postoperative surgical and medical complications (30 days) according to Clavien-Dindo classification and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)

    Number of complications obtained from medical records

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Differences in intraoperative blood loss

    Measured in mL

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Conversion rate to open surgery

    Number of conversions to open surgery

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Length of surgery (total anesthesia time)

    Measured in minutes

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Length of surgery (total surgical time)

    Measured in minutes

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Lymph node yield

    Pathological examination of lymph nodes

    Measured: 14 days

  8. Length of hospital stay

    Measured in days

    Measured: 14 days

  9. Postoperative pain

    Measured by VAS-scale

    Measured: Baseline and postoperative (day 1-3 and 14)

  10. Time to first flatus

    Measured in hours

    Measured: Postoperative (day 1-3)

  11. Time to first bowel movement

    Measured in hours

    Measured: Postoperative (day 1-3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robotic-assisted colectomy and Conventional laparoscopic colectomy in people with Colonic Neoplasms and Colon Cancer, run by University of Southern Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

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 8 inclusion and 10 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 16 Jun 2021. 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 Denmark. 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 Pedja Cuk, MD (+4579970000, pedja.cuk@rsyd.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in levels of systemic inflammatory response expressed by CRP and IL-6 in serum between the two groups (time frame: Baseline and postoperative (day 1-3)). 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 NCT04687384, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 Jun 2021.
