About this study

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged the survival substantially for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.Bleeding and thromboembolic disease have been reported as postoperative complications related to this advanced open surgical treatment. However, perioperative changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis are only sparsely reported in the literature.The mainstay of treatment with curative intend of none-advanced colorectal cancer is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The approach is considered associated with a lower risk of thromboembolic disease than open surgery. Despite differences in extent of surgery and thromboembolic risk the same extended thromboprophylaxis regimen for 28 days is currently prescribed to patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC as well as minimally invasive rectal cancer resection. This study aims to investigate all parts of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis, and thereby thromboembolic risk and potential bleeding in two groups of patients with different extent of surgical trauma: 1) Colorectal cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and 2) rectal cancer patients undergoing minimal invasive rectal cancer resection. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC are exposed to more aggravated alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis than patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer resection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peritoneal Metastases and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, run by University of Aarhus at 2 sites 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 10 inclusion and 2 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 29 May 2024. 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 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?

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?

The difference between changes in concentration of prothrombin fragment 1+2. (time frame: Data will be analyzed, assessed, and presented within three years.). 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 29 May 2024.
