Trial summary

The purpose of this trial is to study the relationship between the angiogenic response to surgical aggression, determined through the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on postoperative day four, and the tumor recurrence in patients with colon cancer operated with a curative intention.

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Serum VEGF Concentration as an Independent Prognostic Factor for Recurrence After Curative Colon Cancer Surgery. Multicentric Study.

The purpose of this trial is to study the relationship between the angiogenic response to surgical aggression, determined through the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on postoperative day four, and the tumor recurrence in patients with colon cancer operated with a curative intention.

DESIGN: Prospective multicentric study.

PARTICIPATION: Colorectal Surgery Units of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona; Hospital Universitari Joan XXIII, Tarragona; Hospital Universitari La Fe, Valencia; Hospital Clínico San Carlos, Madrid; Hospital General de Granollers, Granollers; Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Badalona; Athalaia, Xarxa Assistencial Universitària de Manresa, Manresa

STUDY SUBJECTS: 280 consecutive patients with non-metastatic colon cancer in whom a curative intent resection is performed.

DETERMINATIONS: Determination of the proangiogenic cytokine VEGF in serum on the postoperative day four to assess its relationship with oncological results on long-term follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Angiogenesis and Colon Cancer, run by Hospital del Mar.

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 4 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 20 Apr 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

VEGF in serum on postop day 4 (time frame: Postoperative day 4). 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 20 Apr 2021.
