About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Multicenter Study of Anastomotic Leakage After Colon Cancer Surgery (ANACO II).

Anastomotic leak (AL) is one of the most feared complications after colon cancer (CC) surgery. The incidence varies according to the studies, the definition used and the location of the excised segment.

In some of the series described, AL incidence have hardly changed, despite the evolution of the technique and technological improvements. The leak rate obtained in the only Spanish prospective multicenter observational study at national level was 9% (ANACO study).

The aim of the present study is to determine the current rate of AL in our country, 10 years after the ANACO study, to determine if there has been any evolution and to analyze the factors associated with it. For this purpose, AL is defined with the same criteria as in the first study, as leakage of luminal contents through the junction between two hollow visceras, diagnosed radiologically (radiography with soluble enema or CT with collection adjacent to the anastomosis), clinically (extravasation of luminal contents or gas through the wound or drainage), endoscopically or intraoperatively. To compare AL rates throughout this decade, a 60-day follow-up will be performed, the same as in the ANACO study.

As a modification respect to the ANACO study protocol, the aim is to analyze the possible influence of AL and perioperative intra-abdominal infection on short-term oncologic prognosis, with a one-year follow-up. This question has hardly been studied in prospective multicenter studies to date.

The variables to be collected are divided into demographic (information about the hospital center, patient comorbidities), diagnostic variables (analytical values, diagnostic reason, neoadjuvant, localization, TNM), surgical variables (type of surgery, preparation, intention, intraoperative findings and complications, type of resection and anastomosis), admission (AL, other complications), histology, 60-day follow-up (AL, readmissions), one-year follow-up (readmissions, local recurrence, peritoneal and distant recurrence).

Patients included in the study must be >18 years old undergoing oncologic surgery for CC located 15 cm above the anal margin, with preoperative histological confirmation or with endoscopic suspicion of infiltrating lesion or with radiological suspicion in the context of urgent surgery. Intestinal continuity (anastomosis) should be reconstructed and a derivative stoma should not be associated in the same surgery. According to ANACO data and follow-up times according to the primary objective (AL) at 60 days and the secondary objective (oncologic prognosis) with annual follow-up, inclusion will be carried out until the 1628 individuals required according to the sample size calculation performed are included.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adult Patients and Intestinal Continuity (Anastomosis), run by Hospital San Carlos, Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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 22 Sep 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Anastomotic leak (time frame: 60 days). 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 Sep 2023.
