Trial summary

The Intersphincteric resection (ISR) technique is an alternative for anal preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer. The transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) technique might compensate for the deficiencies of ISR in terms of tumor spillage and poor surgical field exposure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Value of Transanal Endoscopic Intersphincteric Resection (taE-ISR) in Extreme Anal Preservation in Ultra-low Rectal Cancer

The Intersphincteric resection (ISR) technique is an alternative for anal preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer. The transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) technique might compensate for the deficiencies of ISR in terms of tumor spillage and poor surgical field exposure. Thus, the investigators perform ISR through a transanal endoscopic approach (taE-ISR), seeking to evaluate the value of this innovative technique in anal preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. anal preservation rate

    No conversion to APR and closure was closed within 1 year after surgery

    Measured: 1 year after sugery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of Defecation disorders

    A Wexner score >10 indicated the existence of defecation dysfunction

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  2. incidence of positive distal resection margin

    A positive distal resection margin (DRM) was diagnosed with the presence of tumor cells within 1mm from the DRM

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer, run by Shanghai Minimally Invasive Surgery Center at 2 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 7 Mar 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 China. 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?

anal preservation rate (time frame: 1 year after sugery). 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 7 Mar 2024.
