About this study

Official title: Prophylactic Mesh Placement During Temporary Stoma Closure: a Prospective Randomized Phase III Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of using polypropylene mesh for hernia prevention after stoma closure in patients with colorectal cancer and non-mesh repair. The main question it aims to answer is: can mesh help prevent hernia? Participants will be divided into 2 groups: with and without mesh using. They must be followed up for 2 years after enrollment in the study.

Researchers will compare mesh and non-mesh groups to evaluate the benefits and harms of mesh using in hernia prevention.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is prospective randomized phase III study of the efficacy of polypropylene mesh for hernia prevention after stoma closure in patients with colorectal cancer. We will include in the study group 71 patients with colorectal cancer with ileo- and colostomy. In these patients we will do sublay/interoblique repair in prevention incisional hernias using polypropylene mesh. Our hypothesis is to reduce parastomal hernias rate from 30% to 10% over 2 years. Stratification will be used for patients with >5 cm vs <5 cm stoma-site hernia.

The control group will include 71 patients with similar parameters who will undergo stoma closure with layered ligature suturing of the abdominal wall without mesh implantation.

Additional endpoints are the wound infection rate, the complication rate (Clavien-Dindo), the rate of the repeated surgery for hernia at the site of stoma closure. We'll assess the quality of life by HerQLes (Hernia-Related Quality of Life Survey) scale.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • meshProcedure or surgery

    Also called polypropylene mesh

    We'll use mesh repair for prevention of stoma-site hernias in the study group.

  • non-meshProcedure or surgery

    We'll use the layered ligature suturing of the abdominal wall without mesh implantation in the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. hernia rate

    The rate of parastomal hernias after stoma closure for 2 years.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 90 day surgical morbidity

    Complications after stoma closure including hernias

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Quality of life indicators by HerQLes scale

    Quality of life as assessed by Hernia-Related Quality of Life Survey scale (HerQLes) at 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after stoma closure (higher scores are worse)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing mesh and non-mesh in people with Neoplasms Malignant and Rectal Cancer, run by Blokhin's Russian Cancer Research Center at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2024. 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 Russia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sergey Gordeyev, D.Sc. (9104501213 ext. 007, ss.netoncology@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hernia rate (time frame: 2 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 7 Aug 2024.
