About this study

Official title: Perioperative Management of Preoperative Anemia in Colorectal Cancer. Effect of Intravenous Iron Treatment Within a Patient Blood Management on Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Both preoperative anemia (PA) and perioperative blood transfusion can contribute on poorer outcomes after colon cancer surgery. Anemia is known to be associated with a slower recovery after surgery thus often worsening short-term results, and allogenic red blood cells transfusion (ARBT) are known to promote systemic inflammatory response and affect overall and cancer-specific survival.

Patient Blood Management (PBM) systems are an evidence-based multimodal approach focused on safe and rational use of blood products, mainly through a proper PA assessment, a minimization of procedural blood loos and strict transfusion policies. Given the high prevalence of PA in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and its association with adverse events, it is expected that PBM implementation in said scenario carries a decrease in complications and an improved survival rate. Available literature to date supports preoperative anaemia screening and restrictive transfusion policies, nevertheless barriers exist that limit the expected implementation of PBM systems in colorectal surgery.

The present study aims to evaluate feasibility of a PBM pathway implementation in a high-volume CRC Surgery Unit based on completion of anemia screening and treatment before surgery and changes of allogenic products use along the years. The objective is to estimate the impact of a proper preoperative optimization with iron intravenous infusion (IVI) on PA measured from changes Hemoglobin (Hb) levels in comparison to those of non-anemic patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06026618
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
cohort 1non-anemic patients (Hb > 13 g/dL)
cohort 2mildly anemic patients (Hb 12-13 mg/dL) without criteria for IVI therapy
cohort 3patients treated with IVI (Hb < 12mg/dL or Hb 12-13mg/dL with iron deficiency or risk factors for bleeding)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Hemoglobin

    Change in serum hemoglobin concentration between baseline (at the moment of initial colorectal clinic visit) and day of surgery

    Measured: Baseline and up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total iron dose

    Total iron dose administered from the first visit until surgery

    Measured: up to 30 days

  2. number of days needed to complete treatment

    days of treatment before surgery

    Measured: up to 30 days

  3. number of complications related to IVI administration

    number of complications related to IVI administration

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia and Colorectal Cancer, run by Consorci Sanitari Integral 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 2 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 7 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?

Change in Hemoglobin (time frame: Baseline and up to 30 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 7 Sep 2023.
