About this study

Official title: Analysis of Surgical and Oncologic Outcomes After Compete Mesocolic Excision or Non-complete Mesocolic Excision for Right-Sided Colon Cancer

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of a modified D3 lymphadenectomy approach compared to Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) in patients with right-sided colon cancer. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does a modified D3 approach improve disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with Stage I-III right-sided colon cancer who undergo right-sided colectomy, without increasing surgical complications compared to CME?

Patients with right-sided colon cancer, Stage I-III, who undergo either modified D3 lymphadenectomy or CME as part of their standard treatment, will have their DFS, complications, bleeding volume, number of lymph nodes harvested, and stage distribution compared over a follow-up period. This study ultimately aims to determine the optimal surgical approach for maximizing oncologic outcomes in right-sided colon cancer.

Read the detailed description

This observational, population-based, cohort study was conducted following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Approval was obtained from the institutional review board (IRB) of the primary institution and the ethics committees of each participating institution in the Republic of Korea. Given that the study utilized anonymized data retrospectively, the need for informed consent was waived.

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified D3 lymphadenectomy compared to Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) in patients with right-sided colon cancer. Patients with right-sided colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robotic right hemicolectomy from 2013 to 2020 were included. Patients were classified into those who received modified D3 lymphadenectomy or CME, and the study assessed disease-free survival (DFS), surgical complications, bleeding volume, lymph node yield, and stage distribution.

Data collection was carried out at multiple tertiary medical centers across the Republic of Korea, ensuring a broad representation of patient demographics and clinical practices. The participating institutions included Asan Medical Center, Korea University Anam Hospital, Severance Hospital, and Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital. These centers vary in location and size, enhancing the study's generalizability within the context of right-sided colon cancer management in Korea.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence free survival

    Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) between patients who underwent modified D3 and CME procedures from 2013 to 2020.

    Measured: Outcome measures will be assessed at 5 years post-surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of complication rates between modified D3 and complete mesocolic excision

    This study will compare the complication rates between modified D3 (mD3) lymphadenectomy and Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME).

    Measured: The outcomes will be assessed to determine if any events occurred post-surgery up to October 2024

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Cancer and Laparoscopic Colon Surgery, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 20 Nov 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 South Korea. 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?

Recurrence free survival (time frame: Outcome measures will be assessed at 5 years post-surgery.). 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 Nov 2024.
