Trial summary

Surgery can increase IL-6 cytokines, triggering inflammation and metastasis. The combination of general and epidural anesthesia has the potential to suppress IL-6, improve the tumor microenvironment, provide analgesia, and enhance postoperative recovery. Read more about this study

About this study

Surgery can increase IL-6 cytokines, triggering inflammation and metastasis. The combination of general and epidural anesthesia has the potential to suppress IL-6, improve the tumor microenvironment, provide analgesia, and enhance postoperative recovery.

Objectives :To compare the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia quality in colorectal cancer patients receiving general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be divided into 2 groups: Group P (treatment) and Group K (control).

Before anesthesia, 2-3 mL of blood will be collected by the researcher from patients in both groups using a red tube.

Patients in the control group will undergo conventional general anesthesia. Patients in the treatment group will undergo conventional general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia. Patients will be administered 0.25% Bupivacaine local anesthetic incrementally until the desired volume is achieved based on the targeted segmental block height.

Six hours postoperatively, 2-3 mL of blood will be collected, VAS (Visual Analog Scale) will be assessed 24 hours postoperatively, and QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15) will be evaluated postoperatively.

What participants receive

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

  • General Anesthesia (control group)Procedure or surgery

    The patient will undergo conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg BW, propofol 2-3 ml/kg BW, and muscle relaxants for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg BW or rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg BB. After that the patient will be intubated

  • General Anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    The patient will undergo epidural anesthesia first with an epidural catheter inserted through a Tuohy needle and ensuring that the length of the multihole epidural catheter that enters the epidural space is 5-6 cm. After that, the patient underwent conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg BW, propofol 2-3 ml/kg BW, and muscle relaxants for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg BW or rocuronium 0.6 mg/ kg BW. After that the patient will be intubated. The patient will be given local anesthesia Bupivacaine 0.25% in increments to the desired volume according to the desired height of the segmental block. Local anesthetic medication will be given intermittently every 2 hours

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control Group : Conventinal General AnesthesiaActive comparatorPatients in the control group will undergo conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg body weight, propofol 2-3 mg/kg body weight, and a muscle relaxant for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg body weight or rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg body weight. Afterward, the patient will undergo intubation. Before anesthesia, 2-3 mL of blood will be collected. After the operation is complete the patient will be extubated and blood samples will be taken 6 hours after surgery, VAS (Visual Analog Scale) will be assessed 24 hours postoperatively, and QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15) will be evaluated postoperatively. The patient will be given opioid analgesics (Morphine dose 0.5-1 mg/hour given continuously or Fentanyl dose 10-50/hour mcg given continuously), Ketorolac 30 mg every 8 hours intravenously and Paracetamol 500 mg every 6 hours orally

The patietn will be given Epidural analgesic Bupivacaine 0.1% + Morphine 0.5 mg volume 10 mL every 12 hours, Ketorolac 30 mg every 8 hours + Paracetamol 500 mg every 6 hours orally
Receives: Procedure: General Anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduce Interleukin 6 differences

    Interleukin 6 will be collected before surgery and 6 hours after surgery by the anesthesiologist in the Operating theatre.

    Measured: before surgery and 6 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Reduce VAS pain scale

    VAS scale will be collected by the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 Hours

  2. Increase Quality of Recovery - 15

    QOR-15 score will be collected by the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing General Anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia in people with Inflammation Biomarkers and Quality of Recovery (QoR-15), run by Udayana University at 1 site in Indonesia.

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2025. 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 Indonesia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

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?

Reduce Interleukin 6 differences (time frame: before surgery and 6 hours after 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 Jan 2025.
