Randomized Prospective Trial for Laparoscopic vs Open Resection for Rectal Cancer
Link to the ClinicalTrials.gov recordInformation obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on February 23, 2012
Title of trial/grant titleRandomized Prospective Trial for Laparoscopic vs Open Resection for Rectal Cancer
Current status of trialActive, not recruiting
Sponsors and collaboratorsNational Cancer Center, Korea
Information provided byNational Cancer Center, Korea
ClinicalTrials.gov identifierNCT00470951
PurposeThe investigators designed the randomized prospective trial of comparing open and
laparoscopic resection in locally advanced rectal cancer after preoperative chemoradiation
in order to determine the oncologic and functional efficacy of laparoscopic rectal
resection.
Condition(s)Rectal Cancer
Intervention(s)Procedure: open rectal resection
Procedure: Laproscopic rectal resection
PhasePhase III
Study type and designAllocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official titleA Comparison for Laparoscopically Assisted and Open Surgery for Advanced Rectal Cancer After Preoperative Chemoradiation- Randomized Prospective Trial
Further study details1. Title: A comparison for laparoscopically assisted and open surgery for advanced rectal
cancer after preoperative chemoradiation - randomized prospective trial

2. Principal investigator: Jae Hwan Oh Co-investigator: Seung Yong Jeong, Hyo Seong Choi,
Seok-Byung Lim, Sung Bum Kang

3. Purpose of the study: To compare efficacy of laparoscopic and open resection for
locally advanced rectal cancer after preoperative chemoradiation

4. Specific aims

1. comparison of oncologic outcomes

2. comparison of quality of life

3. comparison of anorectal function

5. Materials Rectal cancer <9cm from anal verge, measured by rigid sigmoidoscopy
histologically proven adenocarcinoma locally advanced (T3), determined by CT,
transrectal ultrasonography, MRI without any contraindication for general
anesthesia,operation and chemoradiation Completion of preoperative chemoradiation

6. Statistics

1. Sample size calculation for non-inferiority trial estimated 3yr-DFS:75%, survival
difference: 10% power = 0.90, significance level=0.05, 10% expected loss of F/U
304 + 30 = 334 -> 340

2. Disease free survival Kaplan-Meier method Log-rank test

3. QOL and anorectal function Mean and 95% confidence interval

7. Methods

1. operation time of operation : 6-8 weeks after end of preoperative chemoradiation
surgical technique standard total mesorectal excision and high ligation of
inferior mesenteric vessels

2. preoperative chemoradiation chemotherapy: 2 cycles of 5-FU (400 mg/m2/day) + LV
(20 mg/m2/day) IV bolus, for 3 days in 1st & 5th wks of RT or Capecitabine 825
mg/m2 p.o. bid during RT RT:45 Gy/ 25 fractions to the pelvis, 5.4 Gy/ 3 fractions
boost to the primary tumor over 5.5 wks

3. postoperative chemotherapy 4 cycles of 5-FU (400 mg/m2/day) + LV (20 mg/m2/day) IV
bolus, for 5 days, 4 wks interval

4. oncologic outcomes Short-term outcomes Surgical length of incision op time blood
