NCT06287671

Brief Summary

This observational study aims to test proteomics, metabolomics and proteoglycans as predictors of postoperative complications after colorectal surgery and as biomarkers of colorectal cancer. The main questions to answer are:

  • can these biomarkers predict anastomotic leakages
  • can these biomarkers predict recurrence after colorectal cancer
  • can these biomarkers be used as diagnostic tests for colorectal cancer
  • can these biomarkers be identified in the tumor Participants will undergo elective colorectal resection or stoma closure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Rate of anastomotic leakage diagnosed by CT-scan or reoperation

    Anastomotic leakage after colorectal resection with anastomosis or stoma closure

    30 days

  • Rate of major postoperative complications

    Major postoperative complication (Clavien-Dindo score 3B or higher, and DVT and pulmonary embolism) after colorectal resection with anastomosis or stoma closure

    30 days

  • Short-term mortality

    Postoperative mortality after colorectal resection with anastomosis or stoma closure

    90 days

  • Recurrence after colorectal cancer

    Recurrence after radical resection, diagnosed by imaging modalities or tissue biopsy

    4 years

  • Diagnostic value of omics and other biomarkers detecting colorectal cancer

    Identifying omics and chondroitin sulfate-modified proteoglycans that can be used i a clinical setting to identify colorectal cancer patients

    30 days

  • Correlation between biomarker in plasma and tissue

    Does presence of tumor markers in blood plasma correlate with the same tumor makers in the tumor tissue

    30 days

Study Population

Patients planned for elective colorectal surgery

You may qualify if:

  • Patients diagnosed or with suspicion of colorectal cancer or adenoma, inflammatory bowel disease, late complications to colon diverticulosis, colostomy reversal or other diagnoses requiring colorectal resection.
  • Patients planned to undergo elective surgical procedures coded as KJFB20-KJFB99, KJFG30-37 or KJGB00-97 according to the Danish modification of the NOMESCO Classification of Surgical Procedures
  • Able to speak Danish, English, or other languages where professional interpretation is available
  • Able to give informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients undergoing synchronous: liver resection (patients undergoing metastasectomies can be included); total gastrectomy or cardia resection; Whipple's procedure or another major pancreatic resection (resections of the pancreatic tail can be included); total or partial nephrectomies or cystectomy
  • Patients previously included in the study
  • Patients known to be pregnant (pregnancy test not required)
  • Non-resident in Denmark

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will not share

Results will be published by the investigators in academic journals. Sharing of generated study data will be carried out in several different ways. After acceptance from the participant and the ethics committee of the Capital Region of Denmark, individual participant data and blood plasma will be available to potential collaborators interested in colorectal disorders.
