Study information

Study designRandomised, double-blind, active controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymTRANSIT-study
Study objectivesThat minimal invasive laparoscopic surgery and/or multimodal patient care (fast-track) can prevent post-operative ileus and/or improve post-surgical gastrointestinal motility compared to open surgery and/or conventional patient care.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedColorectal cancer
InterventionLaparoscopic surgery and fast-track peri-operative care. At the start and at the end of the surgical procedure peritoneal lavage fluid and blood samples are collected. Cytokine levels in these samples will be determined and cells will be isolated. 24 hours post-operative a labeled test-meal will be administered orally. Abdominal scans will be made 2, 24 and 48 hours after intake of the test-meal.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureGastrointestinal transit
Secondary outcome measures1. Clinical evaluation (passage of first stool, passage of first flatus, time till normal oral food-intake, time till discharge)
2. Intra-abdominal inflammatory status
Overall study start date01/09/2005
Completion date01/07/2007
