Laparoscopic Assisted Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer in Low Site (LATERAL-01)

August 28, 2018 updated by: Zhongtao Zhang, Beijing Friendship Hospital

Laparoscopic Assisted transAnal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal cAncer in Low Site :A Prospective,Multi-center, Patients Registry Trial in China (LATERAL Trial)

At present, surgical resection is still the main treatment for the potential cure of rectal cancer. Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard. The traditional laparoscopic or open surgery for some special patients is really difficult, especially for male, prostate hypertrophy, obesity, low tumor and pelvic stenosis patients to expose the gap around the mesorectum and separate to the pelvic floor. While transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) approach could be more directly separate the low mesorectum and relatively simple to complete distal rectal transection, which would bring some considerable advantages. Although active learning from abroad, laparoscopic assisted TaTME surgery is now in its infancy in China. It is urgent for clinical studies to obtain the results in China. This multicenter, observational study will help to encourage research in this field and to obtain data on the safety and efficacy of this procedure in Chinese patients with rectal cancer.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positive rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) of the specimens
Time Frame: 10 days after surgery
Circumferential resection margin (CRM) is the distance between the deepest point of tumor in the primary cancer and the margin of resection in the retroperitoneum or mesentery by pathological examination. CRM 0-1mm is defined as positive, while >1mm is negative.
10 days after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The grade score of the specimens integrity
Time Frame: 10 days after surgery
shows the quality of the specimens: grade 1 is bad gross specimen which means incomplete mesorectum and pelvic fascia, and muscle layer can be see >5mm; grade 3 is high quality gross specimen, which means the specimen is cylindrical, mesorectum and pelvic fascia are complete; grade 2 is between 1and 3.
10 days after surgery
The distance between lower tumor margin and the lower reaction margin
Time Frame: 10 days after surgery
shows the oncological safety of the surgery by pathological examination. Reports should contain the distance between lower tumor margin and the lower reaction margin.
10 days after surgery
local recurrence rate
Time Frame: 3 years after surgery
show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.
3 years after surgery
the operative time
Time Frame: 30 days after surgery
preoperative safety containing operation information, complication information.
30 days after surgery
postoperative hospital stay
Time Frame: 3 year after surgery
recovery information.
3 year after surgery
the score of postoperative life
Time Frame: 6 months after surgery
quality of life contains two scales: Wexner scale and EORTC QLQ-CR29 scale, which show quality of life and the anal function.
6 months after surgery
disease free survival rate
Time Frame: 3-year after surgery
show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.
3-year after surgery
overall survival rate
Time Frame: 3-year after surgery
show the oncological efficacy by 3-year follow-up according to the NCCN guideline. Participants should report every follow-up examinations which prove tumor recurrence and/or metastasis or not.
3-year after surgery
the rate of postoperative complications
Time Frame: 30 days after surgery
preoperative safety containing operation information, complication information.
