Multimodal Prehabilitation in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Postoperative complications can occur in up to 50% of individuals undergoing colorectal resection and are associated with poor prognosis, increased costs, and lower health-related quality of life. Even in the absence of complications, after major surgery, patients reduce their physiological and functional capacity by 20-40% and show a higher level of fatigue for 6-8 weeks. Many of these negative effects can be decreased by applying specific ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) programs which, by attenuating the neuro-endocrine response induced by surgical trauma, accelerate patients' post-operative convalescence and facilitate their return to functional activities. In this study, the research group hypothesizes that a prehabilitation program based on physical exercise, nutritional optimization and psychological support (trimodal) carried out by patients in the 4 weeks before elective colorectal resection surgery can determine: 1) better physical performance 8 weeks after surgery (measured by the 6-minute walk test), 2) a possible decrease in postoperative complications, and 3) a reduction in in-hospital (direct) and post-hospital discharge (indirect) costs.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to determine the effect of prehabilitation on patients' functional capacity and postoperative complications. It is a randomized trial including 112 patients undergoing colorectal surgery for cancer. Patients will be allocated to intervention group receiving 4 weeks trimodal prehabilitation (N=56) or control group receiving no prehabilitation (N=56). After surgery, both groups will follow 8 weeks rehabilitation based on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines. The primary endpoint is functional capacity, secondary outcomes include postoperative complications and a cost-effectiveness analysis. Multimodal prehabilitation is expected to increase functional capacity and lower postoperative complications. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
