Other Clinical Trial - The Orange-III Trial: Optimised Recovery With

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to accelerate recovery after liver surgery by enhancing intestinal passage through the preoperative use of Movicol.

Hypothesis The use of Movicol® during one week prior to partial liver resection combined with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) programme accelerates functional recovery by promoting early return of gastro-intestinal function, defined as the passage of stools and early oral intake.

Clinical Trial Description

Rationale:

The routine use of laxatives after liver surgery as part of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) programme enhances recovery of gastro-intestinal function and early tolerance of oral nutrition. The use of Macrogol (Movicol®) as laxative during one week prior to partial liver resection will further enhance early return of gastro-intestinal function and accelerate functional recovery.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to accelerate recovery after liver surgery by enhancing intestinal passage through the preoperative use of Movicol®

Study design:

The Orange-III trial is a multicentre randomised controlled trial to aim whether the administration of 1 sachet of Movicol® during one week preoperatively and 2 sachets of Movicol® postoperatively will further enhance early recovery compared to the administration of 2 sachets of Movicol® postoperatively only, following liver surgery. All patients will be managed within an ERAS® programme of perioperative care.

Study population:

Patients requiring a partial liver resection (two or more segments), 18-80 yr old.

Main study parameters/endpoints:

The main objective of the Orange-III trial is to provide evidence on early recovery of gastro-intestinal function defined as time to first intake of solid food continued for more than 24 hours after the use of Movicol® during one week prior to partial liver resection within an enhanced recovery programme. Secondary objectives are recovery of gastro-intestinal function defined as time to first stools and time to continuous intake of clear fluids for more than 24 hours, functional recovery, hospital length of stay and patient activity level. ;

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.
