New treatment option for Colon Cancer
Official title Effect of Perioperative Intravenous Infusion of Lidocaine on the Postoperative Course and the Immune Response in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Colon Cancer - the PILDI Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06923787
What this study is testing
What is Lidocaine?
Lidocaine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for colon cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- There are very few data in the literature on changes in inflammatory markers when lidocaine is administered perioperatively in patients with colorectal cancer. In patients undergoing surgery for colon cancer, the aim is to conduct a double-blind placebo-controlled study to determine differences in levels of pro-inflammatory markers, postoperative pain and opioid analgesic consumption in the first two days after surgery, and the time to first postoperative bowel movement.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug. You may not know which one you got.
