NCT ID NCT07432399
First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) or high-dose dexamethasone (a strong anti-inflammatory) during colon cancer surgery can help the immune system recover better afterward. About 100 adults having colon cancer surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of these treatments or a placebo. The goal is to see which approach reduces inflammation and improves recovery, without needing long-term medication.
