NCT ID NCT07208786
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing a special sponge with suction at the surgical site right after colorectal cancer surgery can prevent dangerous leaks from the new connection. About 110 adults having planned colorectal cancer surgery will be randomly assigned to get this extra treatment or standard care. The main goal is to see if fewer leaks happen within 30 days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
endoscopic vacuum therapy device (sponge and suction tube)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to prevent a serious complication after colorectal cancer surgery, reducing leaks and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (110 patients) testing a device, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure itself carries risks like bleeding or infection.
