New study aims to predict recovery from Radiation-Induced rectal damage
NCT ID NCT07378631
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will follow 150 people with radiation rectal injury to see if different subtypes of the condition lead to different outcomes. Researchers will collect medical records, endoscopy images, and test results but will not change any treatments. The goal is to fill gaps in knowledge and help doctors better diagnose and manage this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better ways to classify and predict outcomes for radiation rectal injury, helping doctors tailor treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a new treatment. Results may not directly improve patient care and could be limited by the small sample size.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of prospectively recruited adult patients clinically diagnosed with chronic radiation enteropathy at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The inclusion criteria are: age between 18 and 80 years, and a clinical confirmation of chronic radiation enteropathy. Patients who are currently undergoing cancer therapy or who have experienced tumor recurrence or metastasis are excluded. This study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and has been approved by the hospital's Ethics Committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to their enrollment.
