It is a first-in-human study which will demonstrate the safety of post-operative endoscopic assessment of a colorectal anastomosis and provide preliminary data in order to power future interventional studies.\n\n100 patients undergoing elective left colonic or rectal resection with a primary anastomosis will be recruited pre-operatively throughout the study period. This study will not affect or delay the intended treatment for study participants.\n\nPatients will undergo serial endoscopic examination of the anastomosis post-operatively. Blood, urine, stool, and mucosal biopsies will be serially collected.\n\nA subgroup of 20 patients with a defunctioning ileostomy will be recruited to an interventional arm. This interventional arm will demonstrate the safety of re-introducing ileostomy effluent into the downstream (distal) limb of an ileostomy. The preliminary data will enable exploration of the association between microbiome and post-operative function and enable adequate powering of future interventional studies.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nPatients undergoing elective left sided colonic or rectal resections with primary anastomosis with or without diverting ileostomy.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inability to communicate in English\n* People who lack capacity to consent\n* Emergency colorectal resection whilst awaiting elective surgery\n* Age \\<18\n* Permanent stoma formation\n* People on long term immunosuppressive medication\n* People on long term renal replacement therapy.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04740957', 'briefTitle': 'Characterising the Natural History of Mucosal Metabolism During Colorectal Anastomotic Healing', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Imperial College London'}, 'officialTitle': 'Characterising the Natural History of Mucosal Metabolism During Colorectal Anastomotic Healing', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'IRAS 246354'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Observational cohort', 'description': '100 patients undergoing elective left colonic or rectal resection with a primary anastomosis will be recruited pre-operatively throughout the study period.
