Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of a resorbable barrier membrane for the prevention of abdominal and peri-hepatic adhesion in patients with colorectal cancer requiring two-stage surgery for the resection of hepatic metastases.

Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 arms:

* Seprafilm group (receiving resorbable barrier membrane during the first surgery)
* No-treatment control group (without seprafilm barrier during the first surgery)

The primary objective is to establish, in patients with colorectal cancer requiring two-stage surgery for the resection of hepatic metastases, the efficiency of a resorbable barrier membrane (Seprafilm) for limiting abdominal and peri-hepatic adhesion during the second operation.

This study is a prospective multicentric phase II, controlled, randomized and non comparative trial.

A total of 60 patients will be enrolled: 45 will receive Seprafilm whereas 15 will be assigned to the no-treatment control group. The inclusion period should be approximately 18 months. The follow up period after the second surgery will be 3 years.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

During and after the 1st surgical procedure To evaluate immediate complications (during surgery), early complications (during post-surgery hospitalization) and late complications (between 1st and 2nd surgeries) in relation with operating procedure and use of resorbable membrane.

During and after the 2nd surgical procedure

* To evaluate abdominal and peri-hepatic adhesion (at the site of the 1st surgery), with qualitative and quantitative description.
* To evaluate intestinal adhesion (in the small intestine), with quantitative description.
* To evaluate immediate complications (during surgery), early complications (during post-surgery hospitalization) and late complications (in the month following the intervention) in relation with operating procedure.
* To evaluate post-operative rehabilitation
* To assess tumour evolution in patients over a period of 3 years after the 2nd surgery.
