Brief Summary:
national and multi-center trial for medical therapy of chronic radiation proctitis inducing anorectal bleedings

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Proctitis Radiation Drug: MMPF (Micronized purified Flavonoid-Fraction) Other: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Radiation proctitis is an inflammation of rectal mucosa, a complication following radiation therapy for cancers of the prostate, cervix, uterus, bladder and other malignancies in the pelvic area. Around 20 % of radiation patients develop radiation proctitis. There is a significant lack of trial treatments for radiation proctitis, even more, the studies often are small and single center designed or case series. In 2 recent reviews pointing out the management of radiation proctitis (2018 and 2016) a summary of current options in therapy according to current scientific knowledge is given. Unfortunately, these studies are about interventional options with the serious risk of complication. Only little data and lack of significance in smaller series on conservative strategies are given.

The goal of the trial is to implement a specific medication in the management and every grade of radiation proctitis - concomitant to eventual need of MMPF is described with potent anti-inflammatory mucosal capacity reducing bleeding, pain and urgency symptoms in patients with hemorrhoidal and/or postoperative symptoms. By using a placebo instead of comparative oral medications (with low evidence) this study might illustrate clinical significance of expected results as well as information on the natural history of radiation proctitis.

The goal of the study is to compare the number of necessary interventions required to stop bleeding in chronic radiation proctitis in patients receiving MMPF in comparison to patients in the control group receiving Placebo within 12 months of medical treatment.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of necessary intervention [ Time Frame: Day 1- Day 360 ]
    Interventions to stop acute bleeding by chronic radiation proctitis: surgical, endoscopic or proctoscopic interventions


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Quality of life of patients [ Time Frame: Day 0 Day 180 Day 360 ]
    Differences in quality of life of patients will be measured with evaluation of two questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C30 & PRT20). Higher scores mean a better quality of life.

  2. Blood samples [ Time Frame: Day 0-Day 360 ]
    Differences in serum hemoglobin, thrombocytes, coagulation parameters (quick/pt=prothrombin time)

  3. Stool [ Time Frame: Day 0-Day 360 ]
    Differences in calprotectin stool level

  4. Presence of histological alterations [ Time Frame: Day 0-Day 360 ]
    Differences in histological alterations (distortion of crypts, Inflammation of crypts, fibrosis and ectasia of vessels, cytokines)
