Registration Number
NCT06584318
Lead Sponsor
Capital Medical University
Brief Summary

This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of intermittent hypoxia intervention on patients with colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

The hypoxic adaptive response is a form of acquired tolerance that occurs by activating internal cellular protective mechanisms and enhancing immune function.This technology was initially utilized in sports training and high-altitude medicine to enhance strength, endurance, and overall athletic performance, as well as to enhance the body's adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia. This technology was initially utilized in sports training and high-altitude medicine to enhance strength, endurance, and overall athletic performance, as well as to enhance the body's adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia.

Intermittent hypoxia (IH) refers to periodic hypoxic-normoxic training performed with brief exposure to hypoxia. Previous studies have found that short-term intermittent hypoxia can increase the sensitivity of hypoxia and reduce the severity of acute hypoxia injury, and alleviate acute hypoxia injury by reducing the inflammatory response caused by hypoxia. Intermittent hypoxia has been shown in our team's work to effectively inhibit colorectal cancer tumor progression in mice by enhancing immune cell function. This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of IH in patients with colorectal cancer using a non-randomized self-controlled trial.

patientsIntermittent hypoxia interventionParticipants will receive 14 times intermittent hypoxia (oxygen concentration: 13%) intervention before the surgery.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of adverse reactionsDuring the 7-day treatment

Adverse reactions included headache, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness and insomnia.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor MarkersThe day before the 7-day treatment ; the day of surgery (1-7days post the treatment)

Blood tumor markers will be detected by the immunochemiluminescence method.

Tumor ChangeThe day before the 7-day treatment ; the day of surgery (1-7days post the treatment)

Tumor Change will be detected by tumor cell HIF-1α and HIF-2α through immunohistochemistry.

CytokinesThe day before the 7-day treatment ; the day of surgery (1-7days post the treatment)

Cytokines will be detected by immune-related cytokines in peripheral blood.

Immune Cell InfiltrationThe day before the 7-day treatment ; the day of surgery (1-7days post the treatment)

Immune Cell Infiltration will be detected by observatiion of immune cell infiltration in tumor tissue.

SymptomsThe day before the 7-day treatment ; the day of surgery after the treatment;7 days after surgery

It is evaluated by completing the follow-up form.
