AB  - BACKGROUND: Cancer recurrence after curative cancer surgery significantly impacts patients and healthcare services. Before surgery, a small number of clinically undetectable circulating tumour cells are often present. The surgical stress response promotes the distribution and proliferation of circulating tumour cells leading to cancer recurrence and metastasis. Preclinical evidence suggests that lidocaine may exert 'anti-cancer' effects and alleviate pro-metastatic environments. The Feasibility Study of Lidocaine Infusion During Bowel Cancer Surgery for Cancer Outcome (FLICOR) will assess the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial on perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion for postoperative colorectal cancer outcomes. METHODS: The study is a double-blinded, randomised, controlled pilot study for a full trial comparing intravenous lidocaine administration at 1.5 mg kg-1 bolus followed by 1.5 mg kg-1 h-1 infusion for 24 h with placebo in patients undergoing minimally invasive (laparoscopy or robotic) colorectal cancer surgery. The feasibility of data collection instruments will be measured, including those for future economic evaluation and clinical and patient-reported outcomes. For the exploratory outcomes, blood samples will be collected before and after surgery on days 0, 1, and 3. Recruitment is planned for two NHS Trusts over 6 months with a 12-month follow-up. Patients and clinicians will be asked for their feedback on the study process. DISSEMINATION PLAN: Study data will be disseminated to trial participants, the public, and academic communities. The work will be presented at national and international conferences to stimulate interest and enthusiasm for centres to participate in the future definitive trial. This research will also be published in peer-reviewed open-access journals. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN29594895 (ISRCTN), NCT05250791 (ClinicalTrials.gov). PROTOCOL VERSION NUMBER AND DATE: 3.0, February 8, 2023.
