About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial of Laparoscopic Versus Open Gastrectomy for Advanced Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the short- and long-term results between the laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and the open gastrectomy.

Read the detailed description

Background: The use of laparoscopic surgery in the management of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) has not yet met with widespread acceptance and remains limited to only a few centers.

Intervention: According to tumor pathological stage (JGCA, 2nd English ed), location of tumor, and patient clinical condition, a laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy and open gastrectomy were performed. Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy consisted of the following procedures: 1) laparoscopic dissection of the lesser and greater omentum, ligation and division of the main vessels to mobilize the stomach under pneumoperitoneum, 2) laparoscopic D2 lymph node dissection, based on the Guidelines of the Japan Gastric Cancer Association and 3) resection of the distal two thirds (LADG), proximal third (LAPG), or total stomach (LATG), depending on the location of the tumor, followed by reconstruction by the Billroth I, Billroth Ⅱ, esophagogastrostomy, or Roux-en-Y method through a 3 to 5-cm-long minilaparotomy incision.

Follow-up schedule: All patients were monitored postoperatively by physical examination, and blood tests including a test for serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) at least every three months for the first year, every six months for the next two years, and every year for the fourth and fifth year, and thereafter by abdominal ultrasonography, CT, chest radiography, and gastroscopy at least once each year.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    A 10-mm trocar for laparoscope was inserted below the umbilicus. Another 10-mm trocar was introduced in the left preaxillary line 2 cm below the costal margin as a major hand port,and a 5-mm trocar was placed at the contralateral site for traction. A 5-mm trocar was inserted in the left midclavicular line 2 cm above the umbilicus as an accessory port, and a 15-mm trocar also as an accessory port was placed at the contralateral site. The operator stood on the left side of the patient. Subtotal or total gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection will be performed basically. As a general rule, Billroth I, Billroth II or Roux-Y method was used for gastric reconstruction. Dissected stomach and lymph node are collected through additional 5 cm incision at a median superior abdominal incision.

  • Open gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Approximately 15~20 cm length incision is made from falciform process to periumbilical area. Subtotal or total gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection will be performed basically. As a general rule, Billroth I, Billroth II or Roux-Y method was used for gastric reconstruction for all cases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and Open gastrectomy in people with Stomach Neoplasm and Laparoscopy, run by Yan Shi at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2012.
