Trial summary

The choice of surgical strategy for patients with proximal gastric cancer is controversial mainly because proximal gastrectomy is infamous for high rates of reflux symptoms and anastomotic stricture. but there are no prospective randomized trials until now. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase III Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial of Laparoscopy-assisted Proximal Gastrectomy (LAPG) and Laparoscopy-assisted Total Gastrectomy (LATG) for Upper Gastric Cancer. (Multicenter Study)

The choice of surgical strategy for patients with proximal gastric cancer is controversial mainly because proximal gastrectomy is infamous for high rates of reflux symptoms and anastomotic stricture. but there are no prospective randomized trials until now.

The primary end point of this study is whether the rate of reflux esophagitis is different or not between LAPG and LATG. Through this study, we

Read the detailed description

Prospective Randomized Clinical Trials between Laparoscopy-assisted Proximal Gastrectomy and Laparoscopy-assisted Total Gastrectomy.

LAPG reconstruction: double tract reconstruction (3 anastomosis, intracorporeal Roux-en Y esophago-jejunostomy, extracorporeal gastro-jejunostomy 10cm below esophago-jejunostomy,extracorporeal jejuno-jejunostomy 20cm below gastro-jejunostomy)

LATG reconstruction: intracorporeal Roux-en Y esophago-jejunostomy

Primary end point : incidence of reflux esophagitis after operation

Sample Size : LAPG 97 cases, LATG 97 cases (p1=0.018 p2=0.018, a=0.05, b=0.80) Non-inferiority test, non-inferior margin (delta) : 0.05. Sample size calculated by our MRCC(Medical Research Collaborating Center, http://mrcc.snubh.org)

Study duration : 48 months (enrollment 36months, follow-up 12months)

Reflux esophagitis evaluation methods

  1. Ambulatory 24hr-pH esophageal holter monitoring for acid reflux
  2. DISIDA scan for bile reflux
  3. Endoscopic evaluation (Grading according to LA classification)
  4. Visick score (subjective symptoms)
  5. EORTC sto 22 and GIQLI evaluation (Quality of Life)
  6. Nutritional Benefits (Body weight, Triceps Skin folds Thickness, Blood test)
  7. Upper gastrointestinal study
  8. Gastric emptying scan

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of reflux esophagitis

    Comprehesive evaulation by 24hr pH monitoring, DISIDA scan, Endoscopic evaluation according to LA classification and Visick score

    Measured: postoperative 3 month

  2. Rate of reflux esophagitis

    Comprehesive evaulation by 24hr pH monitoring, DISIDA scan, Endoscopic evaluation according to LA classification and Visick score

    Measured: postoperative 6 month

  3. Rate of reflux esophagitis

    Comprehesive evaulation by 24hr pH monitoring, DISIDA scan, Endoscopic evaluation according to LA classification and Visick score

    Measured: postoperative 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: We planed to study later). 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?

Rate of reflux esophagitis (time frame: postoperative 3 month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Jan 2017.
