About this study

Official title: Quality Control Study for Multicenter Phase III Trial of Laparoscopic Sentinel Node Biopsy and Stomach Preserving Surgery in Early Gastric Cancer

Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in ealry gastric cancer is less invasive method which can increase quality of life. Multicenter phase III trial is requred to validate this method. In this study all items which are necessary for laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy are identified according to checklist and evaluated the performance completement.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Tc 99m HSA (Frosstimage), indocyanine green (IC-GREEN™ (Akorn)), laparoscopic probe (neoprobe® GDS gamma detection system)

    During the operation, endoscopic marking was perfomed using Tc 99m HSA and indocyanine green around tumor. Then we identify the sentinel lymph node with laparoscopic probe. Laparoscopic sentinel lymph nodes were dissedted and evaluated them at the backtable in the operating room.

Study groups in NCT01544413
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsyExperimentalThis is a single armed study. After endoscopic marking using Tc99m HSA and indocyanine green fluid, Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed and evalute at backtable.
Receives: Procedure: Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Completement of performance of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy

    Investigators will make out a checklist after operation for evaluating the completement of performance of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy. The checklist will be made out within 24 hours.

    Measured: within 24 hours after operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detection rate of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node, learning curve

    Detection rate of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node is evaluated within 7 days after operation by pathological examination. Learning curve can be drawn after all cases' data are collected, so it takes upto 2 years.

    Measured: upto 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy in people with Early Gastric Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 15 sites 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 7 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Completement of performance of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy (time frame: within 24 hours after operation). 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 16 Dec 2014.
