About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Study for Early Recovery After Gastric Cancer Surgery

Study preparation

  • To progress this prospective study, the investigators analyzed the retrospective data of 426 patients who had been managed with conventional critical pathway after gastric cancer surgery during last 1 year.
  • Through this retrospective analysis, we decided the inclusion criteria which showed significantly the lower complication rate and shorter hospital stay.

Method for Prospective study

  • Patients who enroll in this prospective study are administered and are supplied a liquid diet one day before surgery without bowel preparation.
  • After gastric cancer surgery, they start sips of water on postoperative first day, and they are discharged once they exhibit at least three times soft diet without specific complaint and had normal clinical status and physical examination.
Read the detailed description

Enrollment of patients

  • Before the patients are enrolled in this study, they give us informed consents.
  • A liquid diet is supplied beginning from the morning of the day prior to operation to the midnight.

Operation and postoperative management

  • All procedures are approached by laparoscopic surgery, and partial gastrectomy with lymph node dissection are performed.
  • The patients who are considered to be difficult to progress early oral feeding in surgical field are excluded from the study.
  • Nasogastric tube is not applied to patients.
  • Postoperative pain is managed by non-opioid pain killer.
  • The patients are started on sips of water on the first postoperative day.
  • If they are tolerable, a liquid diet is started on the second postoperative day, and a soft diet on a third postoperative day for them.
  • We have a plan to discharge the patients on the fourth postoperative day if they exhibit at least three times soft diet without specific complaint and had normal clinical status and physical examination.

Evaluation of patients

  • The patients are followed up to 30 days after discharge from hospital, and we check whether they are tolerable without any compliant and are readmitted.

What participants receive

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

  • Early recoveryDietary supplement

    The patients are started on sips of water on the first postoperative day. If they are tolerable, a liquid diet is started on the second postoperative day, and a soft diet on a third postoperative day for them.

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 3 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 20 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hoon Hur, Prof. (+82-31-219-5200, hhcmc75@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Drop rate from critical pathway (time frame: 4 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01642953, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jul 2012.
