What participants receive

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

  • peri-operative chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Usual treatment strategy for gastric adenocarcinoma

  • Surgery firstProcedure or surgery

    strategy with a surgical procedure first, without the usual peri-operative chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients dead in the 2-years

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Disease-free survival at 2 years

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Disease-free survival at 3 years

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Overall survival at 3 years

    Measured: 3 years

  4. R0 resection rate

    Measured: within 1 year

  5. grade III/IV toxicity

    tolerance will be measured by the rate and grade of chemotherapy's complications

    Measured: 2 years

  6. post operative morbi-mortality

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Average of patients who benefit from the overall treatment strategy

    Measured: 2 years

  8. quality of life

    Measured: 2 years

  9. emotional status

    It will be assessed by quality of life questionnaire(QLQ-C30, QLQ-STO-22,SF-36) and emotional status questionnaire(CES-D, STAI-Y-A, Brief-IPQ, WCC, ICEC-R, CRA)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing peri-operative chemotherapy and Surgery first in people with Signet Ring Cell Gastric Adenocarcinoma, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

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 19 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2026. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Guillaume Piessen, MD,PhD (+33320444407, guillaume.piessen@chru-lille.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients dead in the 2-years (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01717924, 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 14 May 2026.
