About this study

Official title: Use of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Stage Gastric Adenocarcinoma Patients Preoperatively

Preoperative staging for gastric adenocarcinoma is an important procedure to detect advanced disease stateS for the patients in which the surgery may be unnecessary to perform. Although there are many imaging techniques for this purpose, sensitivity and specificity of these techniques still remains to be low.Preoperative detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis and involvement of lymph nodes beyond D2 may prevent surgical procedures.

Removal of the determined lymph nodes according to the type of the surgery is the accepted surgical method. However, accurate determination of malignant lymph nodes may prevent dissection of some groups of the lymph nodes. These findings may cause a new definition of gastric lymph node dissection.

Read the detailed description
  1. proven endoscopic diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma
  2. for staging purposes, computed tomography for all patients
  3. evaluation of benign and malignant lymph nodes according to computed tomography findings and mapping of the lymph nodes
  4. to state precisely resectable patients according to computed tomography and anesthetic evaluation
  5. evaluation of benign and malignant lymph nodes according to diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging findings and mapping of the lymph nodes
  6. standard gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection
  7. mapping of the lymph nodes after taking the specimen out
  8. histopathological diagnosis of the lymph nodes and mapping
  9. comparison of the results taken from computed tomography, diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging in people with Gastric Adenocarcinoma, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 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?

efficacy of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging to detect benign and malignant lymph nodes (time frame: one year). 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 1 Mar 2017.
