About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Perioperative Application of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Postoperative Immunization in Gastric Cancer Patients - A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

To evaluate immunomodulatory effects of perioperative application of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in gastric cancer surgery, the effects of postoperative recovery, the improvement of nutritional status, incidence rate of related complications, and whether it can reduce the average postoperative hospitalization days.

Read the detailed description

Methods: Choose from 6 to 2013-2013-12 gastric cancer patients, according to inclusion criteriaS to choose the objectS of study from the gastric cancer patients coming to our hospital 2013-06 to 2013-12 .The included patients will be randomly divided into two groups A and B, two groups of patients 4 days before operation begin to give parenteral nutrition: A: the control group of normal intravenous nutrition. B: the trial group,add Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids 0.2 g/kg to parenteral nutrition, no use on the day of surgery, postoperative 2 days continue to add Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids 0.2 g/kg. Detect and compare CRP、TNF-α、IL-1、IL-4、lL-6、 IL-8、lL-10 levels of two groups in days before parenteral nutrition and applicating 3rd day and postoperative 1st, 3rd, 5th,and detect liver function in preoperative and postoperative 2nd,5th,7th day. Record postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital days, preoperative and postoperative body weight.Results: Trail group patients compared with the control group,Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids can reduce early postoperative inflammatory cytokines release, reduce the postoperative fever time, reduce the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improve the nutritional state of patients, reduce infection and related complications after the surgery and reduce postoperative hospitalization days. Conclusions: Perioperative application of omega 3 PUFA can reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines, regulating cell and humoral immunity, reduce the postoperative fever time, reduce the local inflammation medium that inhibit the gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improve the nutritional state of patients, thereby reducing the occurrence of postoperative infection and related complications, reduce postoperative hospitalization days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Jian Suo.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

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?

blood immune factors (time frame: 10 days). 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 30 Jul 2013.
