About this study

Official title: Effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on C-reactive and Visceral Proteins in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

The investigators designed a prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial then recruited 149 consecutive advanced gastric cancer patients. Further divided into a ERAS group (n=73) and a conventional pathway group (n=76). Surgical technique in both groups was same laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Compared outcomes included clinical parameters and serum indicators.

Read the detailed description

Enhanced recovery after surgery combined with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy was successfully carried out in this study. Recovery parameters such as the length of time to return to normal diet,mean hospital stay (d) were recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERAS protocols and conventional pathway group in people with Gastric Cancer, run by The First Hospital of Jilin University.

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 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 28 Jan 2015. 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.

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?

Compartition of postoperative hospital stay (time frame: up to 30 days after the operation). 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 NCT02348229, 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 28 Jan 2015.
