About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic-assisted Total Gastrectomy Versus Open Total Gastrectomy With Spleen-preserving Splenic Hilum Lymph Nodes Dissection for Advanced Proximal Gastric Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study investigates the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy with spleen-preserving splenic hilum lymph node dissection for proximal advanced gastric cancer and compares the early results of this procedure with open total gastrectomy.

Read the detailed description

For advanced proximal gastric cancer, total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is the standard surgical therapy. Apparently, lymph nodes (LNs) dissection along the splenic artery (No.11) and the splenic hilum (No.10) is recommended by the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines. Nevertheless, complete removal of the No. 10 and No. 11d LNs is technically challenging due to the tortuous splenic vessels and the high possibility of injury to the parenchyma of the spleen and pancreas. Recently, the application of minimally invasive surgery for advanced gastric cancer is gaining popularity. However, laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) with standard D2 lymphadenectomy was still not widely performed, because pancreas- and spleen-preserving splenic hilum lymph node dissection were mainly challenging manipulations for laparoscopic surgeons. Herein, we aim to investigate the safety and feasibility of LATG with spleen-preserving splenic hilum lymph node dissection for proximal advanced gastric cancer and compares the early results of this procedure with open total gastrectomy (OTG).

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Also called LATG

    When patients with advanced proximal gastric cancer are randomized in the laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) group, they will received LATG with spleen-preserving splenic hilum lymph nodes dissection.

  • Open total gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Also called OTG

    When patients with advanced proximal gastric cancer are randomized in the open total gastrectomy (OTG) group, they will received OTG with spleen-preserving splenic hilum lymph nodes dissection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early complication rate

    The early complication rate is defined as the event observed during operation and within 30 days after surgery.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Operative time

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. Time of splenic hilum lymph nodes dissection

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. Operative blood loss

    It will be assessed with the unit of "ml".

    Measured: Intraoperative

  4. Incision length

    Measured: 7 days

  5. Number of total lymph nodes harvested

    Measured: 7 days

  6. Number of group No.10 lymph nodes harvested

    Measured: 7 days

  7. Number of lymph nodes posterior to splenic vessel

    Measured: 7 days

  8. Poster-operative recovery course

    Time to first ambulation, flatus, liquid diet and duration of hospital stay are used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 30 days

  9. 3-year disease free survival rate

    Measured: 3 years

  10. 5-year overall survival rate

    Measured: 5 years

  11. Metastasis rate of lymph nodes posterior to splenic vessel

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy and Open total gastrectomy in people with Gastric Cancer and Splenic Hilum Lymph Nodes Dissection, run by Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 10 Apr 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 China. 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?

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.

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?

Contact Wei Wang, M.D., PH.D. (+86-13922255515, wangwei16400@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early complication rate (time frame: 30 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 10 Apr 2017.
