About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Serum and Peritoneal CEA and CA 19-9 for TNM Stage and Peritoneal Dissemination of Gastric Adenocarcinoma

For preoperative staging and prediction of peritoneal dissemination of gastric adenocarcinoma, usage of serum and peritoneal levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9 may be helpful. Additionally, the prognosis of the patients with gastric adenocarcinoma treated with gastrectrectomy may be associated with serum and peritoneal levels of tumor markers.

Read the detailed description

Clinical usage of tumor markers on preoperative staging and prediction of peritoneal dissemination of gastric adenocarcinoma is a controversial issue. It has been thought that there is a positive correlation between serum and peritoneal levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9 and pathologic features of gastric tumors and peritoneal dissemination.

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of serum and peritoneal CEA and CA 19-9 to predict TNM stages and peritoneal washing cytology in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma after curative gastrectomy, and to determine predictive value of these measurements to the development of recurrence and death.

What participants receive

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

  • gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    radical total/subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection

  • sampling of peritoneal washing aspirateProcedure or surgery

    After thoroughly examination of the peritoneal cavity revealing the absence of peritoneal dissemination, the peritoneal cavity was washed with 200 ml of saline, and at least one third was aspirated from several regions of the peritoneal cavity, including near the primary tumor, the left and right subphrenic areas and the pouch of Douglas with suction tubes to a clean bottle and designated as the peritoneal sample for determination of peritoneal levels of CEA and CA 19-9.

What is being measured

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

  1. TNM stage

    TNM stage based on the 7th American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union Against Cancer tumor, node, metastasis system.

    Measured: through pathologic report completion, an average of 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. peritoneal washing cytology

    detection of positive free peritoneal gastric adenocarcinoma cells.

    Measured: through pathologic report completion, an average of 1 month

  2. recurrence/death

    detection of recurrence or development of death

    Measured: through follow-up period, an average of 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 14 Jun 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.

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?

TNM stage (time frame: through pathologic report completion, an average of 1 month). 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 14 Jun 2017.
