Trial summary

As the proportion of early gastric cancer has been steadily increased in Korea, so has function-preserving surgery. The function preserving surgery is characterized by the minimized extent of gastrectomy, so this implies that bilateral margins are getting shorter than those of standard gastrectomies.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Narrow Band Imaging Technique for Identifying Resection Margin Status After Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

As the proportion of early gastric cancer has been steadily increased in Korea, so has function-preserving surgery. The function preserving surgery is characterized by the minimized extent of gastrectomy, so this implies that bilateral margins are getting shorter than those of standard gastrectomies.

Currently, there is only one way to identify resection margin status in gastric cancer, 'frozen biopsy'. However, it is labor-intensive and time-consuming procedure. In addition, the results rely on the pathologist's expertise, thereby it showed limitation of its accuracy; high false negative rate of signet ring cell carcinoma was reported in a previous study.

Recently, many studies on magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging(NBI) demonstrated that this emerging technique is useful to identify the gastric tumor margin more clearly in vivo, compared with conventional indigocarmine chromoendoscopy. So it was hypothesized that NBI may allow reliable delineation of tumor and identification of resection margin status in the specimen after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description
  1. Tumor delineation and identification of resection margin: After specimen delivery from the abdomen, frozen biopsy is performed before checking tumor margin. After inspection with NBI, the tumor margin is marked with electrocauterization. The tumor size and the lengths of both resection margins are evaluated using a ruler.
  2. Pathologic examination:

The specimen is sliced as 4mm interval paralleled to the markings. Tumor size, the status of both resection margins, and microvessel density are evaluated under the 200 magnified view.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy for identifying the status of resection margin

    The status of resection margin assessed by NBI during the operation is confirmed by the pathologic examination at postoperative 2 weeks

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tumor size

    The tumor size assessed by NBI during the operation is confirmed by the pathologic examination at postoperative 2 weeks

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Microvessel density

    The status of resection margin assessed by NBI during the operation is confirmed by the pathologic examination at postoperative 4 weeks

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 17 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Accuracy for identifying the status of resection margin (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT02926716, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 17 Feb 2017.
