About this study

Official title: The Origin of Infrapyloric Artery: an Observational Trial

Infrapyloric artery(IPA) is of great importance for gastric cancer patients. According to previous study, the origin of IPA varies greatly among different studies. This trial aims to tell the distribution of IPA origin in Chinese patients.

Read the detailed description

Infrapyloric artery(IPA) is of great importance for gastric cancer patients. In early gastric cancer patients, the pylorus-preserving gastrectomy requires the preserving of IPA. In advanced gastric cancer patients, the subgroup of No. 6 lymph node might be associated with IPA. In Japanese Gastric Cancer Association(JGCA) gastric cancer classification guidelines, the No. 6 lymph nodes is defined as lymph nodes along the first branch and proximal part of the right gastroepiploic artery(RGEA) down to the confluence of the right gastroepiploic vein and the anterior superior pancreatoduodenal vein. However,if IPA origins from the gastroduodenal artery(GDA) or anterior superior pancreatoduodenal artery(ASPDA), the lymph nodes along the IPA can not be grouped into the No. 6 lymph nodes. Thus, a new definition of No. 6 lymph nodes is needed on the basis of the origin of IPA.

Previous studies about IPA origin are few and the origin of IPA varies greatly among different studies.

What participants receive

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

  • GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Also called surgery

    Patients with gastric cancer that needs receiving total or distal gastrectomy. During the surgery, IPA needs to be exposed and transected.

Study groups in NCT03071237
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Observational groupPatients who would receive total gastrectomy or distal gastrectomy are enrolled in to the study and this group. An optional reconstruction of IPA by enhanced CT scan can be performed before surgery but not a definite require. During the operation, IPA origin location will be photo-taken or video-recorded before its transection.
Receives: Procedure: Gastrectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of IPA origin

    The percentage of IPA origin from GDA, ASPDA and RGEA.

    Measured: Immediately after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reconstruction rate of IPA by CT scan

    The rate of identification of IPA origin by reconstruction of CT scan.

    Measured: Immediately after the reconstruction of CT scan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasm, run by Peking University 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 19 Feb 2019. 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.

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?

Distribution of IPA origin (time frame: Immediately after surgery). 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 NCT03071237, which also lists 3 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 19 Feb 2019.
