About this study

Official title: Assessment of Bone Microstructure by Using High-resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography in Long Courses After Gastrectomy : a Prospective Observational Study

Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

Read the detailed description

The patients after gastrectomy loss appetite and decrease the weight. Total gastrectomy especially cause severe sarcopenia and metabolic change. Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The primary tools for assessing volumetric density and bone structure are quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and more recently, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). However the validation of osteoporosis with HR-pQCT in the long course after gastrectomy remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using HR-pQCT in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing bone microstructure in control, DG, and TG groups

    volumetric bone mineral density

    Measured: day1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparing bone microstructure with sarcopenia

    Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and cross-sectional area of the abdominal psoas major muscle

    Measured: day1

  2. Comparing bone microstructure with serum biomarkers of osteoporosis

    Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and biomarkers (25-hydroxyvitaminD, calcium, iPTH, P1NP, ICTP, TRACP5b)

    Measured: day1

  3. Comparing bone microstructure with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

    Correlation of bone mineral density between HR-pQCT and DXA

    Measured: day1

  4. Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (QOL-C30)

    Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions (QOL-C30)

    Measured: day1

  5. Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (BDHQ)

    Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions ( BDHQ)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia, run by Kobayashi Shinichiro at 1 site in Japan.

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 10 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 9 Jan 2018. 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shinichiro Kobayashi, MD (81958197316, shinichirokobayashi@nagasaki-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparing bone microstructure in control, DG, and TG groups (time frame: day1). 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 9 Jan 2018.
