About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing Clinical Outcomes of Laparoscopic D1 Versus D2 Lymphadenectomy for Elderly Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic D1 lymphadenectomy for elderly patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma(cT2-4a, N-/+, M0)

Read the detailed description

Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is considered the gold standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer. However, some studies show that age or comorbidities is the relevant predictor of postoperative complications, conditioning the safety of the surgical procedure itself, thus affect the survial. Even with the advances in surgical techniques and care, age still is a significant risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, elderly patients with gastric cancer could receive minimally invasive surgery with reduced nodal dissection, i.e., D1 lymphadenectomy, in order to prevent postoperative complications. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive operation and is proved to be an acceptable alternative to open surgery. At present, there is no RCTs to confirm the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic D1 lymphadenectomy for elderly patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. This study is to compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic D1 versus D2 lymphadenectomy for elderly patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma(cT2-4a, N-/+, M0)to evaluate the safety of laparoscopic D1 lymphadenectomy, and to verify its results in terms of survival in elderly patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic D1 LymphadenectomyProcedure or surgery

    After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case, laparoscopic D1 Lymphadenectomy will be performed in the experimental group.

  • Laparoscopic D2 LymphadenectomyProcedure or surgery

    After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case, laparoscopic D2 Lymphadenectomy will be performed in the comparator group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laparoscopic D1 Lymphadenectomy and Laparoscopic D2 Lymphadenectomy in people with Stomach Neoplasm, run by Fujian Medical 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 5 Feb 2020. 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?

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?

3-year disease specific survival rate (time frame: 36 months). 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 5 Feb 2020.
