About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trials on Clinical Outcomes of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic distal gastrectomy for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma(cT1-4a, N-/+, M0).

Read the detailed description

Robotic surgery has been developed with the aim of improving surgical quality and overcoming the limitations of conventional laparoscopy in the performance of complex mini-invasive procedures. The study is designed to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic distal gastrectomy by comparing short- and long-term outcomes including financial cost of robotic and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma (cT1-4a, N-/+, M0).

Being tested
Robotic Distal Gastrectomy, Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy
Keywords
Stomach Neoplasm, Robotic Surgery, Distal Gastrectomy

What participants receive

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

  • Robotic Distal GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case, robotic distal gastrectomy will be performed in the experimental group.

  • Laparoscopic Distal GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

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

    Measured: 30 days

  9. Time to first flatus

    Time to first flatus in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 30 days

  10. Time to first liquid diet

    Time to first liquid diet in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 30 days

  11. Time to first soft diet

    Time to first soft diet in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 30 days

  12. Duration of postoperative hospital stay

    Duration of postoperative hospital stay in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 30 days

  13. The variation of weight

    The variation of weight in kilograms on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status.

    Measured: 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  14. The variation of cholesterol

    The variation of cholesterol in millimole/liter on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status.

    Measured: 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  15. The variation of album

    The variation of album in gram/liter on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status.

    Measured: 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  16. The variation of white blood cell count

    The values of white blood cell count from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 5 are recorded to access the inflammatory response.

    Measured: Preoperative 7 days and postoperative 1 and 5 days

  17. The variation of hemoglobin

    The values of hemoglobin in gram/liter from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 5 are recorded to access the inflammatory response.

    Measured: Preoperative 7 days and postoperative 1 and 5 days

  18. Hospitalization expenses

    The cost from admission to discharge

    Measured: 30 days

  19. operation time

    operation time

    Measured: 1 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robotic Distal Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy in people with Stomach Neoplasm and Robotic Surgery, 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 14 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 22 Jun 2023. 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?

3-year disease free 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03313700, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Jun 2023.
