Trial summary

Introduction: Surgery is the only potential curative approach for the highly lethal gallbladder carcinoma. The laparoscopic surgery has developed rapidly since invented. As a kind of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy including segmentg IVB and V is preferred by most of surgeons. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Three Dimension Laparoscopic Versus Open Surgery for Gallbladder Carcinoma. A Randomized Clinical Trial

Introduction: Surgery is the only potential curative approach for the highly lethal gallbladder carcinoma. The laparoscopic surgery has developed rapidly since invented. As a kind of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy including segmentg IVB and V is preferred by most of surgeons. There have been studies comparing intraoperative blood loss, postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay and costs of laparoscopic cholecystectomy over open surgery. However, randomized controlled trials are still lacking but clearly required to reveal whether the laparoscopic approach or the open surgery is the better option for treating gallbladder carcinoma. We hypothesize that incidence of postoperative complications is lower, and time to functional recovery is shorter after laparosopic compared with open approach, even in an enhanced recovery setting.

Methods/design: We designed this prospective, randomized, controlled trial with two treatment approaches, laparoscopic versus open surgery for gallbladder carcinoma. The trial hypothesis is that laparoscopic approach has advantages in postoperative recoveries and be equivalent in operation time, oncological results and long-term follow-up compared with open counterpart. The duration of the entire trial is four years including prearrangement, follow-up and analyses.

Discussion: Although several studies have discussed different surgical approaches for gallbladder carcinoma treatment, this trial will be a thorough RCT comparing laparoscopic and open surgery for gallbladder carcinoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Operation time

    Operation time is definied as the from either skin incision or trocar placement to the entire skin closure.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Estimated blood loss

    EBL is defined as the blood loss during the surgical procedure

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Intraoperative blood transfusion

    IBT is defined as whether the subjects receive blood transfusion during the surgical procedure

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Length of stay

    LOS is defined as the days between the surgery and hospital discharged

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Complication rate

    Complication rate is defined as the number of subjects developed complication divided the total subjects number

    Measured: 24 months

  6. R0 rescetion rate

    R0 rescetion rate for the carcinoma

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Three dimensional laparoscopic and Open in people with Gallbladder Cancer and Surgery, run by Tongji Hospital at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Operation time (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2018.
