About this study

Official title: Incidence of Dumping Syndrome After Laparoscopic Vagus Nerve-preserving Distal Gastrectomy for Early Gastric Cancer

There is no consensus on what type of function-preserving gastrectomy can provide the best patient quality of life (QOL). This study aims to evaluate the incidence of dumping syndrome after vagus nerve-preserving distal gastrectomy (VPNDG).

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a prospective observational phase II study with a follow-up period of 12 months. Patients diagnosed with early gastric cancer in the distal 2/3rd of the stomach who are planned to undergo laparoscopic VPNDG with Roux-en Y gastrojejunostomy will be enrolled. Primary endpoint is incidence of dumping syndrome defined by Sigstad score 7 after a 3-month interval. Other outcomes include operative data, early complication, and patient QOL using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer C-30 and STO22 modules.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasm, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

Dumping syndrome (time frame: 1 year). 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 Mar 2021.
