About this study

Official title: Association of Human Albumin With Anastomotic Leakage After Gastric Cancer Surgery

We investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.

Read the detailed description

Anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery is not very common but it is a very critical postoperative complication. Anastomotic leakage severely compromises the recovery after surgery. It increases the overall burden of patients and hospital resources. Postoperative mortality is higher in patients with anastomotic leakage.

Human albumin is routinely administered after surgery with a unproven hypothesis that the human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage. We investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the rate of anastomotic leakage

    The rate of anastomotic leakage were compared among both groups

    Measured: Up to one months after the discharge of last patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Anastomotic Leak, run by Ruijin Hospital.

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 1 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 29 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Comparison of the rate of anastomotic leakage (time frame: Up to one months after the discharge of last patient). 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 29 Jul 2020.
