Trial summary

There is a rapidly growing interest in metabolic surgery for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, its efficacy in the non-morbidly population is not clear yet and the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Read more about this study

About this study

There is a rapidly growing interest in metabolic surgery for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, its efficacy in the non-morbidly population is not clear yet and the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Meanwhile, the incidence of early gastric cancer (EGC) in Korea has gradually increased, the long-term quality of life of the patients with EGC has become an important issue. Since the reconstruction methods after gastric cancer surgery are similar to that of metabolic surgery, some surgeons have attempted to modify the reconstruction methods after standard radical gastrectomy to achieve better glycemic control in gastric cancer patients with type 2 diabetes.

The present study aimed to investigate the changes in glucose metabolism and incretin hormone responses following different types of reconstruction after distal gastrectomy in non-morbidly obese gastric cancer patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a non-randomized, prospective, single-center, phase II pilot study.

Patients diagnosed with stage I gastric cancer and type 2 diabetes are eligible for the present study. Patients who will undergo laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for cancer located at the lower two-thirds of the stomach will only be included. The reconstruction method will be selected among conventional Billroth I, long-limb Billroth II (with 100 cm-long biliopancreatic limb), or long-limb Roux-en-Y (with 100 cm-long Roux limb) reconstruction methods according to the surgeon's preference as well as the size of the remnant stomach. All the patients are subjected to a 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) preoperatively, and at 5 days, 3 months, 6 months postoperatively and serum glucose, as well as incretin hormones, will be serially measured.

What participants receive

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

  • conventional BIProcedure or surgery

    After standard laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy, the gastrointestinal continuity will be restored with conventional Billroth I gastroduodenostomy.

  • long-limb BIIProcedure or surgery

    After standard laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy, the gastrointestinal continuity will be restored with Billroth II gastrojejunostomy using 100 cm-long biliopancreatic limb.

  • long-limb RY groupProcedure or surgery

    After standard laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy, the gastrointestinal continuity will be restored with Roux-en-Y reconstruction using 100 cm-long Roux limb and standard biliopancreatic limb.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing conventional BI, long-limb BII and long-limb RY group in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Kyungpook National University Chilgok 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 7 Sep 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 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.

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?

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?

Diabetes remission rate (time frame: at 6 months after surgery). 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 7 Sep 2020.
