Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who will undergo curative gastric cancer surgery (total gastrectomy, distal gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and pylorus-preserving gastrectomy)
  • A Malnourished patient who meets one or more of the following:
  • BMI ≤ 20.5 kg/m2: BMI will be measured 1 day before surgery
  • Rapid weight loss (decreased by more than 5% in 2 months)
  • Patients over 18 years of age
  • Patients who are expected to receive PN for more than five days after surgery
  • Patients who are able to eat orally, but cannot fulfill the recommened calorie requirement by oral intake alone.

Who cannot join

  • In case that the patients have already provided parenteral nutrition prior to the consent of the study (oral diet prior to consent has nothing to do with study)
  • In case that the patients need tube feeding
  • Patients who are contraindicated to parenteral nutrition: heart failure (if the patient has current symptoms or receiving heart failure treatment, if ejection fraction(EF) was less than 40% in preoperative echocardiogram), Child-Pugh score C, renal failure (patient with 50% increased creatinine more than upper normal limit, patients currently undergoing renal replacement therapy), and pulmonary edema (appropriate chest X-ray signs for pulmonary edema), and the patient who suffered from allergie reaction to parenteral nutrition solutions.
  • Patients who are not easily able to obtain venous pathways or are vulnerable to side effects due to venous pathways (e.g. increased infection risk due to immunosupressant status)
  • Vulnerable subject (those who lack the decision making ability, pregnant women, or women who are planning to conceive)
  • Other patients whom the investigator has determined to be inappropriate to participate in this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Postoperative Supplemental Parenteral Nutrition (SPN) in Gastric Cancer Patients Who Underwent Gastrectomy: A Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

  • If a patient undergoes gastrectomy, which is a kind of major abdominal operation, he/she loses more than 5% of his/her body weight in 2 months after surgery. This point is one of the criteria of 'risk of malnutrition' according to Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS 2002) and the patient who corresponds to this criterion needs nutritional support.
  • According to Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS 2002), moderate malnutrition is defined as the state that the patient orally intakes 25~50% of recommended requirements; severe malnutrition is less than 25%.
  • Meanwhile, when oral nutrition support was provided to patients after gastric cancer surgery, the patients' average daily intake during the first three months was about a half of the recommended requirements.
  • Putting together the facts i) that the patient underwent major abdominal operation, ii) that the weight loss rate exceeded 5% for two months, iii) that the average daily intake of patients during the first three months was about half of the recommended amount, the patients are eligible to be classified as a group who require nutritional support according to NRS 2002.

Therefore, it is intended to verify the efficacy and safety of supplemental parenteral nutrition by comparing Arm A, who are provided oral intake with supplemental parenteral nutrition, Arm B, who are provided oral intake only after curative gastric cancer surgery.

Read the detailed description

With at least 5 days of supplemental parenteral nutrition, we expect minimized body weight loss, favorable blood test result, eligibility for chemotherapy compliance, increased quality of life (QoL), decreased infection rate, decreased hospital stay, and decreased mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Parenteral Nutrition Solutions in people with Gastric Cancer and Gastrectomy, run by Seoul National University 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Hyuk-Joon Lee, Professor (82-02-9092-3723, appe98@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total amount of calorie provision during hospitalization (time frame: discharge day (POD#8; postoperative day 8)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04607057, which also lists 30 linked publications.

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 24 Sep 2021.
