Key requirements

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

Study population: All patients with gastric and gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma who presented or were referred to one of the participating centres and have been discussed at multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT) for curative management from January 2016 through December 2018. The University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will only contribute with data on DL and not on patients who underwent CT response assessment.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with histologically proven gastric and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.
  • Patients who have had (either) DLS and/or CT response assessment (after chemotherapy).
  • Discussed at MDT from January 2016 - December 2018
  • ≥18 years

Who cannot join

  • Patients with esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma with the tumour bulk located in the oesophagus that receive neoadjuvant chemoradiation;
  • Patients with recurrent/residual disease after earlier treatment of gastric cancer.

About this study

SUMMARY

Rationale: Diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) and response assessment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with computed tomography (CT) are two diagnostic modalities used to assess metastatic spread in gastric cancer patients. It is still unclear in what proportion of patients clinically relevant metastases or other significant findings (e.g. contra-indications of surgery) are detected that impact on the treatment.

Objective: To determine the clinical value of diagnostic laparoscopy and computed tomography response assessment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

Study design: Multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Study population: All Patients with gastric and gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma who underwent clinical staging and were discussed at multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT) between January 2016 and December 2018.

Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the proportion (%) of patients who do not proceed with treatment as planned after a DL and CT response assessment (i.e. the proportion of patients in which metastasized disease or other contra-indications for surgery is found).

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Since this is an observational study, no burden or risks are associated with participation.

What participants receive

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

  • Computed tomographyDiagnostic test

    Computed tomography to gauge response after preoperative chemotherapy cycles and excluded the development of interval metastases or irresectable disease

  • Diagnostic laparoscopy with peritoneal lavageDiagnostic test

    Diagnostic laparoscopy lavage to exclude (small-volume) metastases and determine local resectability

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in treatment

    Proportion of patients in which the diagnostic test led to change in treatment/management

    Measured: 1 month (on average)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Sander van Hootegem at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 19 Aug 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 Netherlands. 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?

Change in treatment (time frame: 1 month (on average)). 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 19 Aug 2021.
