About this study

Official title: Does Timing of Completion Radical Cholecystectomy Determine the Survival Outcome in Incidental Carcinoma Gallbladder - a Single Center Retrospective Analysis

Various factors determine the long term survival in this non-uniform cohort of incidental gallbladder cancer. Timing of re-intervention is suggested to play an important role in the outcome. Few centers are proponents of early surgery in order to prevent dissemination, while others have suggested an intentional delay of 3 months to filter out cases with aggressive pathology. In the present study, investigators intend to evaluate the factors affecting survival in incidental Gallbladder Cancer (IGBC) with special reference to timing of re-intervention.

Read the detailed description

Surgical Gastroenterology department at our institute is a tertiary referral center for hepatobiliary malignancies; covering a large part of North and North-east India. The details and progress reports of patients of Gallbladder Cancer (GBC) being referred to and treated at the institute is maintained in a prospective manner on hospital data base. This includes demographic data, presenting complains, details of relevant investigations done outside and in the hospital, previous surgery, pre-hospital course, operative findings, post operative course and final histopathology. Being a retrospective analysis of data not affecting clinical outcomes, ethical approval was not taken. During the study period (Jan 2009 to Dec 2018), 1049 participants with diagnosis of GBC (including 91 IGBC participants) were admitted; 239/958 participants with diagnosis of GBC and 48/91 with diagnosis of GBC could undergo resection with curative intent. Information regarding adjuvant therapy, recurrence, and survival were retrieved through data maintained on follow up out-patient cards till December 2019. Few participants who stopped visiting the hospital were contacted telephonically or through letters. All available histopathology blocks and slides following the index cholecystectomy were re-reviewed by the pathologists in the institute. Tumor type, differentiation and primary T stage were documented for majority of cases. Interval between index cholecystectomy and date of re-operation was calculated for all the participants and divided into 3 groups: Early (<4weeks), Intermediate (4-12 weeks) and Late (>12 weeks). Primary objective was to assess the effect of tumor characteristics and the time gap (between index surgery and re-resection) on overall survival following curative (R0/R1) resection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival based on timing of completion radical cholecystectomy

    Overall and disease free survival

    Measured: 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determinants of factors associated with survival in incidental gallbladder carcinoma

    Factors related to primary surgery (residual disease, primary T stage), type of resection (Wedge resection, Segment 4B-5 excision or Common bile duct excision), tumor characteristics (differentiation and lymohovascular invasion) and final stage (AJCC 8th edition)

    Measured: 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2018

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gall Bladder Carcinoma and Survival, run by Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences.

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 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 10 Nov 2021. 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?

Survival based on timing of completion radical cholecystectomy (time frame: 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2018). 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 10 Nov 2021.
