Trial summary

Gastric cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 26,560 cases of stomach cancer (16,160 in men and 10,400 in women) will be diagnosed in 2021. Median age at diagnosis is 68 years.

Study population: Gastric cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. Decreases in gastric cancer have been attributed in part to widespread use of refrigeration. Other factors likely contributing to the decline in stomach cancer rates include lower rates of chronic Helicobacter pylori infection, thanks to improved sanitation and use of antibiotics, and increased screening in some countries. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has an established role in the management of gastric cancer. Perioperative chemotherapy, or postoperative chemotherapy plus chemoradiation, are preferred for localized gastric cancer. Because of lower toxicity, two-drug cytotoxic regimens are preferred for patients with advanced disease. Adjuvant radiotherapy is associated with improvements in both overall and relapse-free survival and reductions in locoregional failure.

Decreases in gastric cancer have been attributed in part to widespread use of refrigeration. Other factors likely contributing to the decline in stomach cancer rates include lower rates of chronic Helicobacter pylori infection, thanks to improved sanitation and use of antibiotics, and increased screening in some countries.

Surgical resection is the principal therapy for gastric cancer, as it offers the only potential for cure.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has an established role in the management of gastric cancer. Perioperative chemotherapy, or postoperative chemotherapy plus chemoradiation, are preferred for localized gastric cancer. Because of lower toxicity, two-drug cytotoxic regimens are preferred for patients with advanced disease.

Adjuvant radiotherapy is associated with improvements in both overall and relapse-free survival and reductions in locoregional failure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 9 inclusion and 3 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 18 Mar 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Walaa Abdelshafy (01008313227, walaaabdelshafy45@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weight gain by BMI by kg/m2 (time frame: 2 years). 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 18 Mar 2022.
