About this study

Official title: Effect of Different Doses of Vitamin D on Cancer-related Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Gastrointestinal Tumors: a Randomized Controlled Study

To explore the effect of different doses of vitamin D drugs on gastrointestinal cancer cancer-related cognitive impairment, so as to provide reference and basis for the clinical use of our cognitive function surgery nursing plan for patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

Read the detailed description

To determine the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with gastrointestinal tumors to determine the influencing factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The characteristics of perioperative cancer-related cognitive impairment in patients with gastrointestinal tumors were analyzed by monitoring preoperative and postoperative FACT-COG cognitive scale connection test (Hua-Shan-version auditory word learning test) DSST digit symbol test gaffes detection task and hematology indexes, such as observation and analysis of the interference pattern of supplement vitamin D preparation postoperative hospital stay in patients with gastrointestinal tumor short-term cognitive impairment related to cancer, in order to reduce the incidence of complications and hospitalization days, improve cognitive function in patients with gastrointestinal tumor surgery, and improve the quality of nursing.

What participants receive

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

  • Vitamin DDrug

    Also called Different doses of vitamin D

    The patients were given vitamin D supplementation 48 hours after surgery, and the two groups were given different doses of vitamin D supplementation until the postoperative discharge criteria were met. To scientifically evaluate the application effect of early postoperative vitamin D intervention in the improvement of perioperative cognitive function in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cognitive function

    Fact-cog Cognitive Scale.The higher the score, the better the cognition.

    Measured: Eight days after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sleep

    Pittsburgh sleep quality index.The overall score ranges from 0 to 21, with a score of 0 to 5 indicating good sleep quality,6 to 10 indicating fair sleep quality,11 to 15 indicating fair sleep quality, and 16 to 21 indicating very poor sleep quality.

    Measured: Eight days after the surgery

  2. Cancer related fatigue

    Cancer Fatigue Scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 15, and 4 is considered frailty.

    Measured: Eight days after the surgery

  3. Asthenia

    Groningen Frailty Indicator. The total score ranges from 0 to 15, and 4 is considered frailty.

    Measured: Eight days after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Vitamin D in people with Gastrointestinal Neoplasms and Cognitive Impairment, run by Yangzhou University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 23 Sep 2022. 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 China. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Daorong Wang, Professor (18051062590, wangdaorong666@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cognitive function (time frame: Eight days after the 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 23 Sep 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
