Trial summary

The data of 460 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection between January 2017 and February 2022 were analyzed. The clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with EBV-positive gastric cancers were compared with those of EBV-negative gastric cancers. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Epstein-Barr Virus-positive Gastric Cancer Establish a Significant Relationship With the Multiple Genes Related to Gastric Carcinogenesis?

The data of 460 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection between January 2017 and February 2022 were analyzed. The clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with EBV-positive gastric cancers were compared with those of EBV-negative gastric cancers. Immunohistochemistry for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), C-erb B2, Ki-67, and p53 was performed. Additionally, in situ hybridization was conducted to detect EBV, and microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis was used to assess the deficiency in mismatch repair (MMR) genes.

Read the detailed description

This study collected consecutively the data of 463 patients with gastric adenocarcinomas who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy at our institution between January 2017 and February 2022. The Institutional Review Board of St. Vincent's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea approved this study (VC22RISI0177). Informed consent of the patients was waived because of the retrospective nature of the study. The inclusion criteria were: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma; (2) R0 resection; (3) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) blocks available for analysis. Patients who had undergone previous surgery, palliative resection, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy were excluded. All patients underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy based on the Korean Practice Guideline for Gastric Cancer 2018 [18]. After the surgery, clinical follow-up data were collected every 6 months during the first year and then every year thereafter. Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the length of time from curative surgery to the first tumor recurrence or distant metastasis. Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from curative surgery to death from any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and EBV Infection, run by Saint Vincent's Hospital, Korea 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 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 3 Nov 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 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.

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?

EBV positive gastric cancer is associated with increased Ki-67 and decreased EGFR. (time frame: Between January 2017 and February 2022.). 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 3 Nov 2022.
