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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study includes adult patients of all genders who were diagnosed with primary gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and underwent radical gastrectomy at participating institutions in China. The study population represents a diverse group of gastric cancer patients, varying in age, tumor stage, and treatment approaches, including those who received neoadjuvant therapy. This cohort aims to provide a comprehensive representation of gastric cancer patients treated with curative intent, allowing for the development and validation of prognostic models applicable to a wide range of clinical scenarios.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients diagnosed with primary gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer
  • Underwent radical gastrectomy
  • Complete clinical and pathological data available

Who cannot join

  • Presence of distant metastases before surgery
  • Non-adenocarcinoma histology
  • Incomplete follow-up data

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of Interpretable Machine Learning Models for Prognosis in Gastric Cancer Patients: a Multicenter Retrospective Study

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study aimed to develop and validate an explainable prediction model for prognosis after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study aimed to develop and validate an explainable prediction model for prognosis after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. The study included patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer across multiple institutions in China.

The primary objective was to create a machine learning-based model to predict postoperative outcomes following gastrectomy, using readily available clinical and pathological parameters. The main outcome of interest was early recurrence within 2 years after surgery, which significantly impacts overall prognosis.

The study employed various machine learning algorithms to develop prediction models, which were then compared and validated. Model performance was assessed through measures such as area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration, and Brier score. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was used to interpret the model and rank feature importance.

This research aims to provide clinicians with a tool for identifying patients at higher risk of poor postoperative outcomes who may benefit from more intensive post-operative monitoring and early intervention strategies, potentially improving prognosis for gastric cancer patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    Assessment of overall survival outcomes in gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy.

    Measured: Up to 5 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Early Recurrence

    Incidence of cancer recurrence within 2 years after gastrectomy.

    Measured: Within 2 years after surgery

  2. Late Recurrence

    Incidence of cancer recurrence occurring more than 2 years after gastrectomy.

    Measured: From 2 years up to 5 years after surgery

  3. Postoperative Complications

    Incidence and severity of complications following gastrectomy.

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

  4. Neoadjuvant Treatment Efficacy

    Assessment of tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy before gastrectomy.

    Measured: From initiation of neoadjuvant therapy to surgery (typically 2-3 months)

  5. 5-Year Survival Rate

    Percentage of patients alive 5 years after gastrectomy.

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasms and Gastrectomy, run by Chang-Ming Huang, Prof. 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2024. 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.

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 (time frame: Up to 5 years after 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 12 Aug 2024.
