About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Radical Surgery for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

This [Study Type: Clinical Trial] aims to [Primary Objective: evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of robotic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer] in [Participant Population: patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, aged >18 years and <75 years]. The primary questions it seeks to answer are:

Is the 3-year disease-free survival rate of robotic gastrectomy non-inferior to that of laparoscopic gastrectomy? Is the perioperative safety of robotic gastrectomy superior to that of laparoscopic gastrectomy? Researchers will compare [Intervention Groups: Robotic Gastrectomy vs. Laparoscopic Gastrectomy] to determine whether [robotic surgery offers advantages in long-term efficacy and perioperative safety].

Read more

Participants will:

Sign an informed consent form and be randomly assigned to either the robotic surgery group or the laparoscopic surgery group.

Undergo the assigned surgical procedure and receive regular follow-up visits (at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 21 months, 2 years, 2.5 years, and 3 years postoperatively).

Complete physical examinations, blood tests (including complete blood count, biochemical markers, and tumor markers), and imaging studies (such as abdominal CT, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and chest X-ray) during the follow-up period.

What participants receive

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

  • Robotic GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    The intervention measures for robotic gastrectomy include:

    Preoperative Preparation: Comprehensive preoperative examinations, including imaging studies, laboratory tests, and tumor marker assessments, to confirm the diagnosis and staging.

    Surgical Procedure: Utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System, which provides a high-definition 3D view and flexible robotic arms for enhanced surgical precision.

    Lymphadenectomy: Systematic D2 lymph node dissection according to oncological standards to ensure thorough removal of regional lymph nodes.

    Gastrectomy and Reconstruction: Performing subtotal or total gastrectomy based on tumor location and extent, with intracorporeal reconstruction assisted by the robotic system.

    Postoperative Management: Close monitoring of vital signs, pain management, and early mobilization to facilitate recovery, along with prevention and management of postoperative complications.

  • Laparoscopic GastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Preoperative Preparation: Confirm diagnosis and staging through imaging and laboratory tests.

    Surgical Procedure: Use standard laparoscopic instruments and 2D HD camera. Lymphadenectomy: Perform systematic D2 lymph node dissection. Gastrectomy and Reconstruction: Conduct subtotal or total gastrectomy and intracorporeal reconstruction.

    Postoperative Management: Monitor vital signs, manage pain, and promote early mobilization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robotic Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic Gastrectomy in people with Gastric Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, run by Southwest Hospital, China at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 14 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yan Shi (13752909448, shiyandoctor@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

3-year disease-free survival rate (time frame: 3 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 8 Jun 2025.
