Study summary

The efficacy of three different reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy will be investigated in this study through a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

In the trial, 180 patients with proximal early gastric cancer will be enrolled and then randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group A (Kamikawa, n = 60), Group B (single-tract jejunal interposition, n = 60), or Group C (SOFY reconstruction, n = 60). The general information, past medical history, laboratory and imaging findings, and surgical procedures of each patient will be recorded. Patients in Group A, Group B and Group C will receive Kamikaze reconstruction, single-tract jejunal interposition reconstruction and SOFY reconstruction respectively after standard proximal gastrectomy and lymph nodes dissection. The primary endpoint will be the incidence of reflux esophagitis, while the incidence of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, operative time, and intraoperative blood loss will be secondary endpoints to compare the efficacy of these three reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 20-75 years old, male or female;
  • Pathological diagnosis of preoperative endoscopic : the tumor is located in the upper 1/3 of the stomach (including the esophagogastric junction), and the clinical staging of gastric cancer: Ia and Ib (T1N0M0, T1N1M0, and T2N0M0) (14) according to the eighth edition of the AJCC (15);
  • No distant observed on preoperative chest radiograph, abdominal ultrasound or upper abdominal CT;
  • 1-3;
  • Patients without to surgery;
  • Patients and their families voluntarily signing the form and participating in the study;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed with primary tumors or distant ;
  • Patients whose tumor is located in the greater curvature side of the stomach;
  • Patients with coagulation dysfunction which could not be corrected;
  • Patients who were diagnosed with viral hepatitis and cirrhosis;
  • Patients who were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled or controlled with insulin;
  • Patients with organ failure such as heart, lung, liver, brain, kidney failure;
  • Patients with ascites or cachexia preoperatively in poor general conditions;
  • Patients diagnosed with immunodeficiency, or diseases (such as bone marrow transplant, immunosuppressive drugs, SLE, etc.).
  • Patients refusing to sign the of the study;
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. incidence of reflux esophagitis

    The percentage (%) of patients developing postoperative reflux esophagitis after surgery in each group.

    Time frame: 24 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. incidence of anastomotic leakage

    The percentage (%) of patients developing postoperative anastomotic leakage after surgery in each group.

    Time frame: 14 days after surgery

  2. incidence of anastomotic stenosis

    The percentage (%) of patients developing anastomotic stenosis after surgery in each group.

    Time frame: 24 months after surgery

  3. operative time

    The duration, measured in minutes, spent on reconstructing the digestive tract using specific method (Kamikawa, STJI or SOFY) following proximal gastrectomy.

    Time frame: 1 day after surgery

  4. intraoperative blood loss

    The amount of blood, measured in milliliters, lost during the reconstruction of digestive tract using specific method (Kamikawa, STJI or SOFY) following proximal gastrectomy.
