Study summary

The incidence of proximal gastric cancer has increased significantly in recent years. This may be due to weight gain, alcohol consumption, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and precancerous lesions. With a deeper understanding of the pattern of lymph node metastasis and the emergence of anti-reflux procedures, proximal gastrectomy has gradually received clinical attention. For early-stage upper gastric cancer and esophagogastric combination cancer cases that are expected to have a good prognosis, the ideal surgical procedure should be to preserve the distal stomach to improve the quality of life and to choose a reasonable digestive tract reconstruction method to prevent reflux. The anti-reflux effect of various proximal gastrectomy digestive tract reconstruction methods and the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical procedures are controversial, and the recognized ideal reconstruction method has not yet been established. Therefore, based on the stomach's anatomical features and the intercalated jejunum's anti-reflux mechanism, we propose a true dual-channel anastomosis for GI reconstruction, i.e., the "λ+α dual-channel anastomosis". This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of proximal gastrectomy combined with "λ+α double-channel anastomosis" in the treatment of early gastric cancer.

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 18-75 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 was observed on preoperative chest radiograph, abdominal ultrasound, or upper abdominal CT; 1-3; Patients without to surgery; Patients and their families voluntarily signed the form and participated 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 that 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, and 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.).

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.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2025, 16 months after the start.

Of 356 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stomach Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 16 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 367 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 63.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 15, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
