About this study

To compare left thoraco-abdominal approach with abdominal and transhiatal approach to cardia or subcardia cancer

Read the detailed description

For gastric cancers with esophageal invasion (Siewert type II and III), thoraco-abdominal approach has shown better survival results than abdominal approach in retrospective analyses. However, patients having mediastinal nodal metastasis have poor prognosis and the benefit of thoraco-abdominal approach is still controversial. We evaluated the two approaches in a prospective randomized trial.

Being tested
Surgery: abdominal and transhiatal approach, Surgery: left thoraco-abdominal approach
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Surgery: abdominal and transhiatal approach and Surgery: left thoraco-abdominal approach in people with Gastric Neoplasm, run by Japan Clinical Oncology Group at 1 site in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2009. 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 Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

overall survival. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00149266, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Feb 2009.
