About this study

Official title: Fast Track Surgery With Laparoscopic-assisted Gastrectomy for Advanced Gastric

The purpose of this study is to to investigate the feasibility and safety of fast-track surgery when combined with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Methods: We designed a prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial then recruited 61 consecutive advanced gastric cancer patients. (Trial registration number: JLUFHC1722013) Further divide into a fast-track surgery group (n=30) and a conventional surgery group (n=31). Surgical technique in both groups is same laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Compare outcomes includes length of hospital stay, return to normal diet and postoperative complications.Results: Recovery parameters such as the length of time to return to normal diet; to the first defection; start of ambulation time ;the mean hospital stay will be all less in patients assigned to the fast track surgery protocol compared with those in the conventional care programme. Conclusion: We will consider fast-track rehabilitation to be safe and feasible in advanced gastric cancer patients. Moreover, it will result in decreased hospital stay.

What participants receive

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

  • fast-track surgeryProcedure or surgery

    The included patients will be randomly divided to two groups :30 that will undergo LAG with FTS rehabilitation programme and 31 that also will undergo LAG but receive conventional postoperative care.Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy will be carried out in this approach.There will be no difference in the surgical procedures of both groups.The criteria for discharge are: tolerance of solid diet, return of bowel habits and ability to walk on their own.

  • conventional postoperative careProcedure or surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fast-track surgery and conventional postoperative care in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Quan Wang.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Ambulation time (time frame: within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Oct 2013.
