Trial summary

Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and function) can be observed at any age and results of multiple factors (age, activity, inflammatory factors, nutritional status...). It deeply impacts the physical performance and the basal metabolism, and induces cardiovascular disorders, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study

Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and function) can be observed at any age and results of multiple factors (age, activity, inflammatory factors, nutritional status...). It deeply impacts the physical performance and the basal metabolism, and induces cardiovascular disorders, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Sarcopenia appears like an independent factor decreasing the quality of life, exacerbating the toxicity of chemotherapy and increasing mortality for gastrointestinal cancer. However, few studies have demonstrated his impact on postoperative course in digestive oncology. The search for sarcopenia, complementary nutritional status, is now a source of great interest with 62 ongoing projects in the United States.

The first objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of preoperative sarcopenia on 30-days morbidity and mortality of patients operated on from poor prognosis gastrointestinal cancer (liver and pancreas). The second objective is to evaluate the impact of preoperative sarcopenia on the long term outcomes (12 months) on the same patients.

Read the detailed description

In this interventional, intent-to-treat, single-center cohort, prospective study, sarcopenia will be evaluated by the decrease in muscle surface (assessed by CT-Scan) associated with a decrease in muscle strength (assessed by hand gauge). Preoperative evaluation will also include nutritional status by physical examination and laboratory tests, and many nutritional questionnaires. The same data (including sarcopenia, laboratory tests and nutritional evaluation) will be collected at 7 days, 30 days and 12 months, as well as the morbidity and mortality. Statistical tests might evaluate if sarcopenia may be an independent factor of morbidity and mortality among these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Assessment of sarcopenia by CT-Scan and hand gauge in people with Sarcopenia and Malnutrition, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2016. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yohann RENARD (yrenard@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

muscle surface using CT-Scan (time frame: up to12th month postoperatively). The study lists 2 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 23 Jun 2016.
