About this study

Official title: Safety and Effectiveness of Oral Administration of 5% Glucose Solution 250ml 2-3 Hours Before Surgery in Gastric Cancer Patients for Elective Radical Resection

This study aims to assess the impact of preoperative oral carbohydrate drink on gastric emptying and PH of gastric fluid in gastric cancer patients directly. Furthermore, investigators aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of preoperative oral carbohydrate in elective gastric cancer surgery, providing direct evidence for clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

In clinic, administration of oral carbohydrate 2-3 hours before surgery has been widely applied in elective colorectal surgery. However, no direct evidence has been showed that whether it is safe to do so in gastric cancer patients who are fit for elective radical gastric resection.

This study aims to discuss the impact and safety of oral administration of 5% glucose solution 250ml 2-3 hours before elective gastric cancer surgery. It is an equivalence study, which refers to a single-center, prospective, single blind, and randomized controlled study design. Eighty-eight patients with gastric adenocarcinoma are going to be enrolled in the study, who will be allocated into control or treatment group. Patients in control group follow the traditional routine of 6-8 hours preoperative fasting, while those in the treatment group will orally intake 250ml 5% glucose solution 2-3 hours before surgery. The primary end-point is the preoperative gastric residual volume. The secondary end-points include preoperative PH of gastric fluid, assessment of perioperative psychosomatic conditions, rate of perioperative complications, level of insulin sensitivity, recovery of bowel function, and the length of hospital stay, etc.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. preoperative gastric residual volume of gastric fluid

    After anesthesia induction with 100-120mg propofol and 0.5 mg/kg rocuronium bromide and tracheal intubation, keep the patient in left lateral decubitus position. Insert the gastroscope ( Olympus 260) and perform complete suction of gastric fluid under direct vision with the suction apparatus connecting to the sterile airtight collector. Measure the volume of the gastric fluid in collector with a cylindrical measuring cup, accurate to 0.1ml. Repeat it and then take an average.

    Measured: 20-30 minutes before the surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Preoperative PH of gastric fluid

    bromide and tracheal intubation, keep the patient in left lateral decubitus position. Insert the gastroscope ( Olympus 260) and perform complete suction of gastric fluid under direct vision with the suction apparatus connecting to the sterile airtight collector. Inject 1ml clear gastric fluid into a vacuum drying tube by syringe and detect the PH value with the Delta 320 PH Detector twice and calculate the average value.

    Measured: 20-30 minutes before the surgery

  2. Preoperative thirsty/hungry scoring

    Visual analogue scale with the score 0-10, 0 the least, 10 the most

    Measured: 1 hour before the surgery

  3. Rate of perioperative complications

    Including surgery-specific complications, such as bleeding, anastomosis leakage, and non-surgery-specific ones, such as lung infection, urinary tract infection, etc.

    Measured: 7-8 days

  4. Recovery of bowel function

    Record the time, by using postoperative days(POD), to first flatus, first stool and the time to endure semifluid diet

    Measured: 3-7 days

  5. Perioperative insulin sensitivity

    Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index, QUICKI = 1/ [ log ( I0) + log (G0) ],I0 is the fasting insulin value, G0 is the fasting blood glucose value。

    Measured: 8 days

  6. Length of hospital stay

    Post operative hospital stay

    Measured: 2-3 weeks

  7. Readmission rate within 30 days post operation

    Readmission for any reason within 30 days after the surgery.

    Measured: 1 month after surgery

  8. Reoperation rate within 30 days post operation

    Reoperation that happens within 30 days after the primary surgery.

    Measured: 1 month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing preoperative oral carbohydrate drink in people with Gastric Cancer, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 4 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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?

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?

preoperative gastric residual volume of gastric fluid (time frame: 20-30 minutes before the surgery). 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 4 Mar 2025.
