About this study

Official title: Chronological Change of Bone Microstructure After Gastrectomy

Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

Read the detailed description

The patients after gastrectomy loss appetite and decrease the weight. Total gastrectomy especially cause severe sarcopenia and metabolic change. Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The primary tools for assessing volumetric density and bone structure are quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and more recently, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). However the validation of osteoporosis with HR-pQCT before and after gastrectomy remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using HR-pQCT before and after after endoscopic resection, distal gastrectomy, and total gastrectomy in the patients with gastric cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing bone microstructure in control, DG, and TG groups

    volumetric bone mineral density loss comparing with before the treatments

    Measured: 2 years after the treatments

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparing bone microstructure with sarcopenia

    Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and cross-sectional area of the abdominal psoas major muscle

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

  2. Comparing bone microstructure with serum biomarkers of osteoporosis

    Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and biomarkers (25-hydroxyvitaminD, calcium, iPTH, P1NP, ICTP, TRACP5b)

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

  3. Comparing bone microstructure with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

    Correlation of bone mineral density between HR-pQCT and DXA

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

  4. Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (QOL-C30)

    Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions.(QOL-C30). We compared the average sore about Valid and reliable 30-item questionnaire assessing health related quality of life (6 functional, 9 symptom) before and after treatments. The score about QOL-C30 is evaluated on a four level scale without Global quality of life. Global quality of life is evaluated on a seven level scale.

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

  5. Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (BDHQ)

    Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions (BDHQ) B-DHQ is 58-item fixed-portion-type questionnaire The score about BDHQ is evaluated on a seven level scale.

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

  6. Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (FRAX)

    Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions (FRAX). FRAX score is 12. FRAX is 12-item fixed-portion-type questionnaire. The score about FRAX is evaluated on a two level scale.

    Measured: Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia, run by Nagasaki University 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 17 Jan 2018. 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.

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 Shinichiro Kobayashi, MD (958197316, shinichirokobayashi@nagasaki-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparing bone microstructure in control, DG, and TG groups (time frame: 2 years after the treatments). 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 17 Jan 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
