Trial summary

Gastric GISTs are rare neoplasms that require excision for cure. Although the feasibility of laparoscopic resection of gastric GIST less than 2cms has been established, the feasibility, safety and long-term efficacy of these techniques for larger lesions are unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of Stomach: Feasibility of Laparoscopic Resection in Large Lesions and Its Long Term Outcomes- A Case Series

Gastric GISTs are rare neoplasms that require excision for cure. Although the feasibility of laparoscopic resection of gastric GIST less than 2cms has been established, the feasibility, safety and long-term efficacy of these techniques for larger lesions are unclear. Investigators hypothesized that laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs even for larger lesions is feasible \& results in low perioperative morbidity and an effective long-term control of the disease.

Read the detailed description

Open surgical resection was the standard of treatment until two decades ago, but with advent laparoscopy and experienced gained over the years, the safety \& feasibility of laparoscopic resections of gastric GISTs has been proven but for tumors less than 2 cm. However, with gain of experience and skill in laparoscopic surgery, many surgeons have reported a safety \& feasibility excision of tumors greater than 5 cm. Our current study demonstrates the oncologic safety of the laparoscopic approach even with tumour size range up to 12cm, with efficacy and recurrence rates similar or superior to historical open surgical controls, however, it requires considerable expertise for safe manipulation of the tumour. All these resections were accomplished with minimal morbidity, no perioperative mortality, and short post-operative stay and comparable long term oncological outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic resectionProcedure or surgery

    all patients with suspected Gastric GIST undergoes laparoscopic resection. Tumour location decides the approach used for resection. Therefore, a variety of options such as local resections, wedge resections, transgastric resections, intragastric resection and partial gastrectomies were performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric GIST and Submucosal Tumor of Stomach, run by GEM Hospital & Research Center.

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 26 Oct 2018. 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?

rates of intraoperative tumour rupture (time frame: intraoperative). 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 NCT03722056, which also lists 2 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 26 Oct 2018.
