About this study
This study is intended to investigate whether roux-en-y bypass surgery is superior to conventional loop gastrojejunostomy for Malignant gastric outlet obstruction in terms of tolerance to solid food intake. We hypothesize that roux-en-y bypass will be associated with improved solid food intake in the first 30 days after surgery.
Read the detailed description
Malignant gastric outlet obstruction is when malignant tumor growth obstructs the gastric outlet at the level of the distal stomach or duodenum, causing food intolerance with nausea and vomiting. Most often, this signifies advanced neoplastic disease with associated poor prognosis for patients. Restoring patients to oral intake is important for palliative purposes. The current standard of care in patients requiring long-term alleviation of symptoms (≥2 months) is performing a loop gastrojejunostomy. This involves creating an intestinal bypass to the site of obstruction in the duodenum or distal stomach. This procedure has long been criticized for its poor resultant function for patients, mainly due to poor tolerance to food intake that include frequent episodes of nausea and vomiting and inability to for solid food intake. The need for a durable solution to malignant gastric outlet obstruction that provides better tolerance to solid food intake is evident. The roux-en-y gastric bypass procedure has been performed for a variety of indications for decades, most commonly for weight loss but also with oncologic resections of the stomach in cases of gastric cancer. Laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass (R-Y bypass) has become the standard for this procedure in experienced hands and has been found to be safe in the short- and long term. The long-term function after R-Y bypass is generally favorable across published literature. No studies exist to compare loop gastrojejunostomy to roux-en-y gastric bypass in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Roux-en-Y Bypass | Other | laparoscopic Roux-en-Y (R-Y) procedure is a well-established procedure, commonly utilized in the setting of bariatric- and gastric cancer surgery. The procedure establishes intestinal continuity that bypasses the distal stomach and duodenum. This is achieved by dividing the jejunum 30-40 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz, bringing the distal end of jejunum up anterior to the transverse colon to be anastomosed to the back wall of the stomach (forming the Roux-limb). The proximal cut end of jejunum then gets anastomosed to the downstream roux-limb (forming the Y-limb). The benefits of this reconstruction include less chance of gastric contents travelling into the afferent limb and similarly, avoiding bile reflux from the afferent limb with associated bile gastritis. Receives: Procedure: Roux-en-Y Bypass |
| Gastrojejunostomy | Other | surgical gastrojejunostomy, a procedure dating back to the late 1800's.5 This surgical bypass consists of connecting the stomach to a loop of proximal small bowel, thus bypassing any duodenal or distal gastric obstruction. Receives: Procedure: gastrojejunostomy |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Roux-en-Y Bypass and gastrojejunostomy in people with Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction, run by Corewell Health West at 1 site in United States.
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 8 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2026. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated early due to poor participant accrual, resulting in inadequate enrollment to support the planned analysis and study endpoints.). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Gastric emptying as per gastric emptying scintigraphy at 7 days post-operatively. (time frame: 7 days post operative). 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 NCT05986890, which also lists 28 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 16 Jul 2026.
