About this study

Official title: The Impact of Stapler Reinforcement Patches Compared to Standard Staplers on Postoperative Complications in Gastrojejunostomy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study aimed at compareing the impact of stapler reinforcement patches versus standard staplers on postoperative complications in gastrojejunostomy.

Read the detailed description

This study compares stapler reinforcement patches with standard staplers in gastrojejunostomy to reduce postoperative complications. It aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of these patches in preventing anastomotic leakage and other related complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Anastomotic Leakage

    The incidence of anastomotic leakage within 30 days post-surgery. Anastomotic leakage is defined as the presence of fluid containing enteric content in the abdominal cavity or the appearance of leakage confirmed by imaging or endoscopy.

    Measured: 30 days post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of Anastomotic Stricture

    The incidence of anastomotic stricture within 3 months post-surgery. Anastomotic stricture is defined as difficulty in food passage or narrowing confirmed by imaging or endoscopy.

    Measured: 3 months post-surgery

  2. Postoperative Bleeding Rate

    The incidence of postoperative bleeding within 30 days post-surgery. Postoperative bleeding is defined as the occurrence of bleeding requiring intervention or causing significant hemoglobin drop.

    Measured: 30 days post-surgery

  3. Mortality Rate

    The rate of mortality within 30 days post-surgery.

    Measured: 30 days post-surgery

  4. Readmission Rate

    Readmission Rate

    Measured: 3 months post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stapler Reinforcement Patch and Standard Stapler in people with Gastric Cancer and Gastrostomy, run by Nanchong Central Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Anastomotic Leakage (time frame: 30 days post-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 31 Mar 2026.
