Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin together with irinotecan and capecitabine works in treating patients with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cancer).

Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma are most frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. The disease has a marked propensity for loco-regional spread and will be the sole or major site of disease in up to 80% of patients. Various attempts at controlling loco-regional disease have not been successful. The selective lethal effect of supranormal temperatures on neoplastic cells and the additive or synergistic effect of combining chemotherapy has been well established in laboratory models and has provided the rationale for numerous clinical trials using hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion for advanced extremity melanoma or sarcoma. This Phase I study will evaluate the safety of escalating temperatures of continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) with escalating doses of intraperitoneal Cisplatin (CDDP) in the treatment of patients with advanced peritoneal adenocarcinoma of gastrointestinal origin.

Experimental: Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy Laparoscopy proximal gastrectomy with esophago-jejunostomy, gastro-jejunostomy and jejuno-jejunostomy (double tract reconstruction). Systemic en bloc lymph node dissection is mandatory. Resection margin should be negative for malignancy with intraoperative frozen biopsy. Active Comparator: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with esophago-jejunostomy and jejuno-jejunostomy (Roux-en-Y reconstruction). Systemic en bloc lymph node dissection is mandatory. Resection margin should be negative for malignancy with intraoperative frozen biopsy.

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic distal gastrectomy for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma（cT1-4a, N-/+, M0）.

The investigators designed a prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial then recruited 149 consecutive advanced gastric cancer patients. Further divided into a ERAS group (n=73) and a conventional pathway group (n=76). Surgical technique in both groups was same laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Compared outcomes included clinical parameters and serum indicators.

Prophylactic use of anastomotic drain in upper gastrointestinal surgery has been questioned in the last 15 years but only small studies have been conducted. In 2015 a Cochrane meta analysis on four Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) concluded that there was no convincing evidence to the routine drain placement in gastrectomy. Nevertheless the Authors evidenced the moderate/low methodological quality of the included studies and highlighted how 3 out of four came from Eastern countries. Despite the above mentioned limits, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) society published the guidelines for gastrectomy that strongly recommend, with high evidence level, to avoid routine use of drain in gastric surgery. After 2015 some other retrospective studies have been published, all with inconsistent results. Our objective is to perform a multicentre prospective trial in a large western cohort of patients to establish wether avoid routine use of anastomotic drain does not led to an increasing of postoperative invasive procedure.

Gastric carcinoma is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths and its main treatment modality if potentially curable is surgery but the optimal surgical resection is controversial. The aim of the current study was to assess the outcomes of curative D2 compared to D1 gastrectomy of operable gastric carcinoma regarding postoperative morbidity and mortality, disease recurrence and survival rates.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of a long biliopancreatic limb of Roux-en-Y reconstruction on diabetes control in patients with concurrent type 2 diabetes and gastric cancer

Evaluation of the impact of preoperative nutritional support on clinical outcomes in patients at nutritional risk. The primary endpoint was the complication rate and the second endpoint was the length of stay.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) after Billroth-I reconstruction (B-I) following distal gastrectomy, compared with Roux-en Y reconstruction (R-Y) in patients with gastric cancer.
