What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are studying whether stomach cancers that start near the esophagus differ from those in the rest of the stomach. They collect saliva, blood, stool, and tissue samples from 120 adults with stomach cancer and compare them with healthy controls. Using advanced molecular analysis, the team looks for unique markers that could help spot these cancers earlier.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could identify biological markers that help detect gastric cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not lead to a practical screening test without further validation.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Case: The population in the case group signed an informed consent form, aged between 18 and 75 years. All subjects underwent endoscopic examination and were confirmed by pathological diagnosis as gastric cancer, including high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, early gastric cancer, and advanced gastric cancer. Control: The age and gender of the study subjects in the control group were matched to the study population in the case group. The pathological results of the stomach of all subjects showed no malignant changes, including normal gastric mucosa, superficial gastritis, non atrophic gastritis, and gastric polyps, etc.

Ages

18 to 75 years

Sex

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Study population signing informed consent form * Age: 18-75 years old * The study population must underwent endoscopic examination and was confirmed by pathological diagnosis as gastric cancer: including high-level intraepithelial neoplasia, early gastric cancer, and advanced gastric cancer. Exclusion Criteria: * Those who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery within the past 1 year; Patients who have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy and have developed tumors in the residual stomach after previous partial gastrectomy. * Those who have used proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics, probiotics, and prebiotics daily within the past month, and those who have recently received hormone therapy. * People with infectious diseases and other digestive system diseases that interfere with the experimental results, such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.
