Can a simple test predict stomach cancer return?
NCT ID NCT04665687
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is collecting tissue and blood samples from 1,730 people with early gastric cancer or precancerous stomach growths. Researchers will analyze the genetic profiles of these samples to find markers that could help diagnose these conditions early and predict if the cancer might come back after treatment. The goal is to improve personalized care for patients.
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 could lead to better ways to diagnose early gastric cancer and predict which patients might have a recurrence after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and the markers identified may not prove useful in practice.

Who is studied
A total of 1730 patients with early gastric cancer and precancerous gastric adenoma will be enrolled. Based on previous studies, approximately 20% of the subjects are expected to have mutations. In this study, metachronous tumor recurrence rate between the mutation group and non-mutation group will be compared. In general, metachronous tumor recurrent rate after endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer or gastric ademona is reported to be 6%-10%. In this study, the metachronous tumor recurrence rate is expected to be 10% and 5% in the mutation and non-mutation group, respectively. When a two-sided chi-square test with a power of 5% and 90% type 1 error is performed, 346 and 1384 subjected are expected to be included in the mutation group and non-mutation group, respectively.
