NCT04943406

Brief Summary

This study investigates the prognostic role of liquid biopsy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Liquid biopsy for the detection of circulating tumor DNA will be performed:

  • In the peritoneal lavage, during staging laparoscopy (if indicated) and during curative gastrectomy
  • In plasma, before staging laparoscopy (if indicated), before curative gastrectomy, at hospital discharge, three months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, and in case of disease recurrence. The aim of this study is to determine the predictive power of liquid biopsy on overall survival and disease free survival.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Prognostic impact of ctDNA positivity

    To evaluate the prognostic impact (overall survival and disease-free survival) of ctDNA positivity in peritoneal lavage and peripheral blood of patients with resectable, stage \< IV, gastric cancer

    At disease recurrence or at 3-year follow up

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Rate of ctDNA positivity in peritoneal lavage and peripheral blood

    Peritoneal lavage: at staging laparoscopy and at curative surgery; plasma: before staging laparoscopy, before curative surgery, at hospital discharge, 3 months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, at disease recurrence

  • Correlation between ctDNA detection and clinical and tumoral patients' characteristics

    Peritoneal lavage: at staging laparoscopy and at curative surgery; plasma: before staging laparoscopy, before curative surgery, at hospital discharge, 3 months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, at disease recurrence

  • Dynamics of ctDNA detection in peritoneal lavage and peripheral blood in patients undergoing pre-operative chemotherapy

    Peritoneal lavage: at staging laparoscopy and at curative surgery; plasma: before staging laparoscopy, before curative surgery, at hospital discharge, 3 months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, at disease recurrence

  • Dynamics of ctDNA detection in peripheral blood in patients undergoing pre-and post-operative chemotherapy, and at disease recurrence

    Peritoneal lavage: at staging laparoscopy and at curative surgery; plasma: before staging laparoscopy, before curative surgery, at hospital discharge, 3 months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, at disease recurrence

  • Prognostic impact of ctDNA positivity in peritoneal lavage and peripheral blood on the risk of peritoneal and distant metastases

    Peritoneal lavage: at staging laparoscopy and at curative surgery; plasma: before staging laparoscopy, before curative surgery, at hospital discharge, 3 months after surgery/at the end of adjuvant therapy, at disease recurrence

Study Population

Patients with histologically proven gastric or GEJ Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma with indication to either staging laparoscopy followed by perioperative chemotherapy and surgery with curative intent, or surgery with curative intent without perioperative treatment, will be included.

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically proven gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ -Siewert type II -III) adenocarcinoma
  • More than cT2 and/or N + (UICC 8th edition)
  • Written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of ascites or distant metastases
  • Previous chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma
  • Previous gastric surgery
  • Absolute contraindications to surgery
  • Concomitant malignancies or history of other malignancies in the previous 5 years (with exception of in situ cervical carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumors are allowed if curatively treated).
