Enteral Anastomosis for the Treatment of Gastric Outlet Obstruction: A Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Endoscopic Versus Surgical Gastrojejunostomy — EAT-GO  

Gastric Outlet Obstruction Clinical Trial

Official title: Enteral Anastomosis for the Treatment of Gastric Outlet Obstruction: A Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Endoscopic Versus Surgical Gastrojejunostomy

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) occurs commonly in malignancies involving the periampullary region (cancers originating in the head of the pancreas, duodenum, bile duct, or ampulla) or the distal stomach. GOO not only causes debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate oral intake, and prevents adequate nutritional intake. Therefore, providing therapy for GOO is imperative to improve the quality of life, and nutritional status of these patients, as well as allow them to continue receiving their cancer treatment

Clinical Trial Description

After potential subjects are screened from the physicians' schedules, they will be assessed for further inclusion criteria. They will be presented with the informed consent form for their review. Once they have been given the opportunity to review and ask questions, they will sign the consent form and from this point will be considered enrolled into the study.

After signing the informed consent, subjects will be randomized to one of the two cohorts in a 1:1 manner.

On the day of their assigned procedures, subjects will be asked several quality of life questionnaires to obtain a baseline status.

Data will be collected during and immediately following the procedure to assess for any possible adverse events.

Follow-up data will be completed at the following timepoints: 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, and 7-day, 30-day, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year post-procedure.
