Brief summary

Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) results from the mechanical obstruction of the duodenum or distal stomach from an underlying cancer. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes between surgical gastrojejunostomy and EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction.

Detailed description

Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) results from the mechanical obstruction of the duodenum or distal stomach from an underlying cancer. The consequences of GOO are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, inability to maintain an oral diet and weight loss, with associated poor quality of life and inability to continue with cancer therapy. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes between surgical gastrojejunostomy and EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction.

Interventions

AXIOS lumen-apposing metal stent will be used to create a gastrojejunostomy under EUS guidance.

A surgical gastrojejunostomy will be created via laparoscopic or robotic techniques (preferred) or open technique (if these methods fail), as clinically appropriate.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Composite end point of inability to tolerate a solid diet (defined as gastric outlet obstruction scoring system score <2) or requiring additional interventions or supplemental nutrition or procedure-related adverse events.6 monthsProportion of patients unable to tolerate a solid diet at time of hospital discharge (defined as gastric outlet obstruction scoring system score \<2) or requiring additional interventions or supplemental nutrition or procedure-related adverse events.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS) score of ≥ 2 at 6-month post-procedure, without the need for repeat intervention or supplemental nutrition such as the use of enteric feeding tubes or total parenteral nutrition (TPN).6 monthsProportion of patients with Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS) score of ≥ 2 at 6-month post-procedure, without the need for repeat intervention or supplemental nutrition such as the use of enteric feeding tubes or total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Rate of technical success24 hoursTechnical success is defined as the successful creation of a gastrojejunal anastomosis by the originally assigned method.
Procedure duration24 hoursProcedure duration for EUS-guided and surgical gastrojejunostomy procedures
Time to diet advancement1 monthTime to liquid diet (GOOSS score 1), soft solid diet (GOOSS score 2) and regular solid diet (GOOSS score 3).
Time to recurrence of obstructive symptoms6 monthsRecurrence of obstructive symptoms, defined as the recurrence of obstructive symptoms (GOOSS score ≤ 1) after achieving GOOSS ≥ 2 for at least 7 days at any time during follow-up.
Rate of persistence of symptoms6 monthsPersistent of obstructive symptoms, defined as continuing symptoms up to 2 weeks after index procedure.
Rate of reintervention6 monthsReintervention, defined as need for repeat treatment for persistent or recurrent obstructive symptoms. Reintervention can be any endoscopic or surgical therapy.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS) score of ≥ 2 at 1-month post-procedure, without the need for repeat intervention or supplemental nutrition such as the use of enteric feeding tubes or total parenteral nutrition (TPN).6 monthsProportion of patients with Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS) score of ≥ 2 at 1-month post-procedure, without the need for repeat intervention or supplemental nutrition such as the use of enteric feeding tubes or total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
Rate of adverse events due to procedures performed6 monthsProcedure-related adverse events
Rate of adverse events due to underlying disease6 monthsDisease-related adverse events
Total length of hospital stay6 monthsDuration of hospitalization, defined as the length of hospital stay from the date of the procedure to the date of discharge.
Length of survival6 monthsDuration of survival post-procedure.

Quality of life measurement6 monthsQuality of life post-procedure as determined by the EORTC-QLQ-C30 quality of life questionnaire.
Treatment costs6 monthsAll relevant costs pertaining to treatment of gastric outlet obstruction will be taken into consideration from index intervention to hospital discharge: procedure costs, inpatient hospital stay from date of procedure to discharge, medications, materials, anesthesia, pharmacy and imaging studies.
Total number of readmissions6 monthsTotal no. of readmissions due to disease-related symptoms or procedure-related events.
