Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to verify, through an open-label, prospective randomized trial, that administering a high-calorie enteral nutrition regimen (SED ONS) for 12 weeks to patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer, randomized into two groups, is superior to standard care alone in terms of suppressing postoperative weight loss.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Percentage change in weight at Day 84 (12 weeks after discharge) based on preoperative weight

Key secondary outcomes

1.Body weight change rate at baseline (pre-surgery weight), before the start of the intervention, Day 28, Day 56, Day 182, and Day 365
2.Body weight change rate at Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, Day 182, and Day 365 relative to the weight before the start of the intervention
3.Change rate in daily food intake (5-point self-assessment compared to pre-surgery, recorded in a diary)
4.Nutritional supplement intake (nutritional supplement diary)
5.Daily food intake (energy intake) relative to preoperative levels at the start of the study, Day 28, Day 56, and Day 84 (temperature plate information at the start of the study, and nutritional guidance for other periods)
6.Quality of life assessment: PGSAS-37 (Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale)8 before allocation, Day 84
7.Chemotherapy completion rate and adverse event assessment (only in cases where chemotherapy was administered) Day 84, Day 182, Day 365
8.Nutritional blood test values (total lymphocyte count, total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, prealbumin, cholinesterase) Pre-surgery, pre-randomization, Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, Day 182, Day 365
9.Body composition (impedance method) Changes in muscle mass, body fat mass, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and SMI from baseline (pre-surgery) to pre-randomization, Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, Day 182, and Day 365. However, measurements are not performed in patients with pacemakers.
10.Changes in grip strength and change rate Pre-surgery, Day 84

Food

Interventions/Control_1

Participants in Group A (SED ONS implementation) will begin taking SED ONS one day prior to the scheduled hospital admission date. SED ONS provides 400 kcal per 100 ml per day. Nutritional counseling will be provided to participants in Group A prior to discharge, and instructions on appropriate post-discharge meals will be explained.Prior to discharge, weight, body composition measurements, and QOL assessments will be conducted. Participants will self-assess their daily food intake by recording the ratio of their actual intake to the standard preoperative meal intake in a self-report diary. Additionally, instructions on how to take SED ONS and record intake in the diary will be provided.
After discharge, weight and body composition measurements will be conducted at outpatient visits on Days 28, 56, and 84. On Day 84, grip strength measurement and QOL assessment will also be performed. Blood tests will be recorded as part of routine clinical care. Weight and body composition measurements will be conducted again on Days 182 and 365.

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in Group B (control group) will receive nutritional counseling prior to discharge and be instructed on appropriate post-discharge diets. Weight, body composition measurements, and QOL assessments will be conducted prior to discharge. Participants will self-assess their daily food intake by recording the ratio of their intake to the preoperative standard dietary intake in a self-report diary.
After discharge, weight and body composition measurements will be conducted at outpatient visits on days 28, 56, and 84. On day 84, grip strength measurements and QOL assessments will also be conducted. Blood tests will be recorded as part of routine clinical care.Additionally, weight and body composition measurements will be conducted at 182 days and 365 days.
In Group B, if weight is less than 92% of preoperative weight at 84 days, SED ONS will be initiated from that point. The daily intake amount and timing will be the same as in Group A.
