About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer after Laparoscopic Gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy. The main question it aims to answer is: whether HIPEC can effectively improving the 5-year overall survival rate and decrease the peritoneal metastases rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer underwent Laparoscopic Gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy. Participants will be divided into two groups, Experimental group received laparoscopic (robotic) D2 surgery plus HIPEC2 times plus systemic chemotherapy 6\~8 cycles; and Control group received laparoscopic (robotic) D2 surgery plus systemic chemotherapy 6\~8 cycles.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Gastric Cancer, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 616 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.
