Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Surgery can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. However, some patients are at a later stage at diagnosis and need to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Previous studies have shown that NACT may lead to more postoperative complications. Probiotics have the potential to reduce postoperative complications and infections, but no large sample, multicentre, randomized clinical trials have been conducted in patients with gastric cancer receiving NACT. The aim of this multicentre randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of probiotics on postoperative infections and other short-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer receiving NACT.

Methods/design: This study is a prospective, multicentre RCT. This experiment will consist of two groups - an experimental group and a control group - randomly divided in a 1:1 ratio. The experimental group will receive perioperative probiotic supplement and that of the control group will receive blank control management. An estimated 318 patients will be enrolled. The main endpoint for comparison is postoperative infections between the two groups.The experimental group patients received probiotic capsules containing Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Enterococcus faecalis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Probiotic Group

PG (probiotic group) patients received probiotic capsules containing Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Enterococcus faecalis. The intervention begins from the completion of preoperative chemotherapy to the seventh day after surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

live combined Bifidobacteriun, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus capsules

Intervention Type DRUG

Probiotics capsules containing Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Enterococcus faecalis. Each capsule contained\>10,000,000 colony-forming units (CFUs). This drug can treat endoxemia caused by imbalance of intestinal flora.

Control Group

CG (Control Group) patients receive blank control management.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
