About this study

Official title: Comparison Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy With Conventional Endoscopy for the Detection of Early Gastric Cancers

The purpose of this study is to determine whether endomicroscopy can improve the detection of Early Gastric Cancers (EGC).

Read the detailed description

Endoscopy is proved to be the best method to achieve early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC). Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), a new diagnostic modality, has been shown to be valuable in increasing the diagnostic yield of colorectal neoplasias, but it is not clear whether CLE is helpful to find out early gastric cancer (EGC).The aim of the study is to investigate the value of CLE in improving the detection of EGCs.

Being tested
Endomicroscope (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan), Gastroscopes (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Endomicroscope (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)Device

    Also called Pentax EC3870K endomicroscope

    A Pentax EC3870K endomicroscope which can produce conventional white light endoscopic images and confocal images at the same time with a optical slice thickness of 7 μm, a lateral resolution of 0.7 μm, a scanning depth of 0 to 250 μm, a pixel density of 1024×512 pixels (at an image acquisition rate of 1.6 frames/second),and a field of view of 475 μm×475 μm.

  • Gastroscopes (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)Device

    Also called Pentax EG-2940 gastroscopes (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)

    Conventional white light gastroscopes (Pentax EG-2940 gastroscopes)

Study groups in NCT00851305

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the rate of EGCs/GCs using CLE versus conventional gastroscopy.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of in vivo CLE on different pathological characteristics of EGCs.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endomicroscope (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan) and Gastroscopes (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan) in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Precancerous Conditions, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the rate of EGCs/GCs using CLE versus conventional gastroscopy. (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2012.
