Trial summary

This study is being done to see if a new approach to repair perforated ulcers in the stomach (holes in the stomach) or the first part of the intestine is possible. Traditionally, either open operations (large single incision) or laparoscopic operations (multiple small camera-guided incisions) have been used to repair… Read more about this study

About this study

This study is being done to see if a new approach to repair perforated ulcers in the stomach (holes in the stomach) or the first part of the intestine is possible. Traditionally, either open operations (large single incision) or laparoscopic operations (multiple small camera-guided incisions) have been used to repair perforated ulcers. Over the last ten years, some surgeons have used endoscopic equipment to assist them with performing the procedure. It is unknown if perforated ulcer repair can be done using an endoscope as the main instrument (a flexible tube with a video camera inserted into the stomach through your esophagus) to "patch" or plug the perforation. We will patch the perforation using a standard method which uses tissue from outside the stomach. A laparoscopic camera will also be used to assist our view. This study is intended to be a feasibility study to demonstrate the endoscopic technique can be safely performed

Hypothesis: The primary outcome is successful completion of the procedure.

Read the detailed description

Perforation is the most dangerous complication of gastroduodenal ulcer disease. It accounts for more than 70% of deaths associated with peptic ulcer disease. In addition to age and concomitant disease, intervention related complications are statistically significant predictors of death after hospital stay. Age, time to presentation and comorbidities are not factors that can be influenced. If it would be possible to reduce the impact of procedure related complications or the "second hit", that may lead to decreased morbidity and mortality.

This will be a pilot clinical study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of endoscopic translumenal omental patch closure. Patients with the clinical diagnosis of a perforated viscus who are scheduled to undergo surgical exploration will be recruited. Endoscopic translumenal omental patch will be attempted first if the patient has no contraindication. Should this prove unsuccessful, the surgical team will proceed with conversion to laparoscopic or open standard surgical therapy as indicated.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic Translumenal Omental PatchDevice

    Also called Ulcer repair surgery

    The endoscope will be gently advanced through the ulcer. Irrigation with saline will proceed. Then a viable mobile piece of omentum will be identified and pulled into the ulcer. After the omentum is located in the stomach, clips will be used to fix it in place.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Completing Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgical (NOTES) Repair

    At the time of surgery the repair was pressure tested using endoscopic insufflation. Two days post-operation all participants receiving the NOTES repair underwent a water-soluble contrast study to demonstrate leakage.

    Note: The NOTES procedure was attempted first if the subject had no contraindication. If this proved unsuccessful the surgical team proceeded with conversion to laparoscopic or open standard surgical therapy as indicated.

    Measured: 2 days post-operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic Translumenal Omental Patch in people with Peptic Ulcer, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 14 Apr 2015. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Apr 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Completing Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgical (NOTES) Repair (time frame: 2 days post-operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01080326, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Apr 2015.
