Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Chinese, above 50 years old, at high risk of gastric cancer

Who may be able to join

  • The subject is Chinese
  • The subject is greater than 50 years of age
  • The subject satisfies one or more of the following criteria:
  • has (had) a history of dyspepsia of at least 4 weeks or more. Dyspeptic symptoms include bloating, epigastric discomfort and early satiety
  • has a family history of gastric cancer
  • has a medical condition for which an OGD is indicated.
  • The subject must have personally signed and dated the patient informed consent form indicating that he/she has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
  • The subject must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and other study procedures

Who cannot join

  • The subject who has bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia, in whom biopsies are contraindicated.
  • The subject with liver cirrhosis.
  • The subject with previous total or partial gastrectomy.
  • The subject with severe co-morbid illness, such as end-stage renal failure (ESRF), congestive cardiac failure (CCF), severe osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) requiring long term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy.
  • The subject has other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may interfere with the interpretation of study results and in the judgment of the investigator would make the subject unsuitable for entry into the study.
  • The subject is currently on anti-coagulant therapy such as warfarin. Patients on aspirin, ticlopidine and clopidogrel must undergo a one-week washout period before enroling in the study.
  • The subject has a history of bronchial asthma, or a known allergy to fluorescein.
  • The subject is unwilling or unable to provide signed informed consent.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Use of Confocal Endomicroscopy in Conjunction With Chromoendoscopy in the Detection of Gastric Preneoplastic Neoplasia and Neoplasia in a High-Risk Population (R-CE-GCEP)

This is a prospective randomised study investigating the use of chromoendoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy for the detection of preneoplastic neoplasm in patients at high-risk of gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomised study investigating the use of chromoendoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy for the detection of preneoplastic neoplasm in patients at high-risk of gastric cancer. Patients are randomised to undergo upper endoscopy using either confocal laser endomicroscopy or standard whitelight endoscopy to investigate for gastric preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions.Results are compared to histopathologic diagnosis made on biopsies obtained during endoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic yield

    The diagnostic yield, number of tissue biopsies per patient and percentage of missed lesions for CLE arm will be obtained by analyzing as though only targeted tissue biopsies are taken (CLE-TB), meaning that tissue biopsy is considered to have been performed only if the endoscopist gave the CLE diagnosis of GIM, dysplasia or malignancy. If the CLE diagnosis is normal, targeted tissue biopsy will be analyzed as not having been taken, and the corresponding histology for that site is for documenting any misdiagnosis by CLE in this study.

    Measured: On histopathologic diagnosis, usually 1-2 days after endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 28 Jun 2011. 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 Singapore. 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?

Diagnostic yield (time frame: On histopathologic diagnosis, usually 1-2 days after endoscopy). 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 28 Jun 2011.
