Trial summary

Confocal endomicroscopy (CLE) allows real-time in-vivo high-resolution and high-magnification imaging of the gastrointestinal epithelium, which is comparable to histopathology. Previous studies have investigated the accuracy of pCLE for diagnosis and differentiated of colorectal polyps, Barrett's esophagus and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Accuracy of Probe-based Confocal Endomicroscopy Versus Conventional Biopsies for the Diagnosis of Superficial Gastric Neoplasias

Confocal endomicroscopy (CLE) allows real-time in-vivo high-resolution and high-magnification imaging of the gastrointestinal epithelium, which is comparable to histopathology. Previous studies have investigated the accuracy of pCLE for diagnosis and differentiated of colorectal polyps, Barrett's esophagus and pancreaticobiliary strictures. However, to date there are limited data exploring the application of pCLE to gastric lesions, and this is the first study comparing the diagnosis of conventional forceps biopsy with that of pCLE using the final specimens obtained from endoscopic resection as a reference standard. The aims of this study were (1) the accuracy of pCLE compared to conventional forceps biopsy using histopathology results following endoscopic resection as a reference, and (2) comparison of "real time" in-vivo pCLE diagnosis with that of blinded "off-line" pCLE diagnosis, and off-line interobserver agreement.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Superficial gastric neoplasiaPatients with superficial gastric neoplasia on diagnostic endoscopy, recieved both conventional endoscopic forcpes biopsies and pCLE. All patients were subject to endoscopic resection of the lesion.
Receives: Procedure: Endoscopic submucosal dissection

What is being measured

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

  1. The accuracy of pCLE compared to conventional forceps biopsy

    The accuracy of pCLE compared to conventional forceps biopsy was assessed using histopathology results following endoscopic resection as a reference

    Measured: in-vivo pCLE accuracy compared to conventional forceps biopsy was assessed 1-2 weeks prior to endoscopic resection.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of "real time" in-vivo pCLE diagnosis with that of blinded "off-line" pCLE diagnosis.

    Measured: 1-3 months after endoscopic resection and final histopathological analysis

  2. Off-line pCLE interobserver agreement

    Measured: 1-3 months after endoscopic resection and final histopathological analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Early Gastric Cancer and Gastric Dysplasia, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 20 Sep 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 South Korea. 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?

The accuracy of pCLE compared to conventional forceps biopsy (time frame: in-vivo pCLE accuracy compared to conventional forceps biopsy was assessed 1-2 weeks prior to endoscopic resection.). 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 NCT01688687, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 20 Sep 2012.
