Trial summary

Importance: There are no global screening recommendations for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Endoscopic screening has been investigated in high incidence areas of China since 1970's. But up until now there no apparent evidence that would lead to a reduction in disease morbidity and mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Endoscopic Screening on Esophageal Cancer Incidence and Mortality: 10-year Follow up of a Community-based, Controlled Study Among High Risk Population in China

Importance: There are no global screening recommendations for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Endoscopic screening has been investigated in high incidence areas of China since 1970's. But up until now there no apparent evidence that would lead to a reduction in disease morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To evaluate whether endoscopic screening and early intervention program could reduce the incidence or mortality of ESCC.

Design: Community-based, controlled cohort study among 45 386 residents, Endoscopy screening was completed from November 1999 to May of 2000. Subjects in intervention group were examined once during intervention period. The study follow-up concluded in December 2009.

Setting: High risk area of ESCC in China

Participants:Cluster sampling from communities with high rates of esophageal cancer. A set of villages with was selected as the study intervention community. Age 40 to 69 years residents were selected as an eligible population. Another set of villages was select as the control population. Buffer villages were set up between intervention and control group.

Intervention: Endoscopy with Lugol's iodine staining and early treatment on precancerous lesions was undergone for the intervention group.

Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s): Incidence and mortality ESCC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopy examination with iodine staining in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2014. 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?

incidence and mortality of ESCC (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT02094105, which also lists 6 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 21 Mar 2014.
