Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a study on genetic pathology, obtaining of pure cancer tissues is mandatory. Although the endoscopy with biopsy has been a gold standard for diagnosing gastric cancer, percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples is usually 30% or less. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to conduct a study on genetic pathology, obtaining of pure cancer tissues is mandatory. Although the endoscopy with biopsy has been a gold standard for diagnosing gastric cancer, percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples is usually 30% or less. Recently, confocal laser endomicroscopy has been introduced for real-time histopathologic diagnosis in various cancers. In previous pilot study in our institution, pCLE-targeted biopsy provided superior results in terms of the proportion of cancer cells in biopsy samples compared to WLE-targeted biopsy, especially for gastric cancers with undifferentiated histology. However, there was a limitation because of small sample size. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate that biopsy using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy for undifferentiated gastric cancer will increase the percentage of cancer cells and expression ratio of tumor marker in biopsy samples.

What participants receive

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

  • GastroFlex UHD, Cellvizio; Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, FranceDevice

    The patients who enrolled the pCLE group will undergo endoscopic biopsy using pCLE. The cancerous lesion is observed using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy. The biopsy was done at the most suspicious parts of the cancerous lesion.

  • white light endoscopy (WLE)Device

    The patients who enrolled this group will undergo endoscopic biopsy under standard white light endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GastroFlex UHD, Cellvizio; Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France and white light endoscopy (WLE) in people with Undifferentiated Gastric Cancer, run by Yonsei University 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 1 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 24 Oct 2017. 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 percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples (time frame: Day 3). 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 24 Oct 2017.
