About this study

Official title: Wide Area Transepithelial Sample Esophageal Biopsy Combined With Computer Assisted 3-Dimensional Analysis (WATS) for the Detection of Esophageal Dysplasia: A Prospective, Randomized, Tandem Study

Patients will be recruited from participating institutions prior to planned routine care EGD with WATS3D brush samples and forceps biopsies. Eligibility will be reviewed and patients who are potentially eligible for the study will be approached regarding the study. If interested, participants will be consented and proceed with routine care EGD. The study coordinator or other research personnel will document information from the routine care endoscopy as part of this research study. Follow-up information collected will include WATS3D cytology and forceps biopsy pathology results from any routine care endoscopy performed during the course of participation in the study, any surgeries received and related to their condition, and any other care received as part of their condition. WATS3D samples will be sent to CDx Diagnostics for analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Outcomes of patients undergoing WATS sampling. Specifically incremental yield for Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Dysplasia due to WATS sampling above that noted from routine forceps biopsies in various clinical settings.

    Measured: up to 18 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Barrett Esophagus and Esophageal Dysplasia, run by CDx Diagnostics 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 4 Nov 2021. 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?

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?

Outcomes of patients undergoing WATS sampling. Specifically incremental yield for Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Dysplasia due to WATS sampling above that noted from routine forceps biopsies in various clinical settings. (time frame: up to 18 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 NCT03008980, 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?
