Terminated

Stopped early. The study ended before it was planned to and will not resume.

Trial summary

The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that of conventional… Read more about this study

About this study

The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that of conventional endoscopy using high definition-white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients with Barrett's esophagus.

Being tested
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with high definition-white light end endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI), Olympus Disposable Distal Attachment Cap

What participants receive

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

  • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with high definition-white light end endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI)Procedure or surgery

    Also called EGD

    -The second endoscopist will be blinded to the results of the initial exam.

  • Olympus Disposable Distal Attachment CapDevice

    Also called Cap

    -The second endoscopist will be blinded to the results of the initial exam.

Arm 1: EGD with cap first, followed by EGD without capExperimental-Participants in the first arm will undergo EGD with cap first, followed by EGD without cap in the same procedural period.
Receives: Procedure: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with high definition-white light end endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI); Device: Olympus Disposable Distal Attachment Cap
Arm 2: EGD without cap first, followed by EGD with capExperimental-Participants in the second arm will undergo EGD without cap first, followed by EGD with cap in the same procedural period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Had a Diagnostic Yield Obtained

    -Diagnostic yield is defined as Barrett's esophagus lesions that were identified and confirmed histologically as low grade dysplasia, high grade dysplasia, intramucosal cancer, or invasive adenocarcinoma

    Measured: At the time of procedure (day 1)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Visible Lesions in EGD With Cap Versus Without Cap

    Measured: At the time of procedure (day 1)

  2. Number of Participants With High Grade Dysplasia or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

    Measured: At the time of procedure (day 1)

  3. Total Procedure Duration in Seconds

    Measured: At the time of procedure (day 1)

  4. Safety as Measured by Number of Participants With Procedure-related Adverse Events

    • The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
    • Adverse events were collected for the entire procedure as a whole and for 48 hours after the procedure and were not separately collected for each part of the procedure (EGD without CAP versus EGD with CAP).

    Measured: Through 48 hours after EGD

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with high definition-white light end endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) and Olympus Disposable Distal Attachment Cap in people with Barrett Esophagus, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2022. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jul 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Who Had a Diagnostic Yield Obtained (time frame: At the time of procedure (day 1)). 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 1 Sep 2022.
