About this study

Official title: Performance of White Light, Narrow Band Imaging and Iodine Staining Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Esophageal Squamous Epithelium Lesions: A Multicenter Clinical Study in China

The investigators aim to evaluate the performance of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) endoscopy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) screening, as compared to the currently used White Light Endoscopy (WLE) and Lugol's Iodine Staining Endoscopy (ISE). NBI is a simple, safe and non-invasive technique, which can provide real-time optical staining for suspicious lesions. This trial is designated to enroll 10000 participants from five centers located in different regions (North, West and South) in China, which would provide real-world evidence for the recommendation of endoscopic diagnostic technique used in ESCC screening projects.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic examination using white light, NBI and iodine stainingDiagnostic test

    Participants' esophagus will be examined by three commonly used diagnostic techniques in the order of : 1. White light endoscopy (WLE); 2. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) and 3. Iodine Staining Endoscopy (ISE) with 1.2% Lugol's iodine solution. The required observation time is no less than 1 minute for WLE and 2 minutes for NBI and ISE. Endoscopic images of each participant are routinely captured at every 5 centimeters in the esophagus, and information is recorded in detail for each focal lesion. Biopsies are taken from all visually abnormal areas found by any one of the three techniques, histopathologic diagnoses are rendered by two pathologists according to standard criteria and discrepancies are adjudicated by consultation. The recorded endoscopic images for each biopsied lesion are read by two trained researchers and the visualized feature of lesions are decomposed into several indicators (e.g. size, shape, color, and border of lesions) .

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Opportunistic screening cohortExperimentalThis opportunistic screening cohort is constructed among patients aged 45-69 years who undergo endoscopic examinations at the endoscopy center in any of the five hospitals included in this study. Enrolled participants are requested to complete a computer aided one-on-one questionnaire regarding demographic factors, smoking and alcohol drinking status, dietary habits,digestive tract symptoms and family history of ESCC. Then experienced endoscopists will perform the upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination for each participant, and the entire esophagus will be visually examined with the white light, NBI and iodine staining endoscopic examination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of WLE, NBI and ISE in the diagnosis of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia and above lesions in esophagus

    Sensitivity of WLE, NBI and ISE, taking results from histopathological analysis of the biopsy specimens as the golden standard.

    Measured: 0 days

  2. Specificity of WLE, NBI and ISE in the diagnosis of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia and above lesions in esophagus

    Specificity of WLE, NBI and ISE, taking results from histopathological analysis of the biopsy specimens as the golden standard.

    Measured: 0 days

  3. Positive predictive value (PPV) of WLE, NBI and ISE in the diagnosis of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia and above lesions in esophagus

    PPV of WLE, NBI and ISE, taking results from histopathological analysis of the biopsy specimens as the golden standard.

    Measured: 0 days

  4. Negative predictive value (NPV) of WLE, NBI and ISE in the diagnosis of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia and above lesions in esophagus

    NPV of WLE, NBI and ISE, taking results from histopathological analysis of the biopsy specimens as the golden standard.

    Measured: 0 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Weight of each visualized abnormal feature of lesions

    The estimated odds ratio of each decomposed graphic abnormal features of lesions, taking "severe dysplasia and above" diagnosed via histopathological analysis as the outcome events.

    Measured: 0 days

  2. Discrimination of visualized abnormal features

    The area under the curve (AUC) of visualized graphic abnormal features for predicting severe dysplasia and above lesions.

    Measured: 0 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic examination using white light, NBI and iodine staining in people with Mild Dysplasia of Esophagus and Moderate Dysplasia of Esophagus, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute at 5 sites 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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yang Ke, MD (86-10-88196762, keyang@bjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of WLE, NBI and ISE in the diagnosis of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia and above lesions in esophagus (time frame: 0 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Nov 2019.
