About this study

Official title: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in Exhaled Breath for the Detection of Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Cross sectional case-control study investigating the difference of volatile organic compound in the exhaled breath of the patients with GI bleeding and normal population.

Read the detailed description

This study investigates the difference of volatile organic compound in the exhaled breath of the patients with GI bleeding and normal population. We aimed to find out the biomarkers for GI bleeding.

Being tested
Collection of exhaled breath
Medical subject headings
Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

What participants receive

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

  • Collection of exhaled breathDiagnostic test

    Collection of exhaled breath will be analyzed for specific volatile organic compounds which show different distribution between groups

Study groups in NCT04226079
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normal controlNormal population with low prevalence of gastrointestinal bleeding who underwent EGD and CFS which revealed no abnormal finding.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Collection of exhaled breath
Patients with GI bleedingPatients who visited emergency room and were highly suspected to have recent or active upper GI bleeding and scheduled for upper GI endoscopy.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Collection of exhaled breath

What is being measured

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

  1. VOC Patterns

    Patterns of volatile organic compounds recognized by sensor array

    Measured: 1 day of 1st emergency room (ER) visit for GI bleeding

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measurement of VOC

    Qualitative and quantitative assay of volatile organic compounds by GC-MS

    Measured: 1 day of 1st emergency room (ER) visit for GI bleeding

  2. Change of VOC patterns

    Change of the patterns of volatile organic compounds recognized by sensor array after recovery from GI bleeding

    Measured: 2nd visit (about 2weeks apart from 1st visit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage and Volatile Organic Compounds, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 3 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 13 Jan 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact JIN JU CHOI, M.D. (01028087284, wallet87@hanmail.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VOC Patterns (time frame: 1 day of 1st emergency room (ER) visit for GI bleeding). 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 13 Jan 2020.
