Trial summary

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique that has replaced surgery in the treatment of early neoplastic lesions of the stomach (LNPS). ESD of LNPS allows: a) less invasiveness compared to surgery; b) greater chances of "en bloc" resection and R0 resection compared to mucosectomy for lesions larger than… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for the Treatment of Superficial Gastric Neoplasms - An Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED) Study

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique that has replaced surgery in the treatment of early neoplastic lesions of the stomach (LNPS). ESD of LNPS allows: a) less invasiveness compared to surgery; b) greater chances of "en bloc" resection and R0 resection compared to mucosectomy for lesions larger than 15 mm. Recent 2015 ESGE guidelines provide precise recommendations for the use of ESD in the treatment of LNPS, but Italy lacks prospective data on the efficacy and safety of ESD in a large sample of patients. A multicenter prospective observational study to create a database on the use of ESD in LNPS is essential to provide information regarding the efficacy and safety of ESD in Italy. This database would also provide information regarding the criteria applied in the use of ESD in the treatment of early gastric neoplasia

What is being measured

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

  1. En bloc resection rate

    removal of the lesion into a single piece.

    Measured: 10 years

  2. R0 resection rate

    complete removal of the tumor with histologically lateral and vertical margins of the specimen free from dysplasia

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Curative resection rate

    R0 resection with combined microstaging parameters not suggestive for high metastatic potential risk.

    Measured: 10 years

  4. Complication rate

    bleeding, perforation and stenosis.

    Measured: 10 years

  5. Recurrence rate

    dysplastic tissue at the site of resection at follow-up endoscopy.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2025. 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 Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Federico Barbaro (3921101013, federico.barbaro@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

En bloc resection rate (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 5 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 14 Mar 2025.
