Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the risk factors associated with incident HGD/GA in patients with CAG with or without IM who are enrolled in endoscopic surveillance, as well as to compare GA incidence according to the OLGA and OLGIM scales in patients 18 years or older. .

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients atteding an EGD at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile health care system, an open health care system with three endoscopic units in Santiago, Chile.

Who may be able to join

  • At least one non-urgent outpatient esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with gastric biopsies collected following the Updated Sydney System Biopsy Protocol (USSBP) between June 2015 and June 2021.
  • Underwent a subsequent "surveillance" EGD. For the subsequent EGD to qualify as surveillance, it needed to occur at least six months after the baseline EGD and include gastric biopsies collected according to the USSBP; one exception to the USSBP requirement was if HGD or GA was detected on the surveillance.

Who cannot join

  • Prior history of HGD or any type of gastric malignancy, gastrectomy, or non-gastric active malignancy.
  • HGD or GA on the baseline EGD was excluded.

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Endoscopic Surveillance of Atrophic Gastritis With and Without Intestinal Metaplasia on a High-risk Population for Gastric Cancer in Latin America: The ECHOS Cohort Study.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the risk factors associated with incident HGD/GA in patients with CAG with or without IM who are enrolled in endoscopic surveillance, as well as to compare GA incidence according to the OLGA and OLGIM scales in patients 18 years or older.

. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What risk factors are associated with incident HGD/GA in patients with CAG with or without IM?
  • What is the comparative HGD/GA incidence according to the OLGA and OLGIM scales?
Read the detailed description

The Endoscopic Cohort and Histological OLGA staging (ECHOS) study is a retrospective longitudinal cohort developed in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile health care system, an open health care system with 3 endoscopic units in Santiago, Chile. Patients 18 years or older were eligible for the study if they had at least one non-urgent outpatient EGD with gastric biopsies collected following the USSBP between June 2015 and June 2021. The baseline EGD was defined as the earliest examination conducted between this time frame that met inclusion criteria. Participants were included in the cohort if they underwent a subsequent "surveillance" EGD. In order for the subsequent EGD to qualify as surveillance, it needed to occur at least 6 months after the baseline EGD and include gastric biopsies collected according to the USSBP; one exception to the USSBP requirement was if HGD or GA was detected on the surveillance (i.e. non-baseline) EGD. Patients with prior history of HGD or any type of gastric malignancy, gastrectomy or non-gastric active malignancy were excluded. Also, patients with HGD or GA on the baseline EGD were excluded. Patients with indefinite (IND) or low-grade dysplasia (LGD) on the baseline EGD were considered for the cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. High grade dysplasia/Gastric adenocarcinoma

    Progression from chronic atrophic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia according to baseline Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment (OLGA) staging in baseline measurement to high-grade dysplasia and adenocarcinoma.

    The OLGA uses grades from in tiered scale from 0 to IV, resulting from the combination of atrophic changes (0 = absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) in the two mucosal compartments (antrum and corpus).

    Measured: At least 6 months between first and second EGD, assessed up to 96 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Dysplasia Stomach, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile at 2 sites in Chile.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Chile. 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?

High grade dysplasia/Gastric adenocarcinoma (time frame: At least 6 months between first and second EGD, assessed up to 96 months). 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 Aug 2023.
