Trial summary

Study design: A randomized non-blinded controlled clinical trial with two study arms (G-POEM and PEG-J).

About this study

Official title: 'Treatment Outcome of Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Pyloromyotomy in Comparison With Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy With Jejunal Extension in Medically Refractory Gastroparesis: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial'

Study design: A randomized non-blinded controlled clinical trial with two study arms (G-POEM and PEG-J). Treatment success is measured using the GCSI at baseline before intervention and six months after intervention with a possible cross-over after six months of follow-up.

Study population: 50 patients with therapy refractory GP on dietary advices, prokinetics and possibly tube feeding (gastric rest) who have already been referred for additional treatment options in the form of PEG-J/ G-POEM.

Intervention: Group 1 will receive G-POEM treatment and group 2 will receive PEG-J treatment.

Main study parameters/endpoints: A clinically meaningful treatment success six months after G-POEM treatment, measured using the GCSI-score defined as a decrease of 1 or more point.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with treatment success using the GCSI-score in patients with refractory GP undergoing G-POEM compared to patients receiving a PEG-J at t = 6 months.

    A treatment success will be defined as a decrease of at least one point on the GCSI (range 0-5), representing a clinically relevant difference, six months after intervention in comparison with baseline before intervention.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of patients with treatment success using the GCSI-score in patients with refractory GP undergoing G-POEM compared to patients receiving a PEG-J at t = 12 months.

    We hypothesize that the treatment success rate is higher in the G-POEM group in comparison with the PEG-J intervention group twelve months after intervention compared to baseline.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Degree of quality of life using the PAGI-QOL in the G-POEM group in comparison with the PEG-J intervention six months after intervention.

    We hypothesize that quality of life is higher in the G-POEM intervention group compared to the PEG-J intervention group six months after treatment.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Number and severity of (s)AEs in the treatment groups.

    We hypothesize that no severe adverse events take place and the only mild to moderate adverse events that will take place are expected to be abdominal pain, pneumoperitoneum, mucosal injury, or wound infection.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Predictive value of the etiology of gastroparesis on treatment outcomes following G-POEM by measuring the rate of treatment success quantified by improvements in the GCSI-score.

    We hypothesize that differences in etiology can predict treatment success after G-POEM.

    Measured: 6-12 months

  5. Predictive value of the etiology of gastroparesis on treatment outcomes following PEG-J by measuring the rate of treatment success quantified by improvements in the GCSI-score.

    We hypothesize that differences in etiology can predict treatment success after PEG-J.

    Measured: 6-12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing G-POEM in people with Gastroparesis, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 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 17 Apr 2024. 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 Netherlands. 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 Kim Sweerts (+31 88 388 7298, kim.sweerts@maastrichtuniversity.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with treatment success using the GCSI-score in patients with refractory GP undergoing G-POEM compared to patients receiving a PEG-J at t = 6 months. (time frame: 6 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 17 Apr 2024.
