Trial summary

Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (tLESr) are the main mechanism of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. They occur without any deglutition in patients but also in healthy volunteers. They are induced by meal. The gold standard to detect tLESr is esophageal manometry using perfused Dentsleeve probe. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxations Detection Using High Resolution Manometry. Validation in Healthy Volunteers.

Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (tLESr) are the main mechanism of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. They occur without any deglutition in patients but also in healthy volunteers. They are induced by meal.

The gold standard to detect tLESr is esophageal manometry using perfused Dentsleeve probe.

Esophageal high resolution manometry with solid state sensors was developed in the 90s. The examination is easier and more accurate than perfused manometry. The aim of this study is to validate in healthy volunteers the use of high resolution manometry (Sierra Scientific Instruments, California CA) to detect tLESr.

What participants receive

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

  • Esophageal high resolution manometry associated or not with manometry with perfused Dentsleeve probe (as determined by randomization)Device

    Visit V0 (day 0 - 2 to 14 days):

    • Subject selection
    • Obtaining of written informed consent

    Visit V1 (day 0):

    • Fasting subject
    • Randomization to determine the examination order
    • Esophageal high resolution manometry (Sierra Scientific Instruments, California CA) associated or not with manometry with perfused Dentsleeve probe (as determined by randomisation): 3-hour recording (1 hour fasting, ingestion of a 600-kcal liquid meal in 10 minutes, 2 hours post prandial)

    Visit V2 (day 0 + 1 day): Phone contact

    Visit V3 (day 0 + 2 to 7 days):

    • Same as V1

    Visit V4 (V3 + 1 day): Phone contact and end of the study

Study groups in NCT00931593
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
volunteersExperimentalThis is a descriptive study to compare two techniques (manometry with perfused dentsleeve probe vs high resolution manometry for the identification of tLESr). Each subject is his own control. The date of perfused manometry is randomized to avoid bias due to examinations' order.
Receives: Device: Esophageal high resolution manometry associated or not with manometry with perfused Dentsleeve probe (as determined by randomization)

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome is to demonstrate that high resolution manometry allows the detection of meal-induced tLESr. All recordings will be analyzed at the end of each examination and reviewed at the end of the enrolment.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To compare the number of tLESr detected by high resolution manometry and those detected by manometry with perfused dentsleeve probe.

  2. To define the characteristics (duration, relaxation amplitude) of high resolution manometry-detected tLESr.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophageal high resolution manometry associated or not with manometry with perfused Dentsleeve probe (as determined by randomization) in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 3 sites in France.

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 8 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 2 Jul 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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 ROMAN Sabine, MD (04 72 11 01 36, sabine.roman@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary outcome is to demonstrate that high resolution manometry allows the detection of meal-induced tLESr. All recordings will be analyzed at the end of each examination and reviewed at the end of the enrolment.. 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 2 Jul 2009.
