About this study

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a newly endoscopic device that enables microscopic view of the digestive tract. The purpose of this study is to determine if confocal laser endomicroscopy can improve detection of digestive disease include inflammation, dysplasia, and early cancer, and if confocal laser endomicroscopy has competitive advantage, compared with other device such as Narrow Band Imaging and Autofluoresecence Imaging.

Read the detailed description

Advances in endoscopy have led to imagining of the details of digestive mucosa. Novel techniques such as Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) assisted magnification endoscopy, Auto Fluorescence Imaging (AFI) or confocal laser endomicroscopy could, however, improve the endoscopic detection.In this research we describe the combined use of these three techniques in patients with digestive disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (Pentax/Optiscan)Device

    Also called Confocal endomicroscopy

    Confocal laser endomicroscopy is performed using the Pentax/Optiscan confocal endomicroscopy and 5 ml of 10% intravenous fluorescein sodium. Photos of magnified images of the digestive mucosa are taken during the procedure.

  • Narrow Band Imaging/Auto Fluorescence Imaging (Olympus)Device

    Also called Narrow Band Imaging(NBI), Auto Fluorescence Imaging(AFI)

    NBI/AFI endoscope offers an alternative light source involve NBI and AFI to view digestive mucosa in real time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Digestive System Diseases, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 23 Nov 2010. 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 China. 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 YunSheng Yang, MD (86-10-66939747, sunny888@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic yield for neoplasia of CLE vs. standard endoscopy (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01156064, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Nov 2010.
