About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Novel Endoscopic Polypectomy Device in Excised Human Colon and Gastric Tissue.

This feasibility trial will evaluate the ability of the SuMO Tissue Access and Resection System (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Texas). The SuMO System utilizes balloons to create a submucosal pocket and electrosurgical cutting device to resect the mucosa. The SuMO elevates the tissue from the underlying muscularis using a balloon to distend the submucosa, similar to what is currently performed with injectable saline in a standard EMR. After dissection of the lesion, a separate cutting device will be utilized to resect the tissue by cutting around the border of the targeted tissue. If needed, a standard loop snare will be used to complete the mucosal resection.

Read the detailed description

The subject will already be scheduled for segmental colectomy or gastrectomy.

The colectomy or gastrectomy specimen will be prepared on a side table for an ex vivo endoscopic procedure. The ends of the stomach or colon, if not already stapled closed will be ligated to allow for insufflation. The endoscope will be placed into the excised organ and the SuMO System devices will be deployed away from any areas of excised pathologic tissue, so as not to disrupt the pathologist's evaluation of the excised tissue. The specimen will then be opened and grossly examined for the actual completeness of the submucosal pocket and resection. Mucosal and muscular wall disruptions will be assessed. Again, no interference in the underlying pathology will be performed. If sufficient specimen is present, the SuMO procedure may be repeated on the same specimen.

Following the performance of the EMR by the SUMO balloon system on the ex vivo colon specimen, both the resected piece of tissue and the site of resection will be evaluated pathologically by H and E staining. Specifically, the depth of resection in the ex vivo colon specimen will be determined. In addition, the level of dissection on the removed piece of mucosa will also be identified.

During this procedure still images or a video recording maybe captured, however all images will be taken of the removed specimen. There will not be any patient identifiers on any of the images or DVD's taken during the procedure.

No clinical follow up is required, as the treated area will have already been resected and there is no risk to the patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence of the ability of the SUMO device to create a submucosal pocket and resect the overlying mucosa in human colon or stomach.

    Assess the feasibility of the SuMO device for creation of a submucosal pocket and resecting the overlying mucosa in a segment of excised human colon or stomach.

    Measured: (day one)The colon or stomach tissue is evaluated in the Operating Room immediatley following excision. Subjects are not followed after using the excised tissue in the operating room.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tissue Access and Resection System in people with Colon Disease and Gastric Disease, run by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Evidence of the ability of the SUMO device to create a submucosal pocket and resect the overlying mucosa in human colon or stomach. (time frame: (day one)The colon or stomach tissue is evaluated in the Operating Room immediatley following excision. Subjects are not followed after using the excised tissue in the operating room.). 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 16 Dec 2014.
