About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study of Confocal Microendoscopy in the Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Neoplasia - Project 1

The overall objective of this study is to obtain data to evaluate whether high-resolution imaging of the gastrointestinal mucosain vivo can assist clinicians in detecting dysplastic (precancerous) areas. This is an exploratory study of a confocal endoscope designed to evaluate the feasibility of using this FDA-approved device in the endoscopic surveillance of subjects at high-risk for neoplasia in the upper and lower GI tract. The confocal endoscope provides real-time in vivo microscopic images of the mucosa which resemble standard pathology.

Being tested
Fluorescein, Proflavine hemisulfate
Keywords
Barrett's esophagus, confocal microendoscopy
Medical subject headings
Gastroesophageal Reflux, Barrett Esophagus

What participants receive

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

  • FluoresceinDrug

    fluorescent contrast agent, Fluorescein 5ml

  • Proflavine hemisulfateDrug

    Also called Proflavine

    3 ml of 0.01% proflavine (derived from dissolving 10mg proflavine hemisulfate USP in 100ml sterile water)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Fluorescein and Proflavine hemisulfate in people with GERD and Barrett's Esophagus, run by Anandasabapathy, Sharmila, M.D. 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low/no enrollment. No subjects were enrolled over the past year.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

to determine whether tissue is neoplastic or non-neoplastic (time frame: 1 day). 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 12 Jan 2016.
