About this study

Official title: Optical Coherence Tomography Based Screening and Surveillance of Esophagus and Gastroesophageal Junction

The specific aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging for screening and diagnosis of the distal esophagus in patients undergoing a clinical esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure. The accuracy of results obtained using the developed OCT imaging probe will be determined and compared with those obtained through the traditional standard of care endoscopic biopsy .

Read the detailed description

Three hundred consenting patients undergoing routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedures will be recruited for examination at the gastroesophageal junction with our developed OCT imaging system. The patients will undergo a clinical EGD procedure including endoscopic biopsy. The first step in the procedure follows the standard care with the performance of the surveillance endoscopy. The study experimental procedure will then begin. This study requires the use of a balloon . The balloon placement method is in accordance with current standard clinical practice and involves the insertion of a guide wire through the auxiliary channel of the endoscope. The endoscope is then removed, leaving the guide wire in place, and the OCT balloon is inserted the required distance (determined during the endoscopy) over the guide wire to the GE junction. The OCT balloon will then be inflated and will remain in this fixed position throughout the entire procedure. Once the OCT imaging probe is in place, OCT image data will be continuously collected over the length of the balloon(approximately 5 cm).

It is expected that the total examination time including insertion and inflation of the OCT balloon, OCT imaging and removal of the OCT balloon will add no more than 10 minutes to the total length of the EGD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects in Which the Entire Distal Esophagus Can be Visualized Using the Balloon Based Optical Coherence Tomography Screening

    Collected entire distal esophagus OFDI Images analyzed and compared to the images obtained during standard of care surveillance endoscopy.

    Measured: Images will be acquired during the OFDI imaging session which should take an average of 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) in people with Barrett's Esophagus, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 4 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 18 Jan 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects in Which the Entire Distal Esophagus Can be Visualized Using the Balloon Based Optical Coherence Tomography Screening (time frame: Images will be acquired during the OFDI imaging session which should take an average of 5 minutes). 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 18 Jan 2023.
