Trial summary

The specific aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of marking target pathologic locations identified on Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) datasets using superficial cautery marks of the esophagus that are visible by endoscopy for subsequent guidance of biopsy.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Evaluate OFDI Surveillance and Image Guided Biopsy of the Esophagus

The specific aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of marking target pathologic locations identified on Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) datasets using superficial cautery marks of the esophagus that are visible by endoscopy for subsequent guidance of biopsy.

Read the detailed description

Twenty four consenting patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) surveillance following a confirmed diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus will be recruited at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) . Along with Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) imaging and cautery marking for targeted biopsy, the patients will undergo a standard of care clinical Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure including endoscopic random biopsy. This study requires the use of a balloon catheter which is a commonly used technique and is accepted in clinical practice for dilation of esophageal and colonic strictures and for photodynamic therapy.

Once in position, the OFDI tissue marking laser will be activated by the physician. The physician will control the marking and make two marks of a duration of 2 seconds each. The 2 seconds time period will limit the tissue effects to only the superficial layers of the esophageal mucosa.

It is expected that the total experimental time including insertion and inflation of the OFDI balloon catheter, OFDI imaging, tissue marking, and removal of the OFDI balloon will add approximately 15 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 Targeted Locations Identified Through OFDI Imaging Correlates With the Biopsies.

    Determination of the feasibility to mark targeted pathologic locations identified through OFDI imaging using superficial cautery marks.Verification by endoscopy and utilization of the marks for biopsy guidance.Images will be analyzed and compared to biopsies of the correlated marked tissue.

    Measured: day 1, during diagnostic procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MGH OFDI marking 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2019. 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 25 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 Targeted Locations Identified Through OFDI Imaging Correlates With the Biopsies. (time frame: day 1, during diagnostic procedure). 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 NCT01439633, 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 10 Apr 2019.
