Trial summary

When performing screening endoscopy, small focal gastric lesions are frequently encountered. Novel techniques in endoscopy, such as magnifying endoscopy (ME) with narrow-band imaging (NBI) and chromoendoscopy with acetic acid-indigocarmine mixture (AIM), are developing to enhance images of gastrointestinal tumor.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study on the Accuracy of Enhanced Magnifying Endoscopy for Differential Diagnosis of Small Focal Gastric Lesions Identified With White-light Endoscopy

When performing screening endoscopy, small focal gastric lesions are frequently encountered. Novel techniques in endoscopy, such as magnifying endoscopy (ME) with narrow-band imaging (NBI) and chromoendoscopy with acetic acid-indigocarmine mixture (AIM), are developing to enhance images of gastrointestinal tumor. Furthermore, observation of the microstructures of gastric mucosa by ME, including microvascular pattern and microsurface pattern, has been proposed in the recognition of early gastric cancer (EGC).

This study is based on the hypothesis as follow:

  1. The microvascular structure could be clearly observed with magnifying endoscopy enhanced by narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI).
  2. The microsurface architecture could be clearly observed with magnifying endoscopy enhanced by acetic acid-indigocarmine mixture (ME-AIM).
  3. Enhanced ME (combining ME-NBI and ME-AIM), as compared to white-light endoscopy (WLE), has higher sensitivity and specificity for the differential diagnosing small focal gastric lesions.
Read the detailed description

Patients who received surveillance endoscopy for EGC using a zoom endoscope were eligible for inclusion. WLE without magnification was performed first in eligible patients. Based on an assessment of the shape (such as flat, depressed or elevated) and color (pale or reddened), small focal gastric lesions were identified and included for evaluation by experienced endoscopists. When such a lesion was detected during non-magnifying observation with WLE, the mode was then changed to ME-NBI for observation of microvascular pattern and ME-AIM for observation of microsurface pattern subsequently. All endoscopic images of the whole procedure were recorded in digital filing system for later evaluation. To avoid possible selection bias and to maintain the quality of the study, all images of each endoscopic modality (including WLE, ME-NBI, ME-AIM), which were arranged randomly on one slide and displayed independently of the images of other endoscopic modality, were evaluated by 4 skilled endoscopists, who were not access to the clinical and pathological data. The general consensus was established for an assessment of each lesion. Two forceps biopsy specimens were taken from each lesion and pathological diagnosis were used as the criterion standard for cancer diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of enhanced ME (combining ME-NBI and ME-AIM)

    Enhanced ME diagnosis was made subsequent to endoscopy procedure and reviewed in a week when confirmed histopathologic diagnosis was out for comparison. Percentage of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of enhanced ME diagnosis compared with histopathology diagnosis were measured.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of WLE

    WLE diagnosis was made subsequent to endoscopy procedure and reviewed in a week when confirmed histopathologic diagnosis was out for comparison. Percentage of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of WLE diagnosis compared with histopathology diagnosis were measured.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. The relationships between the microvascular patterns and the histopathological findings

    The microvascular pattern of each lesion was evaluated subsequent to endoscopy procedure and reviewed in a week when confirmed histopathologic diagnosis was out for comparison. Percentage of distribution of different microvascular patterns compared with histopathology diagnosis was measured.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. The relationships between the microsurface patterns and the histopathological findings

    The microsurface pattern of each lesion was evaluated subsequent to endoscopy procedure and reviewed in a week when confirmed histopathologic diagnosis was out for comparison. Percentage of distribution of different microsurface patterns compared with histopathology diagnosis was measured.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasms, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 12 Jun 2012. 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?

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?

Diagnostic accuracy of enhanced ME (combining ME-NBI and ME-AIM) (time frame: 1 week). 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 Jun 2012.
