About this study
Official title: High Resolution Optical Imaging of the Esophagus Using the NvisionVLE™ Imaging System
This is a single center, single arm, open label observational trial of patients undergoing EGD. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ability of physicians to position the NvisionVLE catheter to acquire an image of an area of the esophagus to identify and discriminate abnormal areas of tissue from normal.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary endpoint will be the number of patients achieving a VLE (volumetric laser endomicroscopy) image that includes stomach, gastro esophageal junction (GEJ) and esophagus.
Achieving a VLE image is defined as completing a full 6cm scan. This will be presented as a percentage of patients.
Measured: Day of procedure
Secondary outcomes (1)
The evaluation of procedural workflow and physician interface to the NvisionVLE Imaging Console.
Procedural workflow and physician interface to the console will be assessed by a questionnaire that will be completed by the investigational staff involved in the procedure (eg - Were you (physician) able to position the catheter in the desired position?).
Measured: Day of procedure.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Undergoing Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), run by NinePoint Medical at 1 site in United States.

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?
The primary endpoint will be the number of patients achieving a VLE (volumetric laser endomicroscopy) image that includes stomach, gastro esophageal junction (GEJ) and esophagus. (time frame: Day of procedure). 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 17 May 2013.
