About this study

Official title: New Classification of Gastric Pit Patterns and Vessel Architecture Using Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy

The aim of the present study was to propose a new pCLE classification of gastric pit patterns and vessel architecture, and to assess the accuracy and interobserver agreement of this new pCLE classification system in the stomach.

Read the detailed description

Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE; Cellvizio, Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France) is a newly developed endoscopic device which allows the application of laser microscopy with any conventional endoscope and mosaic imaging. Previous studies have demonstrated its application in various GI diseases, including Barrett's esophagus, colonic adenoma, ulcerative colitis, and etc. However, limited data are provided on exploring the application of pCLE in the stomach. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to propose a new pCLE classification of gastric pit patterns and vessel architecture, and to assess the accuracy and interobserver agreement of this new pCLE classification system in the stomach.

pCLE examinationpatients will be prospectively recruited and examined first with high-definition endoscopy (EG-2990i, Pentax, Japan) followed by probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy
Receives: Device: probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic accuracy of the new classification system

    Patients will be prospectively recruited to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the new classification of gastric pit patterns and vessel architecture using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy

    Measured: 3 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Intestinal Metaplasia, run by Shandong University 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 13 May 2014. 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?

The diagnostic accuracy of the new classification system (time frame: 3 month). 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 13 May 2014.
