Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a study on genetic pathology, obtaining of pure cancer tissues is mandatory. Although the endoscopy with biopsy has been a gold standard for diagnosing gastric cancer, percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples is usually 30% or less. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to conduct a study on genetic pathology, obtaining of pure cancer tissues is mandatory. Although the endoscopy with biopsy has been a gold standard for diagnosing gastric cancer, percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples is usually 30% or less. Recently, confocal laser endomicroscopy has been introduced for real-time histopathologic diagnosis in various cancers. The investigators aim to evaluate that biopsy using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy will increase the percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopyProcedure or surgery

    In this arm1, an investigator observes a cancerous lesion using white light endoscopy. In addition, contrast dye for confocal laser endomicorscopy (fluorescein sodium 0.1mL/kg) is administered. Then, the cancerous lesion is observed using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy. The biopsy would be done 5 times at the most suspcious parts of the cancerous lesion.

  • White light endoscopyProcedure or surgery

    In this arm2, an invesigator observes a cancerous lesion using white light endoscopy. The biopsy would be done 5 times at the most suspicious parts of the cancerous lesion.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples

    The percentages of cancer cells in biopsy samples according to the method of endoscopic method, probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy versus white light endosocpy

    Measured: After 3 days from the end of the endoscopic submucosal dissection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy and White light endoscopy in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 21 Aug 2015. 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 South Korea. 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 percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples (time frame: After 3 days from the end of the endoscopic submucosal dissection). 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 21 Aug 2015.
