Trial summary

The aims of this research are to validate and develop of therapeutic strategies for patients with colorectal lesions in real time through pCLE(probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy). Endomicroscopy is a technique for obtaining histology-like images from inside the human body in real-time. Read more about this study

About this study

The aims of this research are to validate and develop of therapeutic strategies for patients with colorectal lesions in real time through pCLE(probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy). Endomicroscopy is a technique for obtaining histology-like images from inside the human body in real-time. Total objections are 311 patients.

Specific research topics are as below.

  1. Diagnosis and classification of colon polyps through pCLE
  2. Evaluation of the depth of invasion of colorectal cancer or lateral growth type tumor through the pCLE
  3. Differential diagnosis of colorectal submucosal tumor through the pCLE
  4. Differential diagnosis of ileocecal ulcers through the pCLE

The study will be conducted to measure sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, amphoteric predict of pCLE diagnosis, and calculate the agreement of prediction compared to the pathological findings of lesions Check diagnostic agreement of technical phrases which are derived, the matching degree between observers, and will develope a new classification method based on this.

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

    After shooting 10% fluorescein sodium in,2.5-5 .0 ml to the object with colorectal disease, the lesion will observed and evaluated with pCLE in real-time and also stored the inspection images.

    Then, determines the treatment plan to determine which is applied currently in clinical, Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, amphoteric predict of pCLE diagnosis, and calculate the agreement of prediction compared to the pathological findings of lesions Based on the inspection image stored, using Delphi approach tests, two or more are discussed, to derive a significant technical phrases.

    Check diagnostic agreement of technical phrases which are derived, the matching degree between observers, and developed a new classification method based on this.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in people with Lower Gastrointestinal Disorders, 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tae Il Kim, MD, PhD (82-2-2228-1965, taeilkim@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of pCLE diagnosis (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 Mar 2019.
