About this study

Specific Aim 1: To determine patient compliance with a GIST surveillance program Hypothesis: Patient compliance with a GIST surveillance program will be low.

Specific Aim 2: To determine if EUS features of GIST, particularly maximum size, change significantly during a surveillance program.

Hypothesis: EUS features of GIST, particularly maximum size, will not change significantly during a surveillance program.

Specific Aim 3: To determine if EGD measures of GIST size correlate well with EUS measures of GIST size.

Hypothesis: EGD measures of GIST size will correlate well with EUS measured of GIST size.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the natural history of small (< 30 mm) SELs discovered evaluated by EUS.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine the degree of patient compliance with surveillance recommendations.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Describe the diagnostic yield of EUS±FNA in evaluating SELs.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Compare SEL size estimation based on EUS, EGD and computer tomography (CT).

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Stromal Cell Tumors and Foregut Subepithelial Lesions, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 26 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 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?

Determine the natural history of small (< 30 mm) SELs discovered evaluated by EUS. (time frame: 3 years). 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 26 May 2014.
