About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Multispectral Imaging for the Early Detection of Gastric Neoplasia

The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine whether multispectral imaging increases the diagnostic accuracy of the current standard of high-definition white-light endoscopy for the detection of gastric neoplasia (high grade dysplasia or cancer). As part of an NCI-funded RO1, the investigators goal is to develop a multispectral endoscopic platform that can be used to survey a large surface area and, potentially, serve as a "red flag" for microendoscopic imaging of small areas. In prior ex vivo evaluations of surgical and endoscopic specimens, the investigators have identified the optical settings and illumination wavelengths that are complementary to white-light imaging and enhance superficial mucosal and vascular changes associated with neoplasia. Based on this initial testing, vital-dye enhanced fluorescence imaging (VFI) and imaging with High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME) have been identified as modalities that may be complementary to white-light imaging. The goal of this pilot study is to preliminarily determine the accuracy of these modalities during the endoscopic surveillance and detection of gastric neoplasia.

Read the detailed description

Consent will be obtained the day of the subject's scheduled endoscopy in a clinical room or at a routine office visit prior to the endoscopy. The study investigator will explain the study including the reasons why subject may be eligible, risks, and benefits. The subject will be given a chance to address any questions or concerns they may have.

If the patient agrees to participate in this study all of the procedures listed below will be performed the day of the scheduled endoscopy exam. The procedures listed are part of the routine standard of care for an endoscopy exam, except for the images that are being taken and the additional 2-6 biopsies taken from any abnormal areas that are seen with the new imaging technique. The use of the imaging technique described in this research study will not change the standard of care procedures.

The endoscopic procedure is outlined below:

  1. White Light Examination: Examination will initially be performed in the standard white-light endoscopic mode as is routinely done. Abnormal gastric mucosa areas and nodularities will be recorded. Any "Suspicious" areas (visible abnormalities, etc.) will be photographed and the location recorded (distance from incisors and endoscopic quadrant, eq. 34 cm; greater curvature, lesser curvature, etc).
  2. Vital-Dye Enhanced Fluorescence Examination: Following this, the stomach will be sprayed with 1-10 ml of 0.01% proflavine using a standard endoscopic spray-catheter. Using the fluorescent imaging, the location of any VFI-"Suspicious' areas will be recorded. Additionally, VFI examination of any suspicious areas seen on WLE will be performed. The endoscopist will label the surface-appearance of each WLE abnormal area based on its VFI appearance. Thus, each area will be labeled as: "Not Suspicious," or "Suspicious for Neoplasia."
  3. HRME examination: WLE and VFI suspicious appearing areas will be further imaged with HRME. HRME will be inserted through the biopsy channel of the endoscope, gently placed against the mucosa, and images of suspicious areas will be obtained. The endoscopist will label the surface-appearance of each WLE abnormal area and VFI abnormal area, based on the HRME appearance. Thus, each area will be labeled as: "Not Suspicious," or "Suspicious for Neoplasia."
  4. Biopsy Protocol: Biopsies will be obtained of any area suspicious on any of the imaging modalities (WLE, VFI or HRME). Additionally, two 'control' areas (normal on imaging) will also be biopsied. Lastly, routine, biopsies will be performed per clinical care to determine areas of intestinal metaplasia and H pylori infection as per routine standard of care.
  5. Pathologic Interpretation: All samples will be evaluated by a single expert gastrointestinal pathologist who will be blinded to the endoscopic findings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Proflavine Hemisulphate salt, White-light examination and Imaging with High Resolution Microendoscope in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Susana Gonzalez 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 2 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI left institution). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Gastric neoplasia presence (time frame: Day 1). 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 2 May 2017.
