Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Eligible patientsExperimentalThe dose will be 100 mg YF476 once daily. When 6 patients have completed 12 weeks' treatment with that dose, it may be increased to 150 or 200 mg once daily. Patients will have type II gastric carcinoids and/or ECL cell hyperplasia/dysplasia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Regression of Gastric Carcinoids and/or ECL Cell Hyperplasia Defined by Physical Measurements Taken During Endoscopy

    Regression is defined as a 25% reduction in the size / number of endoscopically evident type II gastric carcinoids. For each participant, three gastric carcinoids were identified and measured at baseline. The same gastric carcinoids were then measured at the Week 12 visit and the percentage difference in size from baseline calculated. The mean percentage change of the three gastric carcinoids per participant is recorded.

    Measured: Week 12 visit

  2. A Reduction of 25% in the Gastric ECL Cell Density.

    A reduction of 25% in the gastric ECL cell density.

    Measured: Week 12 visit

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Improvement in Histological Grade of Gastric Carcinoids/ECL Cell Hyperplasia Defined by Physical Measurements Taken During Endoscopy

    Reduction in the histological grade of the carcinoids/hyperplasia when compared to baseline.

    Measured: Week 12 visit

  2. Level of Chromogranin A (CgA) Biomarkers Measured in Blood Samples

    The level of a key biomarker chromogranin A (CgA) that is circulating in the blood was measured.

    Measured: Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)

  3. Acid Control Study 1, Control of Gastric Acid Secretion Assessed by Changes in Drug-controlled Gastric Acid Analysis, Volume of Gastric Aspirate

    Assessed by changes in drug-controlled gastric acid analysis. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was placed through one nare and into the stomach. Gastric secretions were suctioned and discarded at T = 0 and then aspirated for 1 h in 15 min increments to measure the control acid output. Patients who could not tolerate NGT placement had endoscopic gastric analysis (EGA) performed during upper endoscopy. During EGA, a single 10 - 15 min collection was aspirated under direct visualization. Patients 01 and 02 had acid measured via NGT, whereas Patient 03 had acid measured via EGA. At the Week 2 visit, the baseline acid control was measured. At the Week 6 visit, the acid control was measured after a dose of netazepide. Results are provided for three acid control measures:

    1. Volume of aspirate (mL)
    2. Acid in aspirate (mEq)
    3. Acid output (mEq)

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline) and Week 6 visit

  4. Decrease in ECL Cell-specific Products Assessed by Quantitative PCR

    Assessed by quantitative PCR.

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)

  5. Improvement in Reflux/Dyspepsia Symptoms Using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) Instrument

    Assessed by the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) instrument. Patients assessed a total of 10 symptoms on a scale of 0-5 where: 0 = no symptoms; 1 = symptoms noticeable, but not bothersome; 2 = symptoms noticeable and bothersome, but not every day; 3 = symptoms bothersome everyday; 4 = symptoms affect daily activities; and 5 = symptoms are incapacitating (unable to do daily activities). The total score was summed and reported. The maximum obtainable total score was 50 and minimum obtainable total score was 0, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome and lower scores indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)

  6. Safety and Tolerability

    Assessed by monitoring adverse events reported by patients

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)

  7. Circulating Plasma Concentration of Gastrin

    The level of gastrin biomarkers circulating in the blood was measured.

    Measured: Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)

  8. Acid Control Study 2, Control of Gastric Acid Secretion Assess by Changes in Drug-controlled Gastric Acid Analysis: Acid Content in Gastric Aspirate

    Assessed by changes in drug-controlled gastric acid analysis. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was placed through one nare and into the stomach. Gastric secretions were suctioned and discarded at T = 0 and then aspirated for 1 h in 15 min increments to measure the control acid output. Patients who could not tolerate NGT placement had endoscopic gastric analysis (EGA) performed during upper endoscopy. During EGA, a single 10 - 15 min collection was aspirated under direct visualization. Patients 01 and 02 had acid measured via NGT, whereas Patient 03 had acid measured via EGA. At the Week 2 visit, the baseline acid control was measured. At the Week 6 visit, the acid control was measured after a dose of netazepide. Results are provided for three acid control measures:

    1. Volume of aspirate (mL)
    2. Acid in aspirate (mEq)
    3. Acid output (mEq)

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline) and Week 6 visit

  9. Acid Control Study 3, Control of Gastric Acid Secretion Assess by Changes in Drug-controlled Gastric Acid Analysis: Acid Output

    Assessed by changes in drug-controlled gastric acid analysis. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was placed through one nare and into the stomach. Gastric secretions were suctioned and discarded at T = 0 and then aspirated for 1 h in 15 min increments to measure the control acid output. Patients who could not tolerate NGT placement had endoscopic gastric analysis (EGA) performed during upper endoscopy. During EGA, a single 10 - 15 min collection was aspirated under direct visualization. Patients 01 and 02 had acid measured via NGT, whereas Patient 03 had acid measured via EGA. At the Week 2 visit, the baseline acid control was measured. At the Week 6 visit, the acid control was measured after a dose of netazepide. Results are provided for three acid control measures:

    1. Volume of aspirate (mL)
    2. Acid in aspirate (mEq)
    3. Acid output (mEq)

    Measured: Week 2 visit (baseline) and Week 6 visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing YF476 in people with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, run by Trio Medicines Ltd..

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 8 inclusion and 19 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 29 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Regression of Gastric Carcinoids and/or ECL Cell Hyperplasia Defined by Physical Measurements Taken During Endoscopy (time frame: Week 12 visit). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jan 2021.
