About this study

This is a study to determine how the viscosity (thickness) of an FDA approved gel affects the ease in which endoscopic mucosal resections (EMR) can be performed.

Read the detailed description

This is a study to determine how the viscosity (thickness) of an FDA approved gel made by Cook medical affects the ease in which endoscopic mucosal resections (EMR) - a type of endoscopic surgery performed for localised cancer - can be performed when the gel is injected submucosally. The lifting characteristics of the gel will be assessed by height and diameter and ease with which the subsequent EMR dissection can be performed. These characteristics would be assessed on excised human stomachs and colon, which are harvested during routine sleeve gastrectomy surgeries or colectomies, in an ex-vivo manner.

Study groups in NCT02519140
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cook medical EMR GelExperimentalProspective study involving excised human stomachs and colon harvested from sleeve gastrectomies and colectomies performed for benign or malignant disease. Different Cook submucosal injections of varying viscosities will be injected into different areas of the excised stomachs or colons. Data collected will involve lifting characteristics and dissection adequacy of the varying viscosities of gel.
Receives: Drug: Cook Medical EMR Gel

What is being measured

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

  1. Lift Efficacy

    Lifting characteristics which would be measured by height of the mucosa after submucosal gel injection.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dissection Adequacy

    Dissection adequacy which would be measured by time which the gel stays within the tissues. Anything less than one hour will be considered failure.

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cook Medical EMR Gel in people with Gastric Cancer and Colon Cancer, run by Antonios Likourezos 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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2023. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Lift Efficacy (time frame: 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02519140, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Dec 2023.
