About this study

The aim of this study is to compare the visualization rates of the ampulla of Vater using forward- viewing endoscopes with or without cap attached to the distal end in the same patient.

Read the detailed description

The complete visualization of the ampulla of Vater for the detection of ampullary neoplastic lesions is technically challenging with a forward-viewing endoscope. There are limited data in the relevant literature regarding the effectiveness of the Cap assisted forward viewing endoscope for accurate evaluation of the ampulla de Vater. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the visualization rates of the ampulla of Vater using forward-viewing endoscopes with or without cap attached to the distal end in the same patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visualization rates of the ampulla of Vater

    Measured: Up to 30 minutes during gastrointestinal endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rates of complications for both groups.

    Measured: Up to 3 hours after upper endoscopy

  2. Additional time required for Cap-assisted endoscopy

    Measured: Up to 30 minutes during upper endoscopy

  3. Need for additional sedation required for the Cap-assisted endoscopy.

    Measured: Up to 30 minutes during upper endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cap in people with Ampulla of Vater Intestinal-Type Adenoma, run by Barretos Cancer Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 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 18 Aug 2016. 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 Brazil. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Denise P Guimarães, MD, PhD (+551733216600, guimaraes.dp@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visualization rates of the ampulla of Vater (time frame: Up to 30 minutes during gastrointestinal endoscopy). 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 NCT02867826, 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 18 Aug 2016.
