About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety and Dose Response Using the C2 CryoBalloon™ Swipe Ablation System for the Treatment of Barrett's Esophagus

The primary objective is to determine the safety and efficacy of the C2 CryoBalloon™ Swipe Ablation System ("CryoBalloon Swipe") used at increasing doses.

Read the detailed description

The procedure will be performed on an outpatient basis, and the CryoBalloon Swipe will be used for all ablations following the instructions for use provided with the product.

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be assigned to one of the treatment groups and doses, depending on the order of their enrollment:

In phase I, the first 6 patients will be treated with Dose 1 (lowest).

All patients will have to undergo 8 week (±1 week) follow-up EGD to evaluate efficacy of the dose before the study continues.

If the follow-up endoscopies show that Dose 1 eradicates ≥80% of the treated BE (by median percentage) and no SAE's are reported, this dose is defined as the therapeutic dose and enrollment will proceed to phase II.

If Dose 1 eradicates <80% of the treated BE, enrollment in Phase I will continue at the next highest dose. Treatment doses will be escalated in this manner until the earlier of a dose-related Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or determination of the therapeutic dose based on endoscopic exam.

When the therapeutic dose is determined, the study will proceed to Phase II to generate additional safety and efficacy data.

Phase II

Phase II will confirm the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic dose found in Phase I.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Dose-related SAEs include pain in the treatment area greater than 6 (on VAS) on 24 hours and seven (7) days post-treatment; symptomatic stricture requiring an additional EGD with endoscopic dilation before the first follow-up EGD; symptomatic stricture at follow-up EGD; or any stricture (symptomatic or asymptomatic) preventing passage of the diagnostic endoscope at follow-up EGD. Any other serious adverse events within 30 days after treatment will also be evaluated by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for relationship to the dose and severity.

When a Dose-related serious adverse event occurs, the Holding Rule will be invoked and enrollment at that dose will be held until the DSMB has evaluated the event.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-related SAEs

    Safety will be evaluated by the incidence of Dose-related SAEs. Dose-related SAEs include pain in the treatment area, or any stricture (symptomatic or asymptomatic) preventing passage of the diagnostic endoscope at follow-up EGD.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Efficacy: Percent Eradication by therapeutic dose

    Eradication percentage of BE confirmed by histological evidence of eradication of BE, after treatment with the therapeutic dose.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of AEs

    Incidence of all serious and non-serious adverse events up to 30 days post-treatment.

    Measured: up to 30 days post-treatment

  2. Post-procedure pain

    Post-procedure pain in the area of the cryoablation treatment (scored on a 0 to 10 point VAS)

    Measured: 24 hours and 7 days post-procedure

  3. Efficacy: Percent Regression

    Regression percentage at the first follow-up endoscopy, after 1 treatment with the therapeutic dose.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Efficacy: Treatment

    Efficacy of treatment with CryoBalloon Swipe ablation system, defined as the proportion of patients with ≥80% regression of BE after 1 treatment.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing C2 CRYOBALLOON SWIPE ABLATION SYSTEM in people with Barrett Esophagus, run by Pentax Medical at 3 sites in Netherlands.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 22 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Dose-related SAEs (time frame: 30 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03097666, 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 22 Apr 2022.
