About this study

Using the analysis of group velocity for a screening application and then higher order analysis based on the elastic and viscious components of the shear modulus may allow discrimination between extent of tumor invasion through the esophageal wall if appropriately correlated with pathological findings.

Read the detailed description

Use of ultrasound-based vibrometry in this setting would allow for a relatively simple study and translation of clinical practice, as the same devices are already used in this setting, and operators have familiarity with the equipment. Incorporating another additional method to generate contrast for determining malignant tissue from normal based on biomechanical properties with the same probe would have benefit as an additional diagnostic modality.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • General Electric LOGIQ E9 ultrasound systemDevice

    Patients will be brought to the operating room in line with standard clinical practice and after esophageal exposure, but before surgical mobilization of the esophagus, shear wave vibrometry and B-mode imaging will be performed after esophageal distension with a fluid filled balloon intra-operatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing General Electric LOGIQ E9 ultrasound system in people with Esophageal Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 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 4 Oct 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Terminated due to the inability to enroll and carry out study intervention.). 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?

Determining malignant esophageal tissue from normal tissue (time frame: 1 week). 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 4 Oct 2019.
