About this study

In Korea, where the prevalence of gastric tumors is high, the use of ESD as a treatment for gastric cancer will continue to increase. Considering that there are no special measures to prevent side effects (bleeding, perforation, etc.) of this procedure, it is possible to reduce the large medical costs through the discovery of substances that can promote gastric mucosal healing. Mechanism of PRP-based materials in the regeneration of gastric mucosal damage can be used to understand the pathophysiology of ulcers. In the future, it can be suggested as a new treatment for gastrointestinal tract damage such as intractable ulcer, perforation, mucosal fistula, gastrointestinal bleeding caused by esophagus, small intestine and large intestine as well as ulcer treatment by endoscopic procedure.

Background:In Korea, where the prevalence of gastric tumors is high, the use of ESD as a treatment for gastric cancer will continue to increase. Considering that there are no special measures to prevent side effects (bleeding, perforation, etc.) of this procedure, it is possible to reduce the large medical costs through the discovery of substances that can promote gastric mucosal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical endoscopic resection models.

Aim: Evaluate the efficacy of PRP on participants submitted to ESD.

Material and Methods: The investigators have evaluated a prospective clinical study. The investigators have included 10 participants submitted to ESD. Patients were informed and accepted to participate with a written consent. Prior to endoscopy PRP was obtained from autologous blood with a commercial kit. Resection was performed with standard technique. Immediately after the procedure, autologous PRP is applied to the artificial gastric ulcer using endoscopic spray. Participants were followed-up after the procedure.

Being tested
Platelet rich plasma, Normal saline

What participants receive

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

  • Platelet rich plasmaDrug

    Also called PRP

    The experimental group was treated with PRP for artificial gastric ulcer after ESD.

  • Normal salineDrug

    The control group was treated with normal saline for artificial gastric ulcer after ESD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Platelet rich plasma and Normal saline in people with Platelet-rich Plasma and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection, run by Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 7 Nov 2017. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Recovery of artificial gastric ulcer (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 7 Nov 2017.
