About this study

Official title: Staging of Superficial Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) Using Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy (VLE)

This study is being done to see if the NvisionVLE Imaging System can accurately determine the diagnostic performance of staging of T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) is an imaging platform that uses infrared light to generate cross-sectional views of the human esophagus with microscopic resolution. VLE has been used to detect dysplasia associated with Barrett's esophagus (BE) but its use in cancer staging has not been previously explored. The investigators propose that VLE can accurately and comprehensively stage T1 EAC.

VLE scans will be analyzed using an automated computer algorithm to measure degree of signal attenuation over areas demarcated for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The signal attenuation cut-off established will be used to classify cancers as superficial versus deep. EMR specimens will be reviewed histopathologically for grade of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, and presence or absence of lymphovascular invasion. Depth of tumor invasion will be measured and used to classify cancers as superficial versus deep.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects Whose VLE Results Correlates With the Histology Results for T1 EAC Depth of Invasion

    A validated computer algorithm will be used to quantify the degree of signal attenuation in the T1 EAC endoscopic mucosal resection specimen database. Volumetric Laser Endo-microscopy (VLE) signal attenuation measurements will be correlated to depth of invasion as determined by histology.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Percentage of Subjects Whose VLE Results Correlates With the Histology Results for Staging T1 EAC

    To validate the accuracy of VLE in staging T1 EAC compared to a histologic gold-standard.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VLE imaging for staging EAC 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 9 May 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Subjects Whose VLE Results Correlates With the Histology Results for T1 EAC Depth of Invasion (time frame: 1 day). 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?
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 9 May 2023.
