About this study

Official title: The Use of Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy to Predict Recurrence of Barrett's Esophagus After Complete Eradication of Intestinal Metaplasia

Researchers are trying to see if the Nvision® Imaging System (VLE) can accurately determine the risk of recurrent Barrett's esophagus in patients with Barrett's esophagus which have been clear of disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Barrett's Esophagus (BE) undergoing endoscopic therapy through our Barrett's Esophagus Unit will be approached for study enrollment. Patients with no endoscopic evidence of BE will be considered for the study. Surveillance biopsies will be obtained per standard clinical protocol and reviewed to confirm absence of intestinal metaplasia. Patients who have achieved complete eradication of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) will be enrolled in the study and will undergo the Nvision® Imaging System (VLE). Patients enrolled in the study will undergo clinical follow-up consisting of surveillance endoscopy every 3 months for 1 year. Surveillance endoscopy intervals may be prolonged to every 6 months in the second year, and annually thereafter. At each follow-up visit, endoscopic data will be collected to determine if patients remain in CRIM or show evidence of recurrent disease. Patients will be followed for 1 year (endpoint 1) and 3 years (endpoint 2).

What participants receive

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

  • The Nvision VLE Imaging SystemDevice

    Volumetric laser Endomicroscopy (VLE) will be performed by using the Nvision VLE Imaging System (Nine Point Medical, MA) consists of an imaging console, monitor and optical probe. The optical probe is centered by a balloon (diameter: 14 mm, 17 mm, 20 mm; length: 6 cm) that is deployed through a diagnostic gastroscope's instrument channel. Imaging is performed by automatic helical pullback of the probe from the distal to the proximal end of the balloon over 90 seconds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine association between number of glandular structures measured with volumetric laser endomicroscopy and recurrence of Barrett's esophagus following endoscopic therapy

    Measure the number of glandular structures observed with volumetric laser endomicroscopy in patients who remain free of Barrett's esophagus and in those with recurrent disease. Report the mean and standard-deviation of this metric and determine a statistical significant difference using the Student's t-test.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Determine association between distribution of glandular structures measured with volumetric laser endomicroscopy and recurrence of Barrett's esophagus following endoscopic therapy

    Measure the distribution (gastric cardia versus esophagus) of glandular structures observed with volumetric laser endomicroscopy in patients who remain free of Barrett's esophagus and in those with recurrent disease. Report the mean and standard-deviation of this metric and determine a statistical significant difference using the Student's t-test.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Determine association between thickness of neosquamous epithelium measured with volumetric laser endomicroscopy and recurrence of Barrett's esophagus following endoscopic therapy

    Measure the thickness of neosquamous epithelium (mm) with volumetric laser endomicroscopy in patients who remain free of Barrett's esophagus and in those with recurrent disease. Report the mean and standard-deviation of this metric and determine a statistical significant difference using the Student's t-test.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Develop a volumetric laser endomicrosopy feature scoring index to stratify the risk of disease recurrence in patients with Barrett's esophagus following treatment

    The proposed model will stratify patients into two categories (1) low risk of recurrence and (2) high risk of recurrence. Low risk of disease recurrence is defined by a rate of <5% per patient-year. High risk of disease recurrence is defined by a rate of >10% per patient year.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The Nvision VLE Imaging System in people with Barrett Esophagus, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Determine association between number of glandular structures measured with volumetric laser endomicroscopy and recurrence of Barrett's esophagus following endoscopic therapy (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 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 31 Mar 2022.
