About this study

Official title: Multicenter Prospective Study of Endoscopic Full-thickness Resection (EFTR) in Colon Using Over-the-scope-clip (OTSC)

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) in the colon using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC) as a closure mechanism is a recent technique that allows the endoscopic resection of colonic lesions that are poor candidates for conventional endoscopic resection techniques. The aim is to study the safety and efficacy of EFTR in colon.

Read the detailed description

Early detection and endoscopic resection of early neoplastic lesions in colon can prevent the development of colon cancer.

The classic endoscopic mucosal resection technique and the submucosal dissection technique require the creation of a submucosal "cushion" by injecting crystalloid substances or colloids. However, these advanced techniques have technical limitations when facing a lesion that presents poor lifting or non-lifting at all as it might be observed in scarring or fibrotic lesions

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) in the colon using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC) is a recent technique that does not require the injection of a submucosal solution and allows a resection of colonic lesions of up to approximately 30 mm, en bloc, allowing a correct histological study of the sample, to confirm its complete resection with adequate deep margins, evaluation of the level of invasion and lymphovascular involvement.

EFTR with OTSC allows a colonic wall full-thickness resection, by the deployment of an over-the-scope clip before the resection of the lesion to prevent perforation. The steps of the technique are: face the lesion and marking the borders, insertion of the scope with the kit (consisting of a cap with an integrated snare and OTSC), grasping and pulling the lesion into the cap, deploy the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) and closing the integrated snare and resect.

This is a multicenter observational study on the efficacy and safety of EFTR with OTSC in colon.

The clinical, endoscopic and histological data are collected prospectively in all cases of EFTR performed in the participant centers.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hugo I. Uchima Koecklin, MD (+34 934978866, hugoikuo@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Technical Success (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT03803891, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 15 Jan 2019.
