About this study

Official title: Phase 1B In-vivo Study of KSP/QRH Heptapeptide Dimer for Detection of Neoplasia in the Esophagus

The overall aim of this feasibility study is to develop new technologies for improved detection of Barrett's neoplasia using the scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) imaging system. This study will combine the use of a fluorescent-labeled peptide dimer that bind specifically to pre-cancerous mucosa in the esophagus for use as a novel imaging agent to guide endoscopic biopsy or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). This Phase 1B study will be used to provide early evidence of efficacy for the topical application of a peptide dimer that binds to molecular targets, including EGFR and HER2, that are specific for esophageal dysplasia. A dimer is needed because cancer in the esophagus is genetically heterogeneous. QRH binds specifically to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), and KSP binds specifically to Human Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (HER2). The study will look at peptide binding in subjects with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Binding of KSP/QRH dimer to EGFR and HER2

    Validation of the dimer to EGFR and HER2 using target-to-background ratio of the suspicious region compared to the background

    Measured: During and immediately after procedure, generally no more than 2 hours

  2. SFE ability to detect dimer by SNR

    SFE (scanning fiber endoscope) imaging system will be used to image the dimer on the area of interest using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

    Measured: During and immediately after procedure, generally no more than 2 hours

  3. SFE ability to detect dimer by fluorescence T/B ratio

    SFE (scanning fiber endoscope) imaging system will be used to image the dimer on the area of interest using fluorescence tumor-to-background (T/B) ratio

    Measured: During and immediately after procedure, generally no more than 2 hours

  4. SFE ability to detect dimer with contrast

    SFE (scanning fiber endoscope) imaging system will be used to image the dimer on the area of interest using contrast

    Measured: During and immediately after procedure, generally no more than 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KSP/QRH dimer in people with Barrett Esophagus, run by University of Michigan 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Study had to be terminated for lack of dimer and inability to produce more at this time.). 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?

Binding of KSP/QRH dimer to EGFR and HER2 (time frame: During and immediately after procedure, generally no more than 2 hours). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03852576, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Nov 2022.
