Who cannot join

  • Patients with malignant strictures

ControlPlacebo comparatorCotton swab or strip of 2x2 cotton gauze soaked with Normal saline
Receives: Other: Control

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of dysphagia ≥ grade 1 after the dilation procedure

    Prevalence of dysphagia grade ≥1 in MMC Vs normal saline treated patients until 6 months after the first follow-up.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of procedures needed to reach dilation goal

    calculated from the first treatment procedure until the last one and will be compared between the experimental and the control arm.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mitomycin C in people with Esophageal Stenosis and Anastomotic Stenosis, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center 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 10 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2022.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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.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?

Rate of dysphagia ≥ grade 1 after the dilation procedure (time frame: 6 months). 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 11 Apr 2022.
