About this study

Official title: Initial Analysis of Wide-area Transepithelial Sampling for the Detection of Gastric Neoplasia

Potential patients will be recruited at participating sites based on routine care with clinical indications for upper endoscopy. Following informed consent, patients will undergo their scheduled endoscopy with standard forceps biopsies along with the transepithelial brush samples. All samples, biopsy and brush samples, will be sent for pathology analysis, per standard clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Potential patients will be recruited at participating sites based on routine care with clinical indications for upper endoscopy. Following informed consent, patients will undergo their scheduled endoscopy with standard forceps biopsies along with the transepithelial brush samples. All samples, biopsy and brush samples, will be sent for histologic analysis, with planned study of the diagnostic yields of each method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site in Honduras.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Diagnostic yield of the WATS approach versus standard gastric biopsy mapping (time frame: 1-3 Years). 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 NCT04114006, which also lists 3 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.
