About this study

Official title: Performance of Endoscopic and Histological Criteria of Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia in Predicting Risk of Gastric Cancer - a Multicenter Case Control Study

This is a multi-center prospective case control study aiming to compare different methods of risk stratification models in predicting the risk of gastric cancer development.

Read the detailed description

The case control study would compare which type of assessment (Endoscopic / histological) is more accurate in predicting the risk of gastric cancer development.

The risk factor assessment would be based on the following criteria.

Endoscopic assessment:

  1. Atrophic gastritis, based on Kimura Takemoto Classification
  2. Kyoto classification of gastritis
  3. Intestinal metaplasia, based on Endoscopic Mapping and Grading of Intestinal Metaplasia (EGGIM) Histological assessment (Based on random biopsies)
  4. Operative Links on Gastritis Assessment 2. Operative Links on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia
Being tested
Gastroscopy and gastric biopsies
Keywords
Gastric cancer, Gastroscopy, Atrophic gastritis, Intestinal metaplasia
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms, Gastritis, Atrophic

What participants receive

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

  • Gastroscopy and gastric biopsiesDiagnostic test

    Gastroscopy would be performed to assess the degree of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. In addition, four random biopsies would be taken in the stomach for histological assessment of AG and IM

What is being measured

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

  1. Endoscopic grading of atrophic gastritis (Kimura Takemoto Classification)

    Endoscopic description of severity of gastric atrophy

    Measured: Cross sectional study, day 0

  2. Endoscopic grading of intestinal metaplasia (EGGIM)

    Endoscopic mapping of degree of intestinal metaplasia

    Measured: Cross sectional study, day 0

  3. Kyoto classification of gastritis

    Descriptive findings of gastritis

    Measured: Cross sectional study, day 0

  4. Operative links on gastritis assessment (OLGA)

    Biopsy based risk stratification panel based on severity of atrophic gastritis

    Measured: Cross sectional study, day 0

  5. Operative links on gastric intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM)

    Biopsy based risk stratification panel based on severity of intestinal metaplasia

    Measured: Cross sectional study, day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Atrophic Gastritis, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Thailand. 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 Hon Chi Yip, FRCSEd(Gen) (+852 35052627, hcyip@surgery.cuhk.edu.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Endoscopic grading of atrophic gastritis (Kimura Takemoto Classification) (time frame: Cross sectional study, day 0). The study lists 5 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 7 Sep 2023.
