About this study

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of spraying Lugol's solution from cervical esophagus to esophagogastric junction (downward) and from esophagogastric junction to cervical esophagus (upward)during chromoendoscopy.

Read the detailed description

Chromoendoscopy using Lugol's solution is effective for the detection of early esophageal squamous neoplasia. However, there is no study to investigate the sequence of Lugol's staining during endoscopic procedure.

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of spraying Lugol's solution from cervical esophagus to esophagogastric junction (downward) and from esophagogastric junction to cervical esophagus (upward)during chromoendoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Image Quality

    Image quality is blindly quantified by a 4-point scale from the endoscopists. A higher score representing higher image quality.

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse events

    Adverse events of the two groups.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Dose

    Usage of Lugol's solution in each group.

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. Effectiveness

    Detection rate of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma of the two groups.

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Tolerance

    The 4-point scale was used to assess the tolerance of endoscopist to the esophageal spasm caused by Lugol's solution which prevent endoscopy from passing. 1-4 means the resistance as intolerable, tolerable, mild, or non-existing.

    Measured: intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing staining from cervical esophagus to esophagogastric junction and staining from esophagogastric junction to cervical esophagus in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Shandong University.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 13 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Xiuli Zuo, MD,PhD (15588818685, zuoxiuli@sdu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Image Quality (time frame: intraoperative). 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 13 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
