About this study

Official title: A Novel Approach to the Surveillance of Pre-Malignant Gastric Lesions

This will be a pilot study investigating the feasibility of using pressurized irrigation of the stomach mucosa to obtain gastric aspirate cell samples for analysis and identification of premalignant lesions of the stomach.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is an important public health concern, accounting for 26,240 new cases in the United States (US) annually. Outcomes are poor, with 5-year survival of 31%, but improve when lesions are detected at early stages amenable to curative therapy. Research has shown that lesions such as atrophic gastritis and gastric intestinal metaplasia are precursors to more advanced lesions such as dysplasia and adenocarcinoma, thus providing a potential target for early intervention. Gastric cancer screening programs have decreased mortality in high-prevalence countries like Japan. However, providers in low-prevalence settings are less experienced at detecting precursor lesions endoscopically on visual inspection. This pilot study will investigate a novel approach to screening for precursor lesions and early detection of gastric cancer by utilizing pressurized irrigation of the gastric mucosa. The study will target patients with a known history of gastric precursor lesions (atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, history of dysplasia) who are presenting for routine surveillance endoscopy. Following routine endoscopic evaluation, the investigators will utilize the ERBEJET 2 device (ERBE USA Inc), which is commercially available for the treatment of mucosal lesions, to sample cells from the mucosal surface of the stomach. The aspirate will be collected for cytologic/pathologic assessment. The goal is that this technique will simplify testing for precursor lesions of gastric cancer, making screening more effective in regions of lower prevalence where providers are less experienced with visual identification of such lesions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of pathologic diagnosis from gastric aspirate compared with diagnosis from standard endoscopic inspection and biopsies.

    Investigators will compare how the diagnosis determined from pathologic/cytologic analysis gastric aspirate samples will compare with diagnosis obtained from standard endoscopic inspection and biopsies. The diagnoses of interest will be normal mucosa, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, or malignancy. This will be reported as the percentage of concordant diagnoses.

    Measured: Intra-procedural

Model description
This is a pilot feasibility study. High-risk individuals with known history of gastric precursor lesions (atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia) who are presenting for routine surveillance endoscopy will undergo mucosal irrigation and collection of gastric aspirate for analysis, in addition to standard of care (visual inspection on endoscopy).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Mucosal Irrigation in people with Intestinal Metaplasia of Gastric Mucosa and Gastric Dysplasia, run by New York Presbyterian Hospital.

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 2 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 31 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Monika Laszkowska, MD (9179747218, ml3228@cumc.columbia.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of pathologic diagnosis from gastric aspirate compared with diagnosis from standard endoscopic inspection and biopsies. (time frame: Intra-procedural). 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 NCT04251403, which also lists 4 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.

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 31 Jan 2020.
