About this study

Official title: The Clinical Efficacy of Endoscopic Postdilation Intralesional Injection of Mitomycin-C in Adults With Refractory Benign Esophageal Stricture

Intralesional Mitomycin-C (MMC) injection has recently been introduced to resolve refractory benign esophageal stricture mostly in children. The investigators aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic postdilation intralesional injection of MMC in adults with refractory benign esophageal stricture.

Read the detailed description

The participnts who have refractory benign esophageal stricture even after five or more sessions of bougination are prospectively enrolled. A submucosal needle injection of 4mL of a MMC preparation (0.5mg/mL) is endoscopically done with a 0.5mL of eight each injection mainly into the tearing esophageal wall, after esophageal bougie dilation is done upto 14mm in diameter. And then, repeated bouginations combined with MMC injection are done with the interval of eight weeks upto 3 times, if dysphagia symptoms recurr with dysphagis score 3 or more. Initial and overall clinical success rates are evaluated with drug and procedure-related complication rates during the follow-up period of at least 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Initial clinical success of mitomycin C injection therapy

    the improvement of dysphagia score more than one point after a single mitomycin C injection therapy during overall follow up period

    Measured: 12 months after mitomycin C injection

  2. Overall clinical success of mitomycin C injection therapy

    The improvement of dysphagia score more than one point after once or even after over twice mitomycin C injection therapy during follow up period

    Measured: 12 months after mitomycin C injection

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Technical success of mitomycin C injection therapy

    The successful performance of endoscopic mitomycin C injection into the submucosal layer at eight points of dilated stricture circumference after endoscopic dilation therapy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. complications

    endoscopic procedure-related adverse events

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic injection of Mitomycin-C on bougie-dilated refractory benign esophageal stricture in people with Esophageal Stricture, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

Initial clinical success of mitomycin C injection therapy (time frame: 12 months after mitomycin C injection). The study lists 2 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 28 Feb 2020.
