About this study

Official title: Setting the Shortest Examination Time of Gastroscopy to Improve the Detection Rate of Upper Gastrointestinal Tumors: a Multi-center, Prospective, Controlled Study

This multicenter, prospective, interventional study aims to include 2000 gastroscopic procedures and investigate the relationship between procedure time and lesion detection rate in tertiary endoscopic centers in China. At the first stage, the researchers observe the actual procedure time of gastroscopies without affecting the natural behavior of endoscopists. At the second stage, a minimal time limit will be set for each procedure based on the observational results of the first stage. The primary study outcome is focal lesion detection rate. Secondary outcomes include detection rate of early upper GI cancer, biopsy rate and adverse event rate.

Read the detailed description

China is a country with a heavy burden of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. In 2015, the incidence/mortality of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer in China were 680000/500000 and 220000/200000, respectively. Gastroscopy is the most important means to detect early cancer of gastrointestinal tract. However, due to various factors, the miss rate of clinical significant lesions by gastroscopy is innegligible. Our previous research results showed that the detection rate of early gastric cancer and early esophageal cancer in China was only about 15%. This study aims to include 2000 gastroscopic procedures and investigate the relationship between procedure time and lesion detection rate in tertiary endoscopic centers in China.

At the first stage, the researchers observe the actual procedure time of gastroscopies without affecting the natural behavior of endoscopists. Then, researchers collect the data (including focal lesion detection rate, procedure time, detection rate of early upper GI cancer, biopsy rate and adverse event rate) and analyze the minimal procedure time. At the second stage, a minimal time limit will be set for each procedure. Every stage last two months, and potential correlations between lesion detection rate and procedure time will be investigated through subsequent statistical analysis.

    This study contains 2 stages. At the first stage, no interventions are implemented. The researchers just observe the actual procedure time of gastroscopy. At the second stage, a minimal procedure time is set based on the observational results of the first stage.

What is being measured

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

  1. focal lesion detection rate

    number of gastroscopy procedures that detects focal lesions divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures

    Measured: two months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. detection rate of high risk lesions

    number of gastroscopy procedures that detect upper GI cancers (gastric or esophageal cancer), dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures

    Measured: two months

  2. endoscopic biopsy rate

    number of gastroscopy procedures with biopsy divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures

    Measured: two months

  3. detection rate of neoplastic lesions

    number of gastroscopy procedures that detect upper GI cancers divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures

    Measured: two months

  4. mean (median) examination time for normal EGDs without biopsy

    mean (median) examination time for all normal EGDs without biopsy

    Measured: two months

  5. rate of procedures reaching the minimal time

    number of gastroscopy procedures that reach the minimal time divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures

    Measured: two months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Set the minimum time of gastroscopy in people with Gastroscopy Time and Early Gastric Cancer, run by Changhai Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 8 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 18 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

focal lesion detection rate (time frame: two months). 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 NCT04602299, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Mar 2022.
