  • The subject must be willing and able to comply with all study procedures.

Who cannot join

  • The subject has bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia, in whom biopsies are contraindicated.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single Centre Study Evaluating The Diagnostic Performance of Spectra IMDx System for The Detection of Gastric Cancer and Precancerous Lesions In Vivo

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a Raman spectroscopy analysis device - Spectra IMDx for the detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in vivo.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single centre study to assess the diagnostic performance of Spectra IMDx system in detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in subjects with suspected gastric intraepithelial neoplasia who are undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.

The Spectra IMDx system comprises a laser system, a spectrometer, a computer with an analysis algorithm installed, and other ancillary parts. The Spectra IMDx system also comprises a Raman probe that can be connected with the main system. The Raman probe is an assembly of optical fibres and optical components arranged for maximal transmission of light energy. When in use, the laser system will emit a 785nm near infra-red laser that will be transmitted through the Raman probe to the distal end. When the laser is interrogated upon a tissue surface, the light energy is absorbed and reflected. The reflected energy is then collected from the distal end of the Raman probe, transmitted back to the main system, and passed through the spectrometer. The collected signal is then processed to obtain the clean Raman signal, which is then parsed through the analysis algorithm to evaluate its risk for cancer (high/low). Feedback will then be generated on the GUI in real time.

What participants receive

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

  • Spectra IMDx systemDevice

    The Spectra IMDx system is intended to be used in conjunction with conventional white light endoscopy in upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure to identify patients with high risk of developing and/or having gastric cancer and it is intended for use on patients above and equal to the age of 18.

Study groups in NCT04835246
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Spectra IMDxExperimentalThe physician will be asked to give a diagnosis of the lesion under White light endoscopy (WLE) firstly and the endoscopic diagnosis result will be recorded on case report form. Then the physician will introduce the probe of Spectra IMDx system to contact and assess the lesion. The Spectra IMDx system will detect the scattering light signal from the lesion and assess the risk of the lesion being high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or gastric cancer, and display the result on the Spectra IMDx screen. The Spectra IMDx assessment will be recorded on case report form. Both the patient and doctor will be blinded from the results from Spectra IMDx system. After Spectra IMDx system examination, the physician takes biopsy sample(s) in suspected lesion for further histopathological diagnosis.
Receives: Device: Spectra IMDx system

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of Spectra IMDx system

    To assess the sensitivity of Spectra IMDx system for the detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in vivo in the presence of using histological diagnosis as the gold standard.

    Diagnostic measurements will be assessed in this trial. Using the histopathological diagnosis as the gold standard, true positives (TPs), true negatives (TNs), false positives (FPs) and false negatives (FNs) can be obtained for both Spectra IMDx (IMDx) system.

    Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN).

    Measured: During the procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Specificity of Spectra IMDx system

    To assess the specificity and accuracy of Spectra IMDx system for the detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in vivo in the presence of using histological diagnosis as the gold standard.

    Specificity = TN/(TN + FP).

    Measured: During the procedure

  2. Accuracy of Spectra IMDx system

    To assess the accuracy of Spectra IMDx system for the detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in vivo in the presence of using histological diagnosis as the gold standard.

    Accuracy = (TP + TN)/(TP + TN + FP + FN).

    Measured: During the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spectra IMDx system in people with Gastric Cancer and Gastric Precancerous Lesion, run by Endofotonics Pte Ltd at 1 site 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 4 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 15 Apr 2021. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ying Wei, MD, PhD (+65 69577585, contact@endofotonics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of Spectra IMDx system (time frame: During the procedure). 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 15 Apr 2021.
