Trial summary

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer is a widely accepted treatment option of expanded indication worldwide. ESD is relatively difficult compared with endoscopic mucosal resection, thus, proper training is essential for the safe performance of the procedure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Learning Curve Analysis for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Gastric Neoplasm

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer is a widely accepted treatment option of expanded indication worldwide.

ESD is relatively difficult compared with endoscopic mucosal resection, thus, proper training is essential for the safe performance of the procedure. Thus, it is necessary to receive proper training in the procedure for safe performance of ESD. Previous studies reported that there was a learning curve in ESD training and preceptees needed to perform at least 30-40 procedures in order to master this technique. However, there is few study about the association between the clinical characteristics and competence level for gastric ESD.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ESD and to describe the learning curve for ESD of the gastric neoplasm, based on the analysis of a single endoscopist's experience.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic submucosal dissectionProcedure or surgery

    ESD was performed under conscious sedation. For sedation, midazolam and/or propofol were administered intravenously, with cardiorespiratory monitoring. Initially, indigo carmine dye was sprayed onto the tumor to clarify the margin. Then, markings were made 10 mm outside the tumor margin using argon plasma coagulation. After marking, a mixture of sodium hyaluronate with indigo carmine and epinephrine was injected into the submucosa outside the marking dots. Circumferential mucosal incision and submucosal dissection were performed using a Dual and/or IT knife. During the procedure, immediate bleeding was treated by Coagrasper. After ESD, chest and abdominal plain radiography were performed routinely for detection of gastric perforation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Resection speed

    Defined as resected lesion size divided by ESD procedure time

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complication rate

    ESD-related bleeding, gastric perforation, patient's death

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection and Gastric Neoplasm, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 30 Jun 2022. 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?

Resection speed (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 30 Jun 2022.
