Trial summary

New endoscopic clipping device called the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) has become available for the closure of perforations, anastomotic leaks, and fistulas. The OTSC system has a stronger closing force than the through-the-scope hemostatic clip. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Use of Novel Over-The-Scope-Clip to Prevent Esophageal Stent Migration- Randomized Controlled Trial- A Pilot Study

New endoscopic clipping device called the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) has become available for the closure of perforations, anastomotic leaks, and fistulas. The OTSC system has a stronger closing force than the through-the-scope hemostatic clip. Therefore, some researchers have reported esophageal SEMS fixation with an OTSC to prevent migration.

Read the detailed description

Participants requiring esophageal SEMS placement for various indications such as stricture (benign, malignant), leaks All participants who require esophageal SEMS placement. Esophago-gastroscopy will be done to assess the feasibility of SEMS placement.

Participants are randomized into two arms- one arm (interventional) use of OTSC stent fix after esophageal SEMS placement or the other arm (non-interventional) esophageal SEMS is placed.

Participants are followed up for 1 year to observe stent migration rate in both the groups.

Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC) Stent Fix

What participants receive

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

  • Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC) Stent FixDevice

    A stent that of at least 4 cm longer than the stricture will be used to allow at least a 2-cm extension above and below the proximal and distal tumor margins. The stent positioned over a guidewire and deployed under fluoroscopy guidance and, in some cases, also under endoscopy guidance. Subsequently, the OTSC system will be loaded onto the scope and part of the upper rim of the stent will be suctioned into the transparent cap before releasing the OTSC, grasping both the SEMS and esophageal wall. We will avoid deploying the OTSC in areas of pulsations to prevent potential grasping of the vasculature structure

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
(Interventional) Patients undergoing Esophageal stenting with over the scope clip (OTSC) stent fixExperimentalMarking clips will be placed with endoscopy at the upper end of the stricture. In mild stricture cases that allowed the passage of the endoscope, marking clips will also placed in the lower end. A stent that of at least 4 cm longer than the stricture will be used to allow at least a 2-cm extension above and below the proximal and distal tumor margins. The stent positioned over a guidewire and deployed under fluoroscopy guidance and, in some cases, also under endoscopy guidance. Subsequently, the OTSC system will be loaded onto the scope and part of the upper rim of the stent will be suctioned into the transparent cap before releasing the OTSC, grasping both the SEMS and esophageal wall. Investigator will avoid deploying the OTSC in areas of pulsations to prevent potential grasping of the vasculature structure. Only a single OTSC will be placed per participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Esophageal SEMS migration rate at 4 weeks follow up.

    Proportion of patients experiencing stent migration at 4 weeks after index procedure.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Procedural time in minutes

    Total time required to complete the intended procedure

    Measured: immediately after procedure

  2. Migration of stent in both groups

    Time to migration after stent placement in respective groups

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Adverse events in both groups apart from stent migration

    All the adverse events will be recorded, excluding SEMS migration, which is already an primary outcome measure separately

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Improvement in dysphagia score

    Improvement in dysphagia score at one week post procedure in both the arms

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC) Stent Fix in people with Migration of Implant, run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2023. 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.

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 Pradev Innovulu, MD (9182645727, pradev32@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Esophageal SEMS migration rate at 4 weeks follow up. (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 12 Jun 2023.
