About this study

Introduction :

The incidence of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (DNETs) is increasing. Endoscopic resection is recommended for the management of small DNETs measuring ≤10 mm. Various endoscopic techniques have been utilized for the resection of DNETs including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), band ligation assisted EMR, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the published studies report a high rate of histologically incomplete resection even with ESD. More recently, device assisted endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) has emerged as a safe and effective resection modality in cases with upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal as well as submucosal lesions. There is limited data on the outcomes of EFTR in cases with DNETs.

In this study, we aim to compare the rate of histologically complete resection (R0) with ESD and EFTR in cases with DNETs.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic submucosal dissectionProcedure or surgery

    Endoscopic resection is recommended for the management of small DNETs measuring ≤10 mm. Various endoscopic techniques have been utilized for the resection of DNETs including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), band ligation assisted EMR, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the published studies report a high rate of histologically incomplete resection even with ESD. More recently, device assisted endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) has emerged as a safe and effective resection modality in cases with upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal as well as submucosal lesions. There is limited data on the outcomes of EFTR in cases with DNETs.

  • EFTRDevice

    Initially, the lesion will be marked circumferentially using the FTRD probe available with the device (Forced Coag, E1, 20W). Subsequently, wire guided balloon dilatation of the pyloric channel will be performed.

    The device will be mounted over a therapeutic channel gastroscope and negotiated across the cricopharynx over the guidewire with or without assistance of dilating balloon available with the device.

    After reaching the target site, the lesion will be pulled withing the FTRD cap with the help of grasping forceps and gentle suctioning.

    The clip will be fired after ensuring the entry of the lesion inside the cap, the premounted snare closed and electrocautery activated to cut the grasped tissue (HighCut 200W, Effect 4).

Device assisted endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR)ExperimentalThe steps of EFTR are as follows. Initially, the lesion will be marked circumferentially using the FTRD probe available with the device (Forced Coag, E1, 20W). Subsequently, wire guided balloon dilatation of the pyloric channel will be performed. The device will be mounted over a therapeutic channel gastroscope and negotiated across the cricopharynx over the guidewire with or without assistance of dilating balloon available with the device.

Receives: Device: EFTR
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)Active comparatorESD will be performed using the standard technique under general anaesthesia. The steps of the procedure are as follows: a) marking of the lesion using closed tip of DualKnife J in soft coagulation mode (Effect 4, 80W), b) submucosal lifting injection using saline mixed with indigocarmine dye, c) circumferential mucosal incision (Dry Cut, Effect 2, 30W), d) submucosal dissection (SwiftCoag, Effect 2, 30W), removal of the lesion using suction or a polypectomy snare, f) closure of the defect using endoclips or loop and endoclips.
Receives: Procedure: Endoscopic submucosal dissection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic submucosal dissection and EFTR in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India at 1 site in 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 Oct 2024. 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 India. 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 Zaheer Dr Nabi, MBBS MD DNB (04023378888, zaheernabi1978@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of R0 resection in both the groups (time frame: 7 days). 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 Oct 2024.
