Trial summary

Outcome after treatment of achalasia is usually assessed by the Eckardt score (ES). The timed barium esophagogram (TBE) is used to objectively assess esophageal clearance after treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Contribution of High-resolution Manometry With Impedancemetry for the Evaluation of Esophageal Clearance in Achalasia

Outcome after treatment of achalasia is usually assessed by the Eckardt score (ES). The timed barium esophagogram (TBE) is used to objectively assess esophageal clearance after treatment. High-resolution manometry with impedancemetry (HRiM) provides information on esophageal clearance of liquids in addition to motility parameters. The aim of this study was to compare esophageal clearance determined by HRiM and TBE in patients with achalasia treated by POEM.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive patients treated with POEM had pre and post-POEM assessment with ES, TBE, and HRiM. Treatment failure was defined by an ES > 3 at 3 months post-POEM. Incomplete esophageal clearance (IEC) was defined by the presence of an esophageal stasis > 2 cm at 5 minutes in HRiM and/or TBE. The Eckardt score is evaluated at one year to estimate the prognostic value of measurements of esophageal clearance after treatment on long-term symptoms. The evaluation of the Eckardt score will be compared to the quality of life score. All of these examinations are carried out as part of routine care.

The supposed superiority of HRiM in the evaluation of esophageal clearance, systematically carried out in the assessment of Achalasia, could lead to no longer using TBE which is a irradiating examination for the patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. esophageal clearance

    Difference of esophageal clearance determined by HRiM and TBE in patients with achalasia treated by POEM at 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Efficacy : score of Eckardt

    Evaluation of Eckardt score at 3 months and 12 months post-POEM . Each question is rated from 0 to 3. It consists of 4 items with a total score varies from 0 to 12.

    Measured: 3 months, 12 months

  2. Efficacy : esophageal clearance

    Evaluation of esophageal clearance at 3 months post-POEM .

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Quality of life : Score QLQ-SF36

    Self-questionnaire in 36 items evaluating the quality of life. The SF-36 questionnaire is made up of 36 questions which concern the last four weeks, divided into 8 dimensions (Physical activity / Life and relationships with others / Physical pain / Perceived health / Vitality / Limitations due to psychological state / Limitations due to physical state / Mental health).

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Quality of life : QLQ-OES24

    The QLQ-OES24 consists of 24 items assessing dysphagia, deglutition, abdominal/GI symptoms, eating difficulties, pain, emotional problems relating to esophageal cancer and to side effects of chemotherapy/radiotherapy.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Quality of life : GERD-HRQL

    The GERD-HRQL was developed to survey symptomatic outcomes and therapeutic effects in patients with GERD. The scale has 11 items, which focus on heartburn symptoms, dysphagia, medication effects and the patient's present health condition.

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Quality of life : ASQ (Achalasia Quality of Life)

    The ASQ is a validated 10 questions questionnaire where patients can quantify and qualify symptoms of achalasia such as dysphagia to both solids and liquids, specific types of food, other associated symptoms, and overall health in relation to achalasia.

    Measured: 3 months

  7. Quality of life : RDQ (Reflux Disease Questionnaire):

    The RDQ is a questionnaire in which subjects are asked to report the frequency and severity of their upper gastrointestinal symptoms (six items). There are three subscales that evaluate regurgitation, heartburn, and dyspepsia. The heartburn and regurgitation subscales can be combined into a GERD dimension.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Achalasia, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Arthur BERGER, MD (+33557656439, arthur.berger@chu-bordeaux.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

esophageal clearance (time frame: 3 months). 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 26 Jul 2024.
