About this study

Official title: Influence of Nutrition and SarcoPenia on Esophageal Cancer ouTcomes (INSPECT Study)

Prospective multicenter longitudinal (observational) study recruiting from tertiary centers for the surgical management of esophageal cancer; Virginia Mason Medical Center (Seattle, USA) and St Mary's Hospital (Imperial College, London, UK). This is intended to be a pilot study.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing curative treatment for esophageal cancer will be recruited at the time of routine clinical assessment shortly following initial diagnosis and will undergo clinical and radiological evaluation at two study time points: (1) staging investigation (e.g. laparoscopy or endoscopy) and (2) definitive surgical resection. Study time points have been judiciously chosen to coincide with interventions that form part of patient's routine clinical care. It is intended that sampling will occur on the day of each intervention/surgery following a routine period of fasting.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06314516
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Body CompositionRadiologic assessment of fat and muscle components of body composition at presentation and following initial treatment for esophageal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Longitudinal variation in body composition

    Establish the effect of patient and disease-specific factors on body composition in a global cohort of patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient and disease-specific factors

    Provide a benchmark for future reporting of body composition and to explore the association between body composition and outcomes of esophageal cancer surgery

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Cancer and Sarcopenia, run by Benaroya Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 24 May 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 United States. 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?

Longitudinal variation in body composition (time frame: Approximately 1 year). 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 24 May 2024.
