Trial summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common condition in clinical practice. In China, GERD affects nearly 150 million patients, whose quality of life are seriously impacted. Currently, the diagnosis of GERD primarily depends on the results of 24h reflux monitoring. Read more about this study

About this study

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common condition in clinical practice. In China, GERD affects nearly 150 million patients, whose quality of life are seriously impacted. Currently, the diagnosis of GERD primarily depends on the results of 24h reflux monitoring. However, such examination is under a quite low acceptability. As a result, a large number of patients were not diagnosed timely and accurately, and serious social problems are induced, such as drug abuse of proton pump inhibitor. Our team has previously developed a novel device for esophageal cell enrichment and established an internationally pioneering method of cytological screening for esophageal cancer based on cutting-edge deep learning technology. This project aims to develop multiple deep learning algorithms and establish an innovative method for diagnosis of GRED, using the novel esophageal cell enrichment technology. The research includes: 1) constructing deep learning algorithms for automatic esophageal inflammatory cells recognition and classification; 2) mining and extracting the key features of esophageal squamous cells and inflammatory cells under physician-AI interaction; 3) establishing a prediction model for GERD by integrating digital features of squamous cells and inflammatory cells and building a cloud-based automatic diagnosis system; 4) investigating the immuno-infiltration atlas of GERD and its diagnostic value based on the enriched inflammatory cells. The ultimate goal is to solve current clinical problems and realize rapid, convenient, and accurate diagnosis of GERD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by Changhai Hospital.

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 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2024. 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?

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 Luowei Wang, MD (13901833088, wangluoweimd@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 16 Jul 2024.
