What participants receive

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

  • Replacement of the esophagus with a decellularized human esophagus graftOther

    The Decellularized Human Esophagus (DHE) will be surgically implanted under general anesthesia via right or left thoracotomy or cervicotomy, depending on the location of the stenosis, to replace the esophageal defect created by resection of the stenosis. An omentoplasty is performed laparoscopically beforehand to provide secondary coverage of the graft area. A temporary esophageal stent is placed endoscopically to cover the DHE and the two anastomoses for a period of 3 months, to prevent the development of an anastomotic fistula and stenosis of the graft area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Morbidity/mortality

    Safety criterion : morbidity/mortality defined by :

    Refractory stenosis, leaking, sepsis, stent migration, death, complete rupture of anastomoses, uncontrolled mediastinal sepsis requiring removal of the substitute and/or esophagectomy, delamination of the tissue graft, tracheobronchial wound intra-operatively or oesotracheal fistula postoperatively, upper digestive obstruction after stent removal preventing any attempt to dilate the graft zone, or upper digestive obstruction after stent removal preventing any attempt to dilate the graft zone

    Measured: At 3 months after surgery

  2. Nutritional autonomy

    Efficacy criterion: nutritional autonomy at 12 months after esophageal replacement defined as stable weight with exclusive oral nutrition and without esophageal stenting for at least 3 months, and without persistent symptomatic scar stenosis after 5 endoscopic dilatation sessions

    Measured: At 12 months after esophageal replacement

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Safety of the procedure

    The morbidity and mortality of the procedure will be defined by the occurrence of a complication such as leakage, sepsis, recurrent paralysis, esophageal stricture refractory to dilatation, anastomotic fistula, sepsis, esophageal perforation, cardio-respiratory complication (pneumopathy, pleural effusion, pulmonary embolism, AC/FA, infarction), death, tissue graft disintegration, postoperative tracheobronchial wound or oesotracheal fistula, or upper digestive obstruction after stent removal preventing any attempt to dilate the graft zone), for 12 months from the date of surgery.

    Measured: At 12 months after esophageal replacement

  2. Presence of complete re-epithelialization, and integration into the native esophagus

    Assessed by endoscopy

    Measured: At 3 months after surgery

  3. Presence of complete re-epithelialization, and integration into the native esophagus

    Assessed by CT scan with gel ingestion and intravenous contrast injection

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  4. Normal bolus transit

    Assessed by barium deglutition

    Measured: At 6 months after surgery

  5. Normal bolus transit

    Assessed by barium deglutition

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  6. Esophageal manometry

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  7. Percentage of procedures interrupted for logistical reasons

    Logistical reasons are defined as :

    • An incident during transport from the Human Tissue Bank to the operating room, resulting in the loss of the graft
    • Accidental rupture of graft packaging, with risk of loss of sterility
    • An incident occurring during the graft thawing procedure

    Measured: Up to 14 months

  8. Overall survival and Safety of procedure

    Patient survival at 12 months regardless of cause of death

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  9. Impact of procedure on quality of life

    EORTC QLQ-OG25 module Score varying between 25 and 100, the higher the score the more severe the symptoms

    Measured: At 6 months after surgery

  10. Impact of procedure on quality of life

    EORTC QLQ-OG25 module Score varying between 25 and 100, the higher the score the more severe the symptoms

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  11. Impact of procedure on quality of life

    SF12V2 modules It is a 12 items score varying from to 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the quality of life

    Measured: At 6 months after surgery

  12. Impact of procedure on quality of life

    SF12V2 modules It is a 12 items score varying from to 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the quality of life

    Measured: At 12 months after surgery

  13. Estimating the cost of the procedure for one patient

    -Direct medical costs of the procedure: constitution (tissue engineering), storage and transport of the esophageal stent, hospital stay for graft surgery, emergency room visits, scheduled or unscheduled re-hospitalizations, follow-up in hospital consultations, scheduled or unscheduled outpatient physician visits, outpatient biological procedures, outpatient medical imaging, drug prescriptions, transport and coordination time by the expert team.

    Measured: At 12 months

  14. Estimating the cost of the procedure for target population

    -Simulation using trial data of costs for all patients with esophageal transplant indication

    Measured: At 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Replacement of the esophagus with a decellularized human esophagus graft in people with Esophageal Stenosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 5 inclusion and 24 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 28 Oct 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Pierre Cattan, MD PhD (+33142499116 ext. +33, pierre.cattan@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Morbidity/mortality (time frame: At 3 months after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
