ARAT for Reflux Disease After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Patients With

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

The peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of achalasia is associated with a higher incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease compared with Heller's myotomy. Remodeling of the esophagogastric junction with hybrid argon plasma could decrease the passage of gastric or gastroduodenal content into the esophagus.

Clinical Trial Description

Achalasia is the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax in the context of dysfunction of esophageal peristalsis. Peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of achalasia has an efficacy above 90%, being comparable with Heller's myotomy. The treatment of achalasia by peroral endoscopic myotomy is associated with a higher incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, compared with alternative therapies such as Heller's myotomy or pneumatic dilatation. Hybrid argon plasma at the level of the esophagogastric junction could generate remodeling of this region generating a partial stenosis and thereby decrease the passage of gastric or gastroduodenal content into the esophagus. A clinical trial will be carried out, including all patients with achalasia, treated by peroral myotomy older than 18 years old, with abnormal acid exposure in the pHmetry test 3 months or more after treatment, who accept the management of ablation with hybrid argon plasma. To whom the ablation will be performed with Hybrid Argon Plasma and its effectiveness will be evaluated by clinical questionnaires, endoscopy and pHmetry measurement at the beginning, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the procedure. Demographic and clinical data will be recorded in a data collection sheet, detailing the reflux questionnaire(GERDQ), Eckardt score, endoscopic findings of esophagitis according to Los Angeles classification and abnormal acid exposure in each evaluation. The data will be condensed into a database for subsequent statistical analysis and publication of results. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
