Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of esophageal epithelial regenerative treatment by the transplantation of the product, CLS2702C, to the esophageal wound site after extensive ESD for superficial esophageal cancer in the steroid administration risk group.
Rationale: The study hypothesizes that NKI followed by endoscopic bougie dilation therapy will result in an increased dysphagia-free period, a reduction of endoscopic procedures and dysphagia-related quality of life, and lower costs, when compared with the standard endoscopic bougie dilation (EBD) in recurrent esophagogastric anastomotic strictures. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of needle-knife incision (NKI) followed by EBD compared to standard EBD in patients with recurrent esophagogastric anastomotic strictures. Study design: This multicenter study is an randomized controlled trial in which NKI followed by EBD will be compared with standard EBD. Study population: Patients with recurrent dysphagia (at least 1 and a maximum of 5 previous dilations) due to an anastomotic esophagogastric stricture that requires treatment with repeated endoscopic bougie dilations. Intervention : The intervention to be investigated is the addition of NKI therapy to EBD to 18 mm esophageal diameter. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome of this study will be EBD-free time during follow-up of 6 months. Secondary outcome parameters will be the number of endoscopic procedures for treatment of dysphagia, quality of life (QoL), cost-reduction and cost-effectiveness.
In this open-label pilot study we want to investigate whether intralaesional injection with collagenase clostridium histolyticum (XiapexR) into the esophageal stricture followed by dilation 24 hours later improves the outcome of patients with refractory esophageal anastomotic strictures as compared to dilation alone (standard of care).
Management of pharyngoesophageal stenosis (PES) in patients after head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment remains a challenge. There are some cases of strictures refractory to dilation sessions. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Mitomycin C (MMC) endoscopic injection for the treatment of refractory pharyngoesophageal stenosis. Patients and methods: This is a prospective study in patients with dysphagia following head and neck cancer treatment, without evidence suggestive of tumor recurrence, and refractory to endoscopic treatment. Theses undergo endoscopic dilation of the stenotic segment with thermoplastic bougies, followed by the injection of MMC.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a functional luminal imaging probe to characterize benign esophageal luminal strictures before and after dilation and identify predictors of response to therapy. Patients will be evaluated during endoscopy using functional luminal imaging (EndoFLIP; Crospon Medical Devices, Galway, Ireland) to characterize the geometry of benign luminal esophageal narrowing before and after dilation.
