NCT ID: NCT06370143 Recruiting - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study Collecting Health Information to Understand and Prevent Gastric Cancer

Start date: April 11, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to create a registry of participants with precursor lesions for gastric cancer, including gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia. Normal controls and individuals with gastric cancer for comparison of baseline characteristics will also be enrolled.

Epidemiology of Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Moscow

Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

H. pylori is transmitted from individual to individual and causes chronic active gastritis in all infected people. H. pylori infection can result in gastroduodenal ulcers, atrophic gastritis (AG), gastric carcinoma, and gastric MALT lymphoma. More than 90% of gastric carcinomas are linked to H. pylori infection that causes chronic AG. A long course of the disease leads to the loss of gastric glands (chronic AG) followed by gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), dysplasia, and cancer. This defines two cancer prevention strategies: primary that consists of detection and eradication of H. pylori and secondary that focuses on endoscopic screening for pre-neoplastic lesions and follow-up. Primary prevention planning requires reliable information on the H. pylori prevalence in the population. To design secondary prevention measures, an understanding of the age-sex structure of precancerous changes in the gastric mucosa (the prevalence of atrophic gastritis) is necessary. H. pylori eradication is the basis of primary prevention of gastric cancer (GC). Approximately 36,000 new cases of GC are registered in the Russian Federation each year, and more than 34,000 patients die from the disease. Men get sick 1.3 times more often than women, the peak incidence occurs at the age of over 50 years. The poor outcomes reflect the late stage of diagnosis of this potentially preventable and treatable cancer. The lack of up-to-date data on the H. pylori prevalence in Moscow hinders developing of measures for the detection and timely treatment of this infection as well as the reduction of GC morbidity and mortality.

Cytosponge for Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia

CyGIM
Start date: October 16, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis. The disease is often diagnosed at a late stage, when curative treatment options are limited or ineffective. There is a condition that predisposes to gastric cancer, known in medical terms as Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). This pre-cancerous condition can be diagnosed with an endoscopic camera test, but it often very subtle and can be missed at routine endoscopy. There is evidence that about 7% of gastric cancers are missed at previous endoscopy. The Cytosponge-trefoil factor 3 (TFF-3) is a pill on a string combined to a molecular biomarker which could help early diagnosis of gastric cancer and GIM. Cytosponge-TFF3 has been showed in previous research to be useful to diagnose Barrett's oesophagus, a condition of the food pipe similar to GIM. The aim of this study is to investigate the utility of the Cytosponge in combination with molecular biomakers to diagnose GIM

Diagnostic Performance Indicators in Upper GI Endoscopy:PROSPERO Study

PROSPERO
Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cancers of the upper gastro-intestinal tract, including esophagus (gullet), stomach and small bowel, are amongst the deadliest malignancies. The main reason for their high mortality rate is that they are usually diagnosed late when curative treatments are no longer effective. However, these types of cancer generally arise from well-described pre-cancerous diseases, such as Barrett's esophagus and gastric intestinal metaplasia. This provides an opportunity for clinicians to detect these pre-cancerous conditions early and offer adequate cure or clinical monitoring before they progress to cancer. A camera test (gastroscopy) is the gold-standard test to detect pre-cancerous diseases in these organs. There has been limited research to set the standards for performance of a gastroscopy, especially with regards to diagnosis of pre-cancerous conditions, which require knowledge and skills by the physician performing the test (endoscopist). Therefore, the hypothesis behind this study is that the aforementioned pre-cancerous diseases are understudied and often go undetected. This study aims to understand how often endoscopists should diagnose these pre-cancerous diseases on routine gastroscopy and help define the standards to measure performance. The investigators will assess the following rates: i. how often endoscopists diagnose these pre-cancerous lesions during endoscopy; ii. How often these conditions are diagnosed on biopsies taken according to a standardized protocol; iii. How often these condition should have been diagnosed by the endoscopists based on the review of pictures by expert endoscopists. The investigators will also compare the rates of correct diagnosis by endoscopists with different levels of experience and based on the times spent to complete the diagnostic test. Investigating these aspects will enhance the understanding of the medical community with regards to the diagnosis of these pre-cancerous lesions and set endoscopy standards to improve their early detection and treatment before they progress to cancer. This will translate to improved cancer prevention and benefit for patients.

Surveillance of Patients With Precancerous Lesions of the Stomach

Start date: June 19, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The project will aim to identify and determine subgroups of patients with different risks of progression to gastric cancer and to assess appropriate follow-up intervals. Implementing risk stratification only high risk individuals will be offered and performed endoscopic surveillance.

NCT ID: NCT01824953 Completed - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

Long-term Follow-up Prognosis of Atrophic Gastritis After 3 Years

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Serum pepsinogen (PG) levels are considered reliable markers for progression of atrophic gastritis with a stepwise reduction in the serum PG I level or PG I/II ratio. A combination of serum PG levels and Helicobacter pylori serology are used as a biomarker strategy for detection of individuals at increased risk of gastric neoplasm based on Correa's hypothesis. The investigators aimed to uncover whether this combination method could predict the risk of gastric neoplasms and the progression of chronic atrophic gastritis after 3 years. All the participants will be followed for an expected average of 3 years.
