NCT ID: NCT05053945 Recruiting - Helicobacter Pylori Clinical Trials

Helicobacter Pylori, Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia Registry and Prospective Study

Start date: May 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Since much is unknown about factors that lead to progression of the pre-neoplastic lesions and cancer. In addition, there is ongoing debate on the optimal surveillance intervals and techniques. To solve these important clinical questions, the establishment of a registry for a longitudinal study is planned.

NCT ID: NCT04869618 Recruiting - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

Validation of an Artificial Intelligence System Based on Raman Spectroscopy for Diagnosis of Gastric Premalignant Lesions and Early Gastric Cancer

Start date: May 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Early detection and treatment of gastric premalignant lesion and early gastric cancer (EGC) have been proposed to improve outcomes of gastric cancer. Gastric dysplasia is a premalignant lesion and the penultimate stage in gastric carcinogenesis. On white light endoscopy (WLE), it is difficult to distinguish gastric dysplasia and EGC from benign pathology such as gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). Image enhanced endoscopy such as narrow-band imaging (NBI) is recommended to improve characterization of suspicious gastric lesions detected on WLE. Magnified-endoscopy with NBI (ME-NBI) have been shown to be superior to HD-WLE for diagnosis of GIM and EGC. Data on gastric dysplasia is less robust. Ultimately, biopsy is required to confirm diagnosis of gastric dysplasia/EGC. Gastric dysplasia can be classified into low-grade dysplasia (LGD) or high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Biopsy sampling may not be representative of the final histopathological grade of resected specimens and may under-stage dysplasia. Thus, endoscopic resection (ER) is recommended for gastric dysplasia and EGC on biopsy for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. The current gap is to improve concordance of endoscopic and histologic findings of gastric dysplasia and early gastric cancer. Raman spectroscopy based artificial intelligence system (SPECTRA IMDx) was developed to provide an objective method to identify patients with gastric premalignant lesions and EGC. SPECTRA IMDx interrogate tissues at the cellular level and utilizes molecular information to provide actionable information to endoscopist during gastroscopy. Studies on diagnostic performance using Raman spectroscopy analysis devices have shown high sensitivity and specificity in detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions compared to WLE. However, these studies included few GIM, gastric dysplasia and gastric carcinoma. It is still unclear if Raman spectroscopy outperforms WLE in diagnosis of gastric HGD and EGC. In addition, the Raman spectroscopy algorithm is only able to characterize lesions into high risk (HGD/EGC) versus low risk (GIM/LGD/Gastritis/Normal). It is also uncertain if this technology is able to differentiate GIM and LGD. We plan to conduct a prospective trial to validate the diagnostic accuracy of SPECTRA for prediction of gastric HGD and EGC prior to gastric ER. Hypothesis: SPECTRA IMDx is able to differentiate higher risk lesions (HGD/EGC) from lower risk tissue/lesion (GIM/LGD/Gastritis/Normal)

SUrveillance of PREMalignant Stomach - Individualized Endoscopic Follow-up

SUPREME
Start date: January 2, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia are the principal precursors for gastric cancer and, therefore, are considered gastric premalignant conditions. Although current guidelines recommend surveillance of individuals with these conditions, the best method for its identification and staging (histological vs endoscopy) and the best time schedule for follow-up are still controversial. Aims: To describe for the first-time patients with premalignant conditions both clinically (familial history), histologically (OLGA/OLGIM; complete/incomplete metaplasia) and endoscopically (EGGIM) using validated scales and to describe evolution of these parameters through time. To estimate prospectively the gastric cancer risk according to EGGIM stages. To define the best endoscopic surveillance follow-up for the several stages considering clinical, histological and endoscopic factors. Methods: Multicenter study involving different gastroenterology departments from several countries. Consecutive patients older than 45 years scheduled for upper endoscopy in each of these centers will be evaluated by High-Resolution- endoscopy with virtual chromoendoscopy and EGGIM will be calculated. Guided biopsies (if areas suspicious of IM) and/or random biopsies (if no areas suspicious of IM) in antrum and corpus will be made and OLGA/OLGIM stages calculated. Patients will be evaluated in clinical consultation and database will be fulfilled. All patients will be eradicated for Helicobacter pylori infection if positive. At that occasion, all the patients with EGGIM>5 and/or OLGA III/IV and/or OLGIM III/IV will be randomized for yearly (12 to 16 months) or every three years (32-40 months) endoscopic follow-up during a period of 6 years (SUPREME I). Endoscopic observational follow-up will be scheduled for patients with EGGIM 1-4 and OLGIM I/II at 3 and 6 years (SUPREME II). For individuals with no evidence of IM (EGGIM 0 and OLGIM 0, OLGA 0-II) a follow-up endoscopy 6 years after will be proposed (SUPREME III).

NCT ID: NCT04191551 Recruiting - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

The GAstric Precancerous Conditions Study

GAPS
Start date: July 30, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Gastric cancer afflicts 27,000 Americans annually and carries a dismal prognosis. One reason for poor outcomes is late diagnosis, as the majority of gastric cancers in the United States are diagnosed at a relatively advanced stage where curative resection is unlikely. Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a precancerous change of the stomach which increases risk for subsequent gastric cancer multiple-fold. The Gastric Precancerous Conditions Study (GAPS) is an observational study with two over-arching objectives: 1) improve the non-invasive identification of patients with GIM, and 2) develop biological markers to predict the subset of GIM which will progress onto gastric cancer. To achieve Aim 1, a case-control study (N=300 pairs) matching cases of GIM with age-/gender-matched controls will be recruited form the population of subjects undergoing clinically-indicated endoscopy. Determination of gastric pathology will be made by two, independent gastrointestinal pathologists. At time of endoscopy, a detailed clinical questionnaire is administered by face-to-face interview. Saliva and blood is collected prior to endoscopy. At time of endoscopy, protocoled clinical biopsies (per Revised Sydney Protocol) as well as additional research specimens are collected. Scoring of GIM will be performed based on the Operative Link for GIM scoring system. To achieve Aim 2, patients with histologically-confirmed GIM (N=300) will be followed longitudinally. Biennial endoscopic surveillance will be performed, with repeat biopsies, specimen collection, and histologic scoring. Progression of GIM will be defined as upstaging of GIM score, or development of either dysplasia or carcinoma on any biopsy.

NCT ID: NCT04184960 Recruiting - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT04054713 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Intestinal Metaplasia

Acetic Acid for the Detection of Esophageal Neoplasms

Start date: July 3, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Barrett's esophagus is a complication of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease that occurs in up to 10% to 15% of patients with this pathology. Well-defined risk factors have been established and are important because they are considered a precancerous lesion (intestinal metaplasia). The conventional diagnostic methods are ineffective in reliably detecting potentially treatable lesions. Investigators propose the use of vital chromoendoscopy with acetic acid using the simplified classification of Portsmouth looking for areas with loss of acetowhitening and taking targeted biopsies to increase the detection of esophageal neoplastic lesions.
