Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

It is widely accepted that chromoendoscopy using Lugol's solution is effective for the detection of early esophageal squamous neoplasia. However, this modality may cause severe chest pain and discomfort owing to mucosal irritation. The conventional concentration of Lugol's solution is in the range of 1.2% to 2.5% . Image quality can be guaranteed with this range of Lugol's solution. However, lead to retrosternal pain and discomfort, and can even induce erosion or ulceration in the esophagus and stomach. This study was to test whether a lower concentration of Lugol's solution, which has minimal mucosal irritation, can provide satisfied image quality by a randomized blinded controlled trial.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Image Quality
Time Frame: intraoperative
Image quality is blindly quantified by a 4-point scale from the endoscopists. A higher score representing higher image quality.
intraoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tolerance
Time Frame: intraoperative
The 4-point scale was used to assess the tolerance of endoscopist to the esophageal spasm caused by Lugol's solution which prevent endoscopy from passing. 1-4 means the resistance as intolerable, tolerable, mild, or non-existing.
intraoperative
Gastric Mucosa Injury
Time Frame: 1 months
The gastric mucosal injury caused by Lugol's solution is defined as post-staining gastritis score minus pre-staining gastritis score in pCLE. The confocal gastritis was graded 0 to 3,according to pit patterns, capillaries, and fluorescein leakage. A higher score representing more serious injury.
1 months
Adverse Events
Time Frame: 24 hours
Both a written and oral form of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was provided to the patients after the endoscopy examination, used for measuring patients' retrosternal pain, retrosternal discomfort, nausea, abdominal discomfort and others. In NRS, 0 is painless, 10 is the most severe pain, less than 4 is mild pain (pain does not affect sleep), 4-6 is moderate pain, and more than 7 is severe pain (pain means unable to sleep or wake up from sleep).
24 hours
Severe Adverse Events
Time Frame: 24 hours
Severe adverse events includes allergic reactions, esophageal burns, spasms and even perforation.
24 hours
Histology analysis
Time Frame: 3-5days
All specimens were evaluated by two experienced pathologists blind to the groups of the patients. The macroscopic and histologic diagnosis were made based on Paris classification and Vienna classification, respectively.
3-5days
