Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

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

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of placement of the esophageal HILZO Covered stent with the TTS method in patients with non-operable malignant obstruction of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction, extrinsic malignant compression, or recurrent malignant dysphagia after esophagectomy.

Other (secondary) objects are to assess the effect of the stent on the presence of hyperplastic reaction after implantation, the functional complications and survival.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
30

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non-operable malignant obstruction of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction, extrinsic malignant compression, or recurrent malignant dysphagia after esophagectomy. A tumor is considered inoperable if the patient has local tumor infiltration in the surrounding organs, distant metastases or a poor general health due to serious concomitant disease. OR
  • Recurrent dysphagia after prior radiation with curative or palliative intent for esophageal or gastric cardia cancer.
  • Requiring treatment for dysphagia (dysphagia score of ≥ 2, according to Ogilvie2)
  • Written informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inappropriate cultural level and understanding of the study.
  • Simultaneous participation in another clinical study
  • Life expectancy of less than 12 months
  • Stenosis after laryngectomy, or if the distance between the upper edge of the stent is less than 2 cm from the upper esophageal sphincter
  • Tumor length of more than 12cm
  • Previous stent placement for the same condition

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
Incidence of treatment associated adverse events during follow-up (safety)
Time Frame: 1 year
Short term (within 7 days after treatment) and long term (after 7 days) major complications and minor complications. Major complications are defined as life threatening and severe complications such as perforation, haemorrhage, fistula formation and severe pain. Minor complications are defined as non-life threatening or moderately severe pain and gastroesophageal reflux.
1 year
Through-the-scope stent placement (feasibility): (1) ease of deployment at intended esophageal location
Time Frame: 1 day
Technical success is defined as ease of through-the-scope deployment and placement of the stent at the required esophageal location.
1 day
Through-the-scope stent placement (feasibility): incidence of device related adverse device events at moment of stent placement
Time Frame: 1 day
Device related adverse events are defined as all adverse events that take place during the through-the-scope stent placement. The incidence of the device related adverse events will be recorded.
1 day

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
Dysphagia, measured with the Ogilvie Dysphagia score (functional outcome)
Time Frame: 6 months
Ogilvie dysphagia score measured at: baseline, 2 weeks and every 4 weeks until death/stent removal, or until a maximum of 6 months follow-up.
6 months
Retrosternal pain related to esophageal stent, measured with the Visual Analog Scale (functional outcome)
Time Frame: 6 months
Retrosternal pain related to esophageal stent, measured with the Visual Analog Scale. Measurements will take place at 2 weeks and every 4 weeks until death/stent removal, or until a maximum of 6 months follow-up
6 months
