Endoscopic Resection in Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (RESECT-RGO)

April 3, 2019 updated by: Arthur Laquiere, Hospital St. Joseph, Marseille, France

Monocentric Study Evaluating the Efficiency and Safety of Anti-reflux Mucosectomy ARMS for the Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease

Currently patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This long-term PPI treatment would likely increase the risk of pulmonary and digestive infections and would not prevent evolution to adenocarcinoma of Barrett's Esophagus. Surgical fundoplication is generally recommended when symptoms are poorly controlled with PPIs and considered as standard treatment despite celioscopy risk. A variety of endoscopic techniques for the treatment of GERD has been proposed to obtain non-surgical control. These endoscopic techniques aim to bring the tissues closer to the Œsogastric (JOG) junction. But a low response rate has been demonstrated with these techniques.

H. Inoue (inventor of the anti-reflux mucosectomy 20 years ago) and his team postulated that the reflux symptoms would be reduced by creating a relative restriction of gastric cardia. The healing of the mucosectomy zone led to restriction of gastric cardia. This observation suggested that ARMS could represent an effective anti-reflux procedure with the advantage that no prostheses would be left in situ.

Few studies have evaluated this new endoscopic technique. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of gastric mucosectomy for patients with GERD resistant to medical treatment or requiring long-term maintenance medical treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

This is a monocentric prospective therapeutic study. Patients will be recruited in hepato-gastroenterology department of Saint Joseph Hospital (Marseille). A first clinical, endoscopic and PH impedance evaluation will be made. Mucosectomy will be scheduled depending on the results of the review.

The patients will be followed for 2 years with esophageal and gastric PH-impedance monitoring at 6 months and 24 months. Health related quality of life questionnaires will be completed before ARMS, 6 and 24 months after mucosectomy.

The characteristics of the patients will be compared to evaluate the % of responders and non-responders

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Endoscopic treatment
ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL RESECTION AT DAY 1
Procedure: Endoscopic mucosal resection

Mucosectomy performed at day 1. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), is at least 3 cm long. The mucosal resection is carried out along the side of the small curvature of the stomach, in order to preserve a valve of the cardia at the level of the large curvature of the stomach.

A coloured solution is injected into the submucosa following markers. The correct submucosal injection is confirmed by the lifting of the mucosal surface. A submucosal dissection is carried out using the dual knife. The mucosectomy is repeatedly performed until the mucosal zone is completely resected. The choice of the resection technique will depend on the anatomy of the patient.

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
Rate of patients no longer requiring medical treatment at 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months
Suggest that endoscopic treatment would allow the cessation of medical treatment in 50% of cases Rate of patients no longer requiring medical treatment at 6 months
6 months

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
Improvement in quality of life
Time Frame: 6 months
Percentage of improvement in quality of life measured by the score obtained in the GERD-HRQL questionnaire evaluating the impact of GERD on quality of life.
6 months
Improvement of gastric PH
Time Frame: 6 months
Improvement of gastric PH metric dosages.
6 months
Evaluation for morbidity
Time Frame: 30 days
Rate of all observed complications in per and post immediate procedure (up to 30 minutes). The delayed morbidity of the procedure for the study will be defined by the rate of complications occurring after the examination and up to 30 days. Specially, the following events will be studied: digestive hemorrhage and digestive perforation
