Radiomics-based Surrogate of Endoscopy (rEndosc) (CHESS1703) (rEndosc)

June 16, 2019 updated by: Xiaolong Qi, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University

Radiomics-based Surrogate of Endoscopy (rEndosc) for Noninvasive Prediction of Esophageal Varices and Risk Stratification of Variceal Hemorrhage in Hepatitis B Virus-related Cirrhosis (CHESS1703)

Esophageal varices (EVs) resulting from portal hypertension are a prevalent complication of cirrhosis with a high mortality when variceal hemorrhage (VH) occurs. Screening endoscopy for EVs is recommended for all patients with cirrhosis, and prophylactic treatments are proposed for preventing VH, which may be financially onerous. Therefore, noninvasive tools for diagnosing EVs and risk stratifying VH in cirrhotic patients are needed to decrease the number of unnecessary invasive endoscopic examinations of low-risk patients and avoid unneeded prophylactic treatment. This is a prospective, multi-center diagnostic trial conducted at 9 high-volume liver centers in China designed to determine the diagnostic performance of radiomics-based surrogate (rEndosc) (investigational technology) by CT imaging for noninvasive prediction of EVs and risk stratification of VH in patients with hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis using endoscopic examinations as reference standard.

Detailed Description

Esophageal varices (EVs) resulting from portal hypertension are a prevalent complication of cirrhosis with a high mortality when variceal hemorrhage (VH) occurs. Screening endoscopy for EVs is recommended for all patients with cirrhosis, and prophylactic treatments are proposed for preventing VH, which may be financially onerous. Therefore, noninvasive tools for diagnosing EVs and risk stratifying VH in cirrhotic patients are needed to decrease the number of unnecessary invasive endoscopic examinations of low-risk patients and avoid unneeded prophylactic treatment. This is a prospective, multi-center diagnostic trial conducted at 9 high-volume liver centers (Beijing YouAn Hospital, Capital Medical University; Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University; 302 Hospital of PLA; Shandong Provincial Hospital; Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University; Chinese PLA General Hospital; Peking University People's Hospital; Xingtai People's Hospital) in China designed to determine the diagnostic performance of radiomics-based surrogate (rEndosc) (investigational technology) by CT imaging for noninvasive prediction of EVs and risk stratification of VH in patients with hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis using endoscopic examinations as reference standard.

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.
Interventional

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 to 75 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes
