Performance of White Light, NBI and Iodine Staining Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Esophageal Lesions

November 18, 2019 updated by: Yang Ke, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

Performance of White Light, Narrow Band Imaging and Iodine Staining Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Esophageal Squamous Epithelium Lesions: A Multicenter Clinical Study in China

The investigators aim to evaluate the performance of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) endoscopy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) screening, as compared to the currently used White Light Endoscopy (WLE) and Lugol's Iodine Staining Endoscopy (ISE). NBI is a simple, safe and non-invasive technique, which can provide real-time optical staining for suspicious lesions. This trial is designated to enroll 10000 participants from five centers located in different regions (North, West and South) in China, which would provide real-world evidence for the recommendation of endoscopic diagnostic technique used in ESCC screening projects.

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

45 years to 69 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients seek for endoscopic examinations at the endoscopy center in any of the five hospitals included in this study
  • Aged 45-69 years
  • Have entire esophagus
  • Provide written informed consent and leave personal identification and contact information

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have contraindications to endoscopic examination (Including but not limited to severe arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hemiplegia, asthma, severe hypertension (≥ 180 / 110mmHg), psychosis, etc )

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: Opportunistic screening cohort
This opportunistic screening cohort is constructed among patients aged 45-69 years who undergo endoscopic examinations at the endoscopy center in any of the five hospitals included in this study. Enrolled participants are requested to complete a computer aided one-on-one questionnaire regarding demographic factors, smoking and alcohol drinking status, dietary habits，digestive tract symptoms and family history of ESCC. Then experienced endoscopists will perform the upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination for each participant, and the entire esophagus will be visually examined with the white light, NBI and iodine staining endoscopic examination.
Diagnostic test: Endoscopic examination using white light, NBI and iodine staining
Participants' esophagus will be examined by three commonly used diagnostic techniques in the order of : 1. White light endoscopy (WLE); 2. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) and 3. Iodine Staining Endoscopy (ISE) with 1.2% Lugol's iodine solution. The required observation time is no less than 1 minute for WLE and 2 minutes for NBI and ISE. Endoscopic images of each participant are routinely captured at every 5 centimeters in the esophagus, and information is recorded in detail for each focal lesion. Biopsies are taken from all visually abnormal areas found by any one of the three techniques, histopathologic diagnoses are rendered by two pathologists according to standard criteria and discrepancies are adjudicated by consultation. The recorded endoscopic images for each biopsied lesion are read by two trained researchers and the visualized feature of lesions are decomposed into several indicators (e.g. size, shape, color, and border of lesions) .
