Endoscopic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Multicenter Registry Study

May 25, 2023 updated by: Advanced Endoscopy Research, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Rutgers University

Currently, there is limited multi-center data on endoscopic surgery outcomes in western populations.

Evaluation of these measurement would help the investigators compare them to conventional treatment modalities within current tertiary facilities; and consequently help the investigators identify appropriate treatment techniques and improve clinical management of patients at Rutgers RWJMS.

The purpose of this retrospective registry study is to assess long term data on efficacy, safety and clinical outcome of Endoscopic Surgery within the gastrointestinal tract.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Enrolling by invitation

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

Our tertiary-care institution performs clinically-indicated various Endoscopic Surgery procedures gastrointestinal indications in more than 800-1000 patients annually.

The study investigators would collect data on a large sample size of subjects undergoing various endoscopic resection procedures such as POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy), EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection), ESD (Endoscopic submucosal dissection), STER (Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection), NOTES (Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery), TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication), Endoscopic Fistula Closure, Endoscopic Suturing, Capsule Endoscopy and EFTR (Endoscopic full-thickness resection). Clinical metrics will be collected including procedure times, length of follow-up, specific tumor characteristics, resection method, pathology results, procedural complications, additional therapy required, and disease-free survival time.

Various endoscopic surgical procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery, have fewer side effects and provide better efficacy. Moreover, they can be available to patients who are ineligible for surgery or who have refused more aggressive surgical intervention.

They improve quality of life and extend survival duration.

Endoscopic surgery procedures can be an appropriate approach in many gastrointestinal disorders including early neoplasms, challenging adenomas or sub-epithelial lesions that requires the resection of the superficial layers, mucosa and submucosa, or full thickness resection of the tract wall.

Currently, there is limited multi-center data on endoscopic surgery outcomes in western populations.

Evaluation of these measurement would help the investigators compare them to conventional treatment modalities within current tertiary facilities; and consequently help the investigators identify appropriate treatment techniques and improve clinical management of patients at Rutgers RWJMS.

The purpose of this retrospective registry study is to assess long term data on efficacy, safety and clinical outcome of Endoscopic Surgery within the gastrointestinal tract.

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.

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
Efficacy of procedure
Time Frame: Upto 1 year
Technical and clinical success rate
Upto 1 year
Safety of procedure
Time Frame: Upto 1 year
Type, frequency and intensity of adverse events
Upto 1 year

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
Quality of Life after procedure
