Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that thermal ablation of residual long segments of metaplastic, non-neoplastic Barrett-mucosa (> 2 cm) after successful endoscopic therapy with EMR under concomitant acid suppression with esomeprazole reduces the incidence of secondary neoplasias (local recurrence and metachronic neoplasia) during 5-year follow-up in comparison to acid suppression with esomeprazole alone without thermal ablation (study objective secondary prevention; primary study end point: secondary neoplasia during 5-year follow-up; secondary study end points: completion of 5-year follow-up or premature termination of the study).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To demonstrate that patients after successful thermal ablation require continuation of acid suppressive therapy with proton pump inhibitors for symptomatic control of the underlying reflux disease (study objective: control of reflux symptoms; primary study end point: occurrence of reflux symptoms under double-blind medication of esomeprazole vs. placebo; secondary study end points: completion of 5-year follow-up or premature termination of the study).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Endoscopically (lateral extent) and histologically (basal extent) proven complete remission after endoscopic therapy of a mucosal Barrett-adenocarcinoma (endoscopic resection +/- thermal treatment of resection margins) (complete remission)
    - Initial length of Barrett-segment prior to therapy of Barrett-carcinoma >3 cm (tongues and circumferential part together) (initial LSBE)
    - Histologically proven presence of non-neoplastic Barrett-mucosa of at least 2 cm extent (longitudinal or radial extent (no high grade intraepithelial neoplasia or adenocarcinoma in at least 4 biopsies per 2 cm Barrett-segment) (present Barrett-segment >2 cm)
    - Adult patient and informed consent to repeated endoscopic examinations (diagnostic and therapeutic) as well as to continuous drug therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPI, esomeprazole) (informed consent)
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Previous attempt of ablation of non-neoplastic Barrett-mucosa (irrespective of time and method; not valid with regard to previous administration of ablative methods for the treatment of neoplastic Barrett-mucosa; previous ablation)
    - Time interval to achieve complete remission of Barrett-carcinoma >12 months (from first to last endoscopic therapy; prolonged therapy phase)
    - Time interval between achievement of complete remission and enrollment to this trial of more than 24 months (delay between therapy and secondary prophylaxis)
    - Barrett-carcinoma that is the cause for checking participation in the present trial is a recurrence of a previously known and pre-treated carcinoma (Barrett-carcinoma-recurrence)
    - History of repeatedly poor or lacking healing of therapeutically induced ulcerations (chronic EMR-ulcer)
    - No detectable Barrett-mucosa after completion of primary therapy or when complete remission was achieved (no Barrett-mucosa)
    - Being unwilling or unable to take proton pump inhibitors (PPI, esomeprazole) regularly and for a long time (no PPI-compliance)
    - Co-morbidity of malignant diseases or life expectancy <1 year
    - Pregnancy and lactation period (women of childbearing potential must use reliable contraceptive measures during the trial: e.g., hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, condoms, abstinence)
    - Age below 18 years
    - Inability or doubts with regard to ability of the patient to understand nature, significance, implications and risks of the clinical trial and to take appropriate decisions
    - Missing signed declaration of consent after appropriate information
    - Known intolerance to esomeprazole, substituted benzimidazoles or one of the other ingredients of trial medication
    - Known fructose-intolerance, glucose-galactose-malabsorption or saccharase-isomaltase-deficiency
    - Increased bleeding risk during therapeutic endoscopic procedures (thrombocytopenia, plasmatic coagulation disorders, history of bleeding tendency, esophageal varices, liver cirrhosis Child-Pugh B/C), renal insufficiency requiring dialysis or other clinically relevant risks according to the investigator’s opinion
    - Participation in another clinical trial within one month prior to or during the present trial
    - Previous participation in this trial
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    (1) primary end point of main study objective secondary prevention: incidence of secondary neoplasias (Barrett-adenocarcinoma and high-grade neoplasia) during follow-up and time of occurrence (secondary end points: individual completion of 5-year follow-up without secondary neoplasia, premature termination of the study, death)

    (2) primary end point of the secondary study objective Barrett-ablation: feasibility, completeness and safety of Barrett-ablation with APC (secondary end points: failure of APC-ablation >90 % of Barrett-segment, recurrence of non-neoplastic Barrett-esophagus, individual completion of 5-year follow-up without secondary neoplasia, premature termination of the study, death)

    (3) primary end point of the secondary study objective reflux control: symptomatic or endoscopic recurrence of reflux disease after successful thermal ablation of residual long segments of metaplastic, non-neoplastic Barrett-mucosa (> 2 cm) after successful endoscopic therapy of an early mucosal Barrett-carcinoma with EMR (secondary end points: completion of 2-year follow-up without experiencing a symptomatic or endoscopic relapse (secondary study objective reflux control), completion of 5-year follow-up without secondary neoplasia (main study objective, secondary end point), secondary neoplasia during follow-up, Barrett-Neoplasia during follow-up, premature termination of the study, death)
