E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To find out if YF476 decreases the levels of Ki67, a substance (biomarker) that indicates cellular growth and activity, in patients with Barrett's oesophagus. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the effect of YF476 on the levels of substances (biomarkers) linked to: • cancer of the oesophagus • the homone gastrin and its effects
We also aim to find out if YF476 is safe in patients with Barrett’s oesophagus.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
BO patients, aged 18 years of age; histologically confirmed diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagus, without dysplasia; have taken a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use at least once daily, for the past 12 months, and a stable dose of PPI for the past 3 months; otherwise in good health; up-to-date with all age-appropriate cancer screening tests and no cancer screening planned for the next 21 weeks; able to communicate with study personnel; reliable, willing, and likely to comply with the protocol; and willing to comply with the contraception requirements of the protocol, and consent to our informing their GP of their participation in the study. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
We exclude participants who meet the following criteria:
* histologically confirmed Barrett's oesophagus (BO) with dysplasia or cancer of the oesophagus; clinically relevant ECG findings; history of allergic reactions to medicines similar to YF476; have taken part in another clinical trial of an experimental medicine within the past 28 days; have taken certain medicines or herbal remedies during the 7 days before the start of the study; have a history of or baseline findings indicative of medical conditions related to gastrin, or medical conditions or procedures related to the gastro-intestinal system; have had any cancer (except non-invasive skin or cervical cancer) in the past 3 years; have had any other clinically significant disease — because they might increase the risk or confound the assessment of YF476; or
* pregnant or breastfeeding; unwilling to comply with the contraception requirements of the protocol — because of the potential risk to the unborn or breastfed baby.
Those criteria are designed to select patients with BO who are otherwise healthy and robust enough to recover quickly from any adverse effects of YF476. |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Expression of Ki67 (a biomarker of cell growth and activity) in BO biopsies. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At baseline and at 12 weeks. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Expression of CCK2R, DCAMKL1, COX-2 and p53 (biomarkers associated with oesophageal cancer). Plasma levels of CgA (that indicates how well the effect of gastrin is blocked). Serum gastrin levels (a marker of how well gastrin is blocked). Assessment of adverse events (to assess YF476 safety in patients). Changes in histology (what the cells look like) from tissue of the oesophagus. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Expression of CCK2R, DCAMKL1, COX-2 and p53: at baseline and at 12 weeks. Plasma levels of CgA: at baseline, at 6 and 12 weeks and at follow-up. Serum gastrin levels: at baseline, at 6 and 12 weeks and at follow-up. Assessment of adverse events: at 6 and 12 weeks and at follow-up. Changes in histology: at baseline and at 12 weeks.
