Phase N/A

Overview

the study aims to evaluate the role of similar technology of Narrow Band Imaging VIST video intelligent staining technology in the diagnosis of Gastric Antral Vascular ectasia in cirrhotic patients

Description

VIST (Video intelligent staining technology) is used to the diagnosis of GAVE as the form of ectatic vessels in the antrum in instead of erosions in the antrum by White light endoscopy which can mislead the diagnosis to Portal hypertension gastropathy. Targeted biopsies are taken and examined histopathologically in order to see if matching with VIST view. In addition, CD61 is used to highlight the diagnosis for more confirmation. CD61 is an immunohistochemistry platelets marker.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with mucosal vascular lesions at the gastric antrum suspicious of GAVE of a linear striped form or a diffuse punctate form upon conventional WLE

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Connective tissue disorders like systemic sclerosis.
  • Chronic kidney disease.
  • Recent use of proton pump inhibitors in the last 14 days.
  • History of gastric surgery or gastric cancer.
  • Pernicious anemia.
  • Recent history of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs intake

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
