Comparing pCLE and biopsy for stomach lining issues
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to check stomach lining growths: a special microscope called pCLE (probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) and the usual tissue sample (biopsy). If you've already had both tests and treatment to remove the growth, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You had a pCLE exam of your stomach lining
- You then had an endoscopic procedure (ESD) to remove the growth
- You had a biopsy before the ESD, and that biopsy was not advanced cancer
- Your ESD pathology result does not show advanced stomach cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
This trial compares two special camera methods (pCLE and EB) used during endoscopy to better see and diagnose early stomach changes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for precancerous spots or very early cancer.
This trial compares an endoscopic procedure (done through the mouth using a camera) versus standard surgery to treat early gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for early, limited-stage tumors.
This trial tests whether removing nearby lymph nodes is enough, or if additional stomach-sparing surgery is needed, after a previous endoscopic procedure did not completely remove early stomach cancer. The goal is to see which approach is better for preventing cancer from spreading.
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
