Study summary

To test the idea that submucosal endoscopy is effective and safe for endoscopic myotomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection, and access for tissue acquisition and resection. Submucosal endoscopy is a recent innovative addition to gastrointestinal endoscopy. This involves endoscopic maneuvers in the gut wall, by dissection of the submucosal layer of GI tract, thereby allowing endoscopic myotomy (incision of the muscle), endoscopic access for tissue acquisition and therapy, and resection of precancerous and cancerous gastrointestinal tissue. This approach has been a dramatic game-changer for minimally invasive management of various gastrointestinal conditions such as Zenker's diverticulum, Achalasia, Spastic Esophageal Disorders, Gastroparesis, esophageal obstruction, Hirschsprung's Disease, and Gastrointestinal neoplasia.

The aim of the proposed study is to prospectively assess technical success, clinical success, and adverse events after submucosal endoscopy. Technical success will be defined as ability to successfully complete the submucosal endoscopic procedure. Clinical success will be defined as symptom relief and objective evaluation which will be assessed with radiologic imaging, repeat endoscopy, gastrointestinal motility studies, and pathology results routinely performed post-procedure for clinical care, as indicated. Adverse events will be recorded per published ASGE criteria.

A database/ registry of patients undergoing submucosal endoscopic procedures will be created to demonstrate this.

Study population

A prospective database/registry of patients undergoing submucosal endoscopic procedures will be formed. Women and minorities will be included as they are frequently found to have indications for which submucosal endoscopic procedures may be indicated.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients who will undergo submucosal endoscopy
  2. Age >18 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Age \<18 years
  2. Pregnancy
  3. Coagulopathy ( less than 50, more than 1.8)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
