Study summary

This is a randomized, single-center clinical trial that will compare the efficacy of two substances used in the submucosal cushion formation stage of endoscopic submucosal resections of early esophageal malignant neoplasms. Such substances are hyaluronic acid in the form of TS-905 Blue Eyeₒ and hydroxyethylamide (Voluven®).

Read the detailed description
  1. Design of the study:

    This is a randomized clinical trial in a single center. The lesions will be randomized into three blocks based on the diameter of the largest axis (less than 3 cm, between 3 - 5 cm and greater than 5 cm).

  2. Selection of patients:

    The population studied will be patients with early esophageal neoplasia diagnosed and/or referred for submucosal endoscopic dissection at the São Paulo Cancer Institute (ICESP), University of São Paulo.

  3. Evaluation of effectiveness and definitions:

Effectiveness will be measured from the degree of usefulness. The degree of utility will be determined from two variables: obtaining or not a complete block resection and additional number of submucosal injections performed during endoscopic dissection. The solution that results in a complete block resection with a number of additional injections of 0 (excellent utility degree) or 1 (good utility degree) will be considered effective.

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Hydroxyethylamide Group

    15 will be from the hydroxyethylamide Group, where the submucosal endoscopic dissection will be performed with submucosal injection of hydroxyethylamide.

    Procedure: Submucous Endoscopic Dissection with hydroxyethylamide

  • Active comparator
    Hyaluronic acid group (TS-905 Blue Eye)

    15 will be from the Hyaluronic acid group (TS-905 Blue Eye), where the submucosal endoscopic dissection with submucosal injection of hyaluronic acid (TS-905 Blue Eye) will be performed.

    Procedure: Submucous Endoscopic Dissection with Hyaluronic acid (TS-905 Blue Eye)

Interventions

  • ProcedureSubmucous Endoscopic Dissection with hydroxyethylamide

    The resection will be performed in three stages using hydroxyethylamide : delimitation, incision and dissection. Initially we will inject the hydroxyethylamide and examine the delimitation of the lesion. With Knife itself, using soft or Forced coagulation current, we will circumvent the limits of the lesion with punctual coagulations 5 mm away from it.

  • ProcedureSubmucous Endoscopic Dissection with Hyaluronic acid (TS-905 Blue Eye)

    The resection will be performed in three stages using Hyaluronic acid (TS-905 Blue Eye) : delimitation, incision and dissection. Initially we will inject the Blue-Eyed and examine the delimitation of the lesion. With Knife itself, using soft or Forced coagulation current, we will circumvent the limits of the lesion with punctual coagulations 5 mm away from it.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2023 to primary completion in Dec 2024, 18 months.

Of 209 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Esophageal Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 46 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 96. This study's 18 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 218 studies reached it within 46 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 96.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jul 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
