NCT04001478

Brief Summary

This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of oesophageal cancer and Barrett's high grade dysplasia. Patients who are attending for a planned gastroscopy or who are scheduled to undergo elective resection of histologically confirmed early stage oesophageal adenocarcinoma or dysplasia will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed to establish volatile biomarkers that can discriminate between early stage (T1) oesophageal cancer/ Hight grade dysplasia from non cancer healthy controls/non dysplastic Barrett's cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Determine the diagnostic accuracy of breath test for detection of early oesophageal cancer and Barrett's high grade dysplasia

    Diagnostic accuracy will be measured by calculating the sensitivity and specificity of the test for detection of early oesophageal cancer/ high grade dysplasia. Sensitivity and specificity values are represented by a number between 0 to 1 indicating the test's ability to pick up true positive results and true negative results respectively, where a number closer to one indicates a greater detection ability.

    4 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic validation study of the breath profile for prediction of early oeosphageal cancer and high grade dysplasia

Study Arms (3)

Control group

Patients who are attending hospital for a gastroscopy as part of their routine clinical care as a 2 week wait rule referral and those on Barrett's surveillance , will be asked to give a sample of their breath prior to the procedure.

Diagnostic Test: Breath test

Early oesophageal cancer (T1)/ Barrett's high grade dysplasia

Patients who have known pre-diagnosed T1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma or HGD attending hospital as part of their clinical care will be asked to give a breath sample prior to their endoscopy resection/ cancer operation. Patients will be sampled upon return for follow up endoscopy to assess breath profile changes and correlation with endoscopy findings.

Diagnostic Test: Breath test

Advanced Oesophageal cancer (T2/3/4)

Patients who have been diagnosed with oesophageal adenocarcinoma attending hospital as part of their clinical care will be asked to give a breath sample prior to their endoscopy resection/ cancer operation.

Diagnostic Test: Breath test

Interventions

Breath testDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients will provide a breath test prior to gastroscopy or resection of Barrett's HGD lesion or oesophageal cancer.
