About this trial

The project will aim to identify and determine subgroups of patients with different risks of progression to gastric cancer and to assess appropriate follow-up intervals. Implementing risk stratification only high risk individuals will be offered and performed endoscopic surveillance.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

None

Trial population

The patients with material of standardized biopsies according to the standard criteria (updated Sydney system) will be classified in different risk groups for progression to gastric cancer (Group 2-7). The appropriate follow-up intervals will be scheduled according MAPS guidelines and follow-up procedures (upper endoscopies) will be performed for each research group (Group 2-7).

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Upper endoscopy with biopsies

    Procedure/Surgery

    Upper endoscopy with proper biopsy work-up will be used for identification and stratification of gastric lesions as well as acquisition of biopsies for histopathological examination, including H.pylori detection

  • Plasma/serum sampling

    Procedure/Surgery

    Plasma/serum sampling will be used to obtain information for group stratification, e.g. H.pylori status determination, serum biomarkers

  • Biopsies for gastric microbiota

    Procedure/Surgery

    During upper endoscopy biopsies for gastric microbiota analysis will be obtained

  • Faecal sample acquisition

    Procedure/Surgery

    Faecal samples will be obtained for faecal occult blood testing as well as microbiota analysis

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Risk stratification

The patients with material of standardized biopsies according to the standard criteria (updated Sydney system) will be classified in different risk groups for progressing to gastric cancer. The measurements for the risk stratification will be used following the updated Sydney grading and classification system e.g. degree and extent of atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia in the stomach mucosa

Time frame
At baseline

Secondary outcomes

1

Scheduled follow-up procedures (gastroscopies) for high risk group patients

The subgroup of patients at different risk of progression to gastric cancer will be selected and appropriate follow-up intervals will be scheduled and performed. Significant risk stage changes before and after the follow-up upper endoscopy in different research groups.

Time frame
At baseline and then 1 and 3 years after the intervention depending on hystopathological report through study completion
2

Gastric, faecal microbiome in cancer patients and patients with precancerous lesions

Significant differences in the composition of gastric, faecal microbiome (phyla, genera) in cancer patients and patients with precancerous lesions

Time frame
At baseline and then 1 and 3 years after the intervention depending on hystopathological report through study completion
