Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Previous oesophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction (>3 months earlier) 2. Age between 18-90 years. 3. Presence of delayed gastric emptying based on symptoms and at least one of the fol-lowing objective parameters indicating delayed gastric emptying: a. Delayed gastric emptying on nuclear scintigraphy, b. Delayed gastric emptying on timed barium swallow, c. Retention of solids in the gastric tube seen during gastroduodenoscopy, and/or d. Good symptomatic response on botulinum toxin injection into the pylorus (re-sponse lasted at least 2 months). 4. Signed written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous surgical drainage (pyloroplasty or pyloromyotomy). 2. Previous (attempt at) G-POEM. 3. Uncontrolled coagulopathy. 4. Prognosis qua ad vitam <2 years.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Efficacy of G-POEM defined as success rate at 3 months, reported as patient reported outcome measurements (PROMS) using a 6 point likert scale, answer-ing the question: “How do you rate your symptoms after the G-POEM procedure as compared to the situation before the procedure?” 1. symptoms fully disap-peared, 2. significant improvement, 3. mild improvement, 4. no change, 5. bit worse, 6. significantly worse. A score of 1 or 2 is considered clinical success. 2.Feasibility of G-POEM defined as technical success of G-POEM procedure (i.e. the ability to perform a complete pyloromyotomy). 3.Safety of G-POEM based on: -Peri-operative G-POEM complications: perforation, bleeding, cardiopulmonary events. -All severe adverse events (SAEs) defined as any unwanted events occurring within 5 days after G-POEM resulting in >72 hours prolonged admission, ad-mission to a medium or intensive care unit, additional unplanned endoscopic procedures, unplanned radiological (e.g. coiling) or surgical interventions, or blood transfusion or death. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 8.1.2 Secondary study parameters/endpoints 1. Durability of G-POEM, defined as the clinical success rate at 12 months reported as PROMs (see main study parameter 1). 2. Success rate at 3 and 12 months based on: - Objective parameters: post-G-POEM gastric emptying time on nuclear scintigraphy, post-G-POEM gastric emptying time on barium swallow, post-G-POEM EndoFlip measurement, post-G-POEM gastroduodenoscopy findings. - Subjective parameters: Gastric Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), dumping symptom score, regurgitation symptom score. 3. Possible predictors for success or failure of G-POEM, based on: - Objective parameters: pre-G-POEM gastric emptying times on nuclear scintig-raphy, pre-G-POEM gastric emptying on barium swallow, pre-G-POEM EndoFlip, pre-G-POEM gastroduodenoscopy (e.g. retention and/or dilation of gastric tube), previous success on BOTOX injection. - Subjective parameters (patient reported outcomes): Gastric Cardinal Symp-tom Index (GCSI), dumping symptom score, regurgitation symptom score. 4. Adverse events (AEs) defined as any unwanted events that arise following treatment and/or that are secondary to the treatment; events classified as severe adverse events (SAEs) are mentioned as primary endpoint. 5. (changes in) Quality of life, based on SF-36 questionnaire. | — |
