Endoscopic Sub-mucosal Dissection With the Nestis® Jet Injector System With a Bi-functional Catheter: First Prospective Trial
France17 participantsStarted 2012-06
Plain-language summary
ESD (Endoscopic Sub-mucosal Dissection)is the first-intent method to treat superficial neoplasms of the digestive tract at it allows an en-bloc R0 resection. Following marking of the lesion margins, ESD comprises 3 steps: 1) liquid injection into the sub-mucosal space 2) circumferential (complete or partial) incision and 3) dissection of the submucosa. Several tools are necessary to perform ESD with the standard technique. Development of water jet with bi functional (injection and cutting) catheter allows time and significant reduction of perforation risk (due to multiple changes of instruments). For this purpose, Nestis introduced the Enki 2 pulsed jet technology with high pressure system to inject efficiently and at any time viscous solutions in direct viewing and retroflexion. Preliminary pig studies indicate that injection of glycerol, hyaluronate and hydroxyethlstarch with Enki 2 are possible. In addition, preclinical studies on living pig colon models using saline solutions have demonstrated that perforation rates and operating times are significantly reduced compared to a standard electrosurgical knife. The present clinical study is being performed to confirm this system capability to perform ESD in humans.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
