Observational Registry of Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Recruiting
Conditions
Gastro Esophageal Reflux
Interventions
Device: Transoral incisionless fundoplication
Registration Number
NCT05066594
Lead Sponsor
IRCCS San Raffaele
Brief Summary

This observational registry aims to: 1) record the TIF interventions in patients with esophageal or extra-esophageal symptoms; 2) to monitor the therapy response through the clinical experience in terms of effect on the use and dosage of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and on the GERD-Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) and Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) questionnaires scores; 3) to characterize the treated patients population and the predictive factors of TIF success, identifying the subpopulation who may effectively benefit from TIF.

Detailed Description

After being evaluated according to the clinical indication for the treatment of symptomatic gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD with esophageal or extraesophageal symptoms) by transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) and, thus, being treated by TIF using the EsophyX device, all patients giving specific informed consent will enter a 3-year enrollment registry with a 5-year follow-up for each patient through post-TIF routine practice visits and examinations.

Transoral incisionless fundoplication with EsophyX device (EndoGastric Solutions)Transoral incisionless fundoplicationPatients treated by transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) using the EsophyX device (EndoGastric Solutions) for gastro-esophageal reflux disease will be enrolled in the registry and clinically followed-up for 5 years from the date of TIF procedure.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Medical use and dosageYearly, up to 5 years from the date of the intervention

Need to use proton pump inhibitors (PPI), and at what dosage, to control the gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms after intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Modification of the scores from the gastro-esophageal reflux disease-health related quality of life (GERD-HRQL) questionnaire (off proton pump inhibitors), according to a Likert scale from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 5 (symptoms do not allow for normal daily activity), after intervention compared with baseline

Reflux Symptom Index questionnaire scoreYearly, up to 5 years from the date of the intervention

Modification of the scores from the reflux symptom index (GERD-RSI) questionnaire (off proton pump inhibitors), according to a Likert scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (severe problem) after the intervention compared with baseline
