Pilot studies

TOGAS will involve three pilot studies, each designed to address specific aspects of gastric cancer screening and early detection. Cost-effectiveness modelling and addressing medical ethics aspects will be an important integral part of the project.

H.pylori screen and treat study in young-age population, the strategy is going to evaluate this approach in young adults (generally 30 – 35 years of age).
 

Stomach assessment in subjects undergoing colonoscopy. Task of this pilot study is supposed to deliver comprehensive data on different strategies for a combined screening for lower and upper gastrointestinal cancer. Data will be generated from multiple sites across Europe that will allow a flexible cost-effectiveness modelling of this strategy respective different health care settings.

Addressing the longterm adverse events of H.pylori eradication based on pepsinogen screening and H.pylori eradication study in middle-aged population.
