NCT05995171
Oesophageal atresia (OAEA), a malformation of the oesophagus present from birth, is characterized by the interruption of the continuity of the oesophagus, which then ends in a cul-de-sac. (Source: Fimatho) An operation is then required to restore continuity to the esophagus. Although this operation enables the vast majority of children to survive the neonatal period, health problems such as gastro-oesophageal reflux, eating difficulties, respiratory problems and growth problems persist throughout life. The aim of the project is to create a prospective cohort of adolescents aged 13/14, nested in the national AO registry. of adolescents born with esophageal atresia, including a biobank of esophageal mucosa and plasma blood samples. Once the clinical and omic data have been collected, the data will be transferred to the France Cohortes information system for analysis, in order to assess the long-term outcome of this rare disease and establish multi-omic profiles. Once the clinical data have been collected and the omics data (derived from analysis of the biobank's biological samples) have been generated, they will be analyzed by the project partners to assess the long-term outcome of OA and establish multiomic profiles. The raw data will be available on the France Cohorte platform.

The SuNDiAL study will measure levels of two naturally occurring amino acids: Arginine and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) in neonates undergoing abdominal surgery in the first 5 days of life due to congenital abdominal malformations as the participants recover from surgery. The investigators hypothesise that the relationship between Arginine and ADMA may be useful in predicting recovery and complications in babies who have had abdominal surgery due to previous research published in adult patients undergoing abdominal surgery. If this relationship is found to be useful there may be options for developing treatments (such as arginine supplementation) in the future to improve recovery and reduce complications in neonates undergoing abdominal surgery. Neonates born after 35 weeks gestation who have a congenital abdominal malformation who require abdominal surgery in the first 5 days will be eligible to participate in the SuNDiAL study. Arginine and ADMA will be measured from blood samples that are left over from the participant's blood tests that are taken as part of their routine clinical care. The investigators will measure Arginine and ADMA preoperatively and at least 10 points in the 30 days following their surgery, or until the participant fully recovers from surgery (which ever comes first). There is no intervention in the SuNDiAL study, and there will be no extra blood or blood samples taken. Serums samples that are left over from the babies routine clinical blood tests will be stored securely in the hospitals laboratory until analysis for Arginine and ADMA. The levels of Arginine and ADMA will be compared to the time it takes the participants to recover from surgery and any complications that may arise following surgery. During the study the study team will use the participants electronic medical record to establish when the participant became fully established on oral feeding and monitor for any complications that occurred during their recovery.
NCT07100379
Esophageal atresia (EA) is one of the most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies that affects 1 in 2500 to 1 in 4000 live births. It is characterized by abnormal development of the esophagus, which requires surgical intervention to be compatible with life. Surgical repair of EA is associated with risk of developing esophageal strictures or narrowing, which nearly affects 40% of cases. Strictures can be treated using endoscopic balloon dilation, which consists of introducing a catheter with a balloon into the esophagus via endoscopy and positioning it across stricture followed by balloon inflation. The inflated balloon is held in position for a set amount of time with the goal to dilate the narrowed area. At this time there are no pediatric studies comparing difference balloon dilation times and outcomes. Our study's goal is to evaluate balloon dilation inflation time in treating esophageal anastomotic strictures to understand if inflation time is associated with outcome.
NCT03455881
The investigators propose a preliminary study performing exome sequencing on samples from patients and their biologically related family members with tracheal and esophageal birth defects (TED). The purpose of this study is to determine if patients diagnosed with TED and similar disorders carry distinct mutations that lead to predisposition. The investigators will use advanced, non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to assess tracheal esophageal, lung, and cardiac morphology and function in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients. MRI techniques is done exclusively if patient is clinically treated at primary study location and if patient has not yet had their initial esophageal repair.
NCT02883725
The esophageal atresia is a group of birth defects including a break in continuity of the esophagus with or without persistent communication with the trachea (tracheoesophageal fistula), sometimes associated (from 50%) of other malformations (heart, kidney, digestive ...). The current prognosis for this ailment is good. However he persists a mortality (\<10%) and significant morbidity, firstly related malformations (heart, kidney, for example), and secondly with particularly difficult anatomical forms (Forms long defect) . The prevalence of this condition is estimated to be 1/2500 in 3000 live births, making an estimated ± 2,500 new cases over to 10 years in France. The current project aims to set up a national registry (Metropolitan France and Dom Tom) to measure the prevalence of esophageal atresia among live births, phenotypic characteristics, the circumstances of their diagnosis, and their initial future at short-term during the first year of life, at which time occurs the vast majority of deaths and complications in this disease.
NCT01467245
This is a pilot randomised controlled trial comparing open versus thoracoscopic surgery for repair of oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula or congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates. Thoracoscopic surgery involves insufflation of carbon dioxide into the thoracic cavity and may therefore cause hypercapnia and acidosis.
NCT03619408
The goal of this study is to prospectively evaluate the impact of antacid therapy on esophagitis in children with repaired esophageal atresia. Recent clinical guidelines have attempted to define a systematic approach to the management of these patients with regards to minimizing and treating esophagitis (Krishnan et al 2016), however the quality of evidence supporting many of the recommendations are based on expert opinion or on limited, retrospective studies. Risk factors for esophagitis and optimal length of antacid therapy are not well defined. Through this study, we aim to identify risk factors for the presence of esophagitis in patients with repaired esophageal atresia. We hypothesize that antacid therapy improves esophagitis severity in children following esophageal repair.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral and rectal omeprazole treatment in infants with gastroesophageal reflux due to esophageal atresia or congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
NCT02525705
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence at 3.5 months of age of dumping syndrome in children operated at birth for oesophageal atresia type III et IV.
NCT03767673
The majority of the clinical research on esophageal atresia focuses on the upper gastrointestinal tract. However, the trachea and the lung are also affected in many of these children, so that a lifelong pulmonary impairment may result. The importance of respiratory function in the context of follow-up of these patients has therefore been increasingly recognized in recent years. Scientific work has shown significantly, that patients following esophageal atresia repair develop respiratory symptoms more frequently than the normal population. Mild impairment of the pulmonary function in adolescence and adulthood was demonstrated in some studies, but to date, there is no exact idea about the relationship between early childhood disease progression and later pulmonary impairment. Only a few scientific papers have dealt with the effect of impaired pulmonary function on the physical capacity of these adolescents and adults. Most of these studies show small case numbers, inconclusive stress tests, and divergent results. The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the cardiopulmonary performance capacity and the pulmonary microbiome of adolescent and adult patients with corrected esophageal atresia and to compare the results with a control group. Another focus of the investigators is on the composition of the pulmonary microbiome of the participants. Changes of the pulmonary microbiome and the influence on the cardio-pulmonary performance capacity have not yet been investigated. Furthermore, it should be investigated whether the treatment measures and a complicated disease course in the neonatal period have long-term effects on lung function, exercise capacity and composition of the microbiome in the lungs.
