Trial summary

This study will apply optical spectroscopy to intraoperative margin assessment during surgery for breast cancer. We hypothesize that a combination of fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy will reliably detect involved surgical margins. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Intraoperative Margin Assessment Comparing Optical Spectroscopy and Frozen Section Analysis for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast

This study will apply optical spectroscopy to intraoperative margin assessment during surgery for breast cancer. We hypothesize that a combination of fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy will reliably detect involved surgical margins. Twenty patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ will undergo a standard lumpectomy followed by scanning with a sterile optical spectroscopy probe. Frozen sections from the surgical cavity will be used to evaluate the margins. Optical spectroscopy data will be categorized as benign or malignant using a statistical algorithm and the results will be compared with the frozen and permanent section results.

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The goal of this research is to develop a minimally invasive technology with the capability of rapidly assessing surgical margins for breast cancer patients undergoing breast conserving therapy.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Two potential benefits from developing this technology are:

  2. 1. Decreasing operative times by eliminating the need to wait for histologic margin assessment.

  3. 2 Intraoperative margin assessment will become available for surgeons performing breast conserving therapy in facilities in-house pathologists.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse spectroscopy in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The goal of this research is to develop a minimally invasive technology with the capability of rapidly assessing surgical margins for breast cancer patients undergoing breast conserving therapy.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2016.
