About this study

Optimal management of patients with locally advanced breast cancer remains a complex therapeutic problem. Newly diagnosed breast cancers in the United States with a higher incidence in medically underserved areas. The optimal intensity and duration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy still remains controversial due to the difficulty of evaluating response to therapy. The goal would be to prevent over and under treatment of patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The Researcher developed a diagnostic device called Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging is a non-invasive optical technique that utilizes intensity-modulated, near-infrared light to quantitatively measure optical properties in thick tissues.

Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging can images tissue hemoglobin , oxygen saturation, blood volume fraction, water content, fat content and cellular structure. The measurements provide quantitative optical property values that reflect changes in tissue perfusion, oxygen consumption, and cell/matrix development.

There is no therapeutic benefit to the subject, especially none that might influence the indication for the diagnostic procedure as indicated. However, information obtained may lead to a new form of non-invasive imaging for the early detection of breast cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of California, Irvine at 2 sites 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 2 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 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Diagnostic tool (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 1 Nov 2022.
