Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate detection of skin disorders and cancers for future clinical diagnosis and surgical use. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Dermatology clinic

Who may be able to join

  • Patients undergoing shave-biopsy on an anatomical site that is readily accessible to the VivaScope 1500 (for example, chest, back, legs, arms, cheek, forehead).
  • The additional 110 patients for this amendment will be imaged with the newly developed Vivascope 3000 handheld confocal microscope.
  • Ability to sign informed consent.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.

Who cannot join

  • Shave-biopsy located on a site that is not amenable to confocal imaging (for example, adjacent to the nose, ears or eyes, fingers, toes).
  • Inability to give informed consent.
  • Known hypersensitivity to adhesive rings.
  • Inability to tolerate imaging procedure (i. e., remain relatively still for multiple short durations of 3-4 minutes).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • confocal microscopy in vivoProcedure or surgery

    A dermatologist will perform a shave biopsy according to standard clinical procedures. This study will be carried out after the shave biopsy. The deep surface and the peripheral margins will be imaged on each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. is to evaluate and quantify the technical feasibility of reflectance CSLM imaging of shave-biopsy sites on skin in vivo.

    Measured: conclusion of study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the quality of the CSLM images of the biopsy sites to determine a point estimate of the proportion of images that will be of acceptable quality for formal analysis in the planned study of intraoperative margin detection.

    Measured: conclusion of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 4 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 27 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

is to evaluate and quantify the technical feasibility of reflectance CSLM imaging of shave-biopsy sites on skin in vivo. (time frame: conclusion of study). 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 27 Feb 2018.
