About this study

Official title: Forward Image Guided Ductoscopy for Early Cancer Screening

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as optical coherence tomography, may be effective in finding tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying optical coherence tomography in tissue samples from women undergoing mastectomy for the treatment or prevention of breast ductal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To design and construct a portable forward imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) needle probe.
  • To compare OCT imaging of ex-vivo breast tumor tissue sections with histology to form the basis of an image library for in-vivo work.
  • To initiate development of an OCT needle probe that is capable of acquiring core biopsy samples.

OUTLINE: Breast tissue samples are obtained during mastectomy and analyzed ex-vivo by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and by histopathological examination. Once routine pathological evaluation and tissue sampling are completed, OCT imaging is performed using a portable forward imaging needle probe that is inserted through the ducts of the tissue sample. OCT images of the surface of the closest margin to the tumor (if present) as well as images of the duct(s) in the nipple areola complex (after dilation) are obtained. Images of a cross section of the tumor (after the sample has been sliced by the pathologist) are also obtained. The OCT images are then correlated with tissue histology. The images are used to create a correlation histology-OCT atlas for the evaluation of subsequent images and for future reference.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing histopathologic examination and optical coherence tomography in people with Precancerous Condition, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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?

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 May 2010. 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?

Design of a portable forward imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) needle probe. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 May 2010.
