Trial summary

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a clinical-trial-ready device and to evaluate its practical utility as a routinely used intra-operative tool. Our multidisciplinary group has previously shown that optical techniques can effectively discriminate between malignant and non-malignant breast tissues. 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 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: There are 2 groups of patients and each group contains 20 participants.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients undergoing a partial mastectomy or mastectomy for the treatment of an invasive or non-invasive breast malignancy
  • Age > 18
  • Clinically detectable disease either by physical examination or radiographic studies
  • Patients of all ethnic and gender groups will be included. Protocol accrual will be reviewed annually to include a determination of minority and gender representation. If accrual demonstrates under representation of any group with comparison to disease incidence in that group, appropriate measures will be undertaken to increase participation of patients of that minority or gender group.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Who cannot join

  • Patients considered in "vulnerable" populations

About this study

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a clinical-trial-ready device and to evaluate its practical utility as a routinely used intra-operative tool. Our multidisciplinary group has previously shown that optical techniques can effectively discriminate between malignant and non-malignant breast tissues. The proposed technology will be a multi-channel optical assay device for intra-operative imaging of margins in specimens excised from patients undergoing breast conserving surgery (partial mastectomy) or mastectomy.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01107080
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Degradation30 mastectomy, partial mastectomy, and mammoplasty samples will be analyzed to define the effective post-excision time window in which the device must be used before the results can no longer be evaluated. The mammoplasty specimens are necessary to assess normal tissue outcomes.
Reproducibility25 Partial Mastectomy cases will be analyzed to distinguish between different implementation methods of the technology.

What is being measured

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

  1. To perform a critical evaluation of the device in a practical clinical setting

    (1) In order to define the effective post-excision time window in which the device must be used, which ultimately has bearings on the final product indications for use. (2)To analyze the different methods of implementation of the technology.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Duke University 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 5 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 7 Feb 2013. 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?

To perform a critical evaluation of the device in a practical clinical setting (time frame: 2 years). 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 7 Feb 2013.
