About this study

Intraoperative ex-vivo use of the ClearEdge Imaging Device in Breast Conserving Surgery to image the excised tissue surgical margins. The study is designed to demonstrate reduction in the need for repeat surgeries after breast conserving surgeries by using the ClearEdge as an adjunct imaging device to the standard of care.

Read the detailed description

Intraoperative real-time margin assessment of breast conserving surgeries can reduce the need for repeat operations due to cancer involved margins. Repeat operations result in excessive removal of benign tissue, increased risk for infection, slower healing and inferior cosmetic results. In the current standard of care, the status of the margins is determined by pathology only several days after surgery. An intraoperative assessment of the margins enables complete tumor excision in a single surgery.

The proposed randomized controlled study will evaluate the benefits of adding the ClearEdge imaging device to the Standard of Care (SoC) of margins assessment in breast conserving surgeries. The study will assess whether there is an improvement in the detection of cancer involved margins by measuring whether removal at the time of primary surgical treatment can reduce the need for repeat surgeries as compared to the SoC, which does not use the device.

ClearEdge is a CE marked device already been used in several hospitals in the UK. It was used in a prospective single arm and 2 phases clinical study. It was demonstrated that surgeons successfully used the device to identify cancer involved margins and that it can reduce the need for repeat surgeries by meeting the margins depth criteria to require repeat operations. European Journal of Oncology Surgery. 2016; 42 (12): 1834-1840. In addition, the device was clinically evaluated by several hospitals.

  • Testing a new device (LS BioPath TOUCH) on excised tissueDevice

    Measurements are obtained with test device on excised tissue.

Study groups in NCT01209182
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Device image readingExperimentalTissue images generated by the device are read by surgeons to determine if the tissue area under test has abnormal component or not. When Images generated by the device are read by surgeons as abnormal an additional margin of tissue is removed. The new margin is also imaged by the device to ensure complete tumor excision.

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

  1. •Accuracy of LS BioPath TOUCH device compared to pathology

    Assess percentage of FP and FN of test device results compared to pathology results

    Measured: 1 week after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Testing a new device (LS BioPath TOUCH) on excised tissue in people with Breast Cancer Female, run by LS BioPath 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 3 Oct 2022. 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?

•Accuracy of LS BioPath TOUCH device compared to pathology (time frame: 1 week after surgery). 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 3 Oct 2022.
