Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether narrowband imaging (NBI) makes it easier for a surgeon to see cancer. NBI is a kind of light. Normally, white light is used during surgery. White light uses many wavelengths of light. NBI only uses two wavelengths which highlight the blood vessels. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether narrowband imaging (NBI) makes it easier for a surgeon to see cancer.

NBI is a kind of light. Normally, white light is used during surgery. White light uses many wavelengths of light. NBI only uses two wavelengths which highlight the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the surgeon to see blood vessels. Tumors often have more blood vessels than normal tissue. As a result, NBI may make it easier for the surgeon to see small tumors.

In this study the surgeon will look with both normal white light and NBI. This way a comparison can be made to determine which is superior.

Improved identification of tumors allows doctors and patients to make informed decisions about whether treatment is needed after surgery. It also provides additional information to determine which treatments may be best.

What participants receive

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

  • Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)Other

    The intervention is visual assessment of the peritoneal or pleural surface with NBI followed by biopsy and photographic documentation of any abnormal lesions. Photograph or video of abnormality(ies) under white light and NBI.

Study groups in NCT01262040
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
pts having a thorascopic, laparoscopic or robotic procedureExperimentalThe procedure will begin with washings (peritoneal) and two assessments of the extent of peritoneal disease. First, a four quadrant inspection of the peritoneal cavity under white light, this is the standard of care assessment. Then, a repeat four quadrant inspection of the peritoneal cavity under NBI will be done, this is the only experimental component of the design. White light imaging will always be done first, followed by NBI. For those patients scheduled for thorascopic procedures: The procedure will begin with sampling of pleural effusions when clinically indicated. Then there will be two assessments of the pleural surfaces. First, an inspection of the pleural cavity under white light, this is the standard of care assessment. Then, a repeat inspection under NBI, this is the only experimental component of the design. White light imaging will always be done first, followed by NBI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the feasibility of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) at the time of thorascopic, laparoscopic or robotic surgery.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine what percentage of patients have surface metastasis identified with NBI that were not seen on white light imaging.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) in people with Endometrial Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer 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?

The sponsor lists 17 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 Nov 2018. 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?

Determine the feasibility of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) at the time of thorascopic, laparoscopic or robotic surgery. (time frame: 1 year). 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 Nov 2018.
