About this study

Official title: In Vivo Molecular Imaging of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Patients With Colorectal Neoplasia Using Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy

The study aims to:

  1. Achieve molecular imaging of EGFR in patients with colorectal neoplasia in vivo using confocal laser endomicroscopy.
  2. Compare the results of in vivo EGFR-specific molecular imaging with CLE and ex vivo immunohistochemistry .
Read the detailed description

Various kinds of tumor markers have been shown to be over-expressed in colorectal cancer, including epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR). The conventional detection method of EGFR expression in colorectal neoplasia is immunohistochemistry which is time-consuming, and the immunoreactivity can be affected by storage and fixation of tissues. Confocal laser endomicrosopy is a newly developed device which could identify the cellular and subcellular structures clearly with the magnification at×1000, making it possible to explore the physiological and pathological molecular mechanism of the gastrointestinal tract. So the study aims to achieve molecular imaging of EGFR in colorectal neoplasia in vivo using confocal laser endomicroscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Colorectal Adenoma, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 1 Feb 2012. 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 China. 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.

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 1 Feb 2012.
