About this study

Official title: Open Label Clinical Study to Demonstrate the Utility of Intra-operative Perfusion Assessment Using NIR Fluorescence Angiography With the PINPOINT® Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System and to Assess the Impact of PINPOINT on the Surgical Decision Making Process and on Surgical Outcomes in Laparoscopic Left Anterior Resection Procedures

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that NIR fluorescence angiography using the PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System ("PINPOINT System" or "PINPOINT") can assess viability of colon tissue during laparoscopic left colectomy. This information will provide the surgeon with clinically relevant information in assessing whether or not the tissue has adequate blood supply in the lower section of the colon prior to a colectomy.

Read the detailed description

Colectomy is a surgical procedure in which a part or all of the colon is removed. It is used to treat a variety of diseases including colon cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) and infarcted bowel.

This study is the second phase of a three phase process to demonstrate the clinical utility of perfusion assessment by NIR fluorescence angiography in colectomy. The initial phase (Phase I) consisted of a number of small investigative studies that have now been completed. Upon successful completion of this study, it is anticipated that a prospective, multi center, randomized trial will be conducted (Phase III). Information learned from this present study will help guide the design of the randomized trial e.g. specific patient populations that may best benefit from this imaging modality and how randomization should be conducted (e.g. imaged cohort vs. non imaged, or all subjects imaged but then randomized to no image assessment in one arm of the study).

What participants receive

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

  • PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging SystemDevice

    The PINPOINT system will be used to provide real-time endoscopic visible and endoscopic NIR fluorescence imaging. PINPOINT enables surgeons to perform routine visible light endoscopic procedures as well as further visually assess vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion with near infra-red imaging during minimally invasive surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. PINPOINT System Utility in Left Colectomy Surgery

    To demonstrate the utility of intra-operative assessment of colon perfusion, using the PINPOINT System to optimize the location at which to transect the colon in laparoscopic left colectomies and to assess mucosal perfusion of the completed anastomosis following proximal anastomosis in laparoscopic left colectomy.

    Measured: Day of Operation - Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety of the PINPOINT System

    To assess safety related outcomes of the laparoscopic left colectomies with intra-operative assessment of perfusion using the PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System for guidance.

    Measured: Through hospital discharge or at 30 days post procedure, whichever is later

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System in people with Rectal Cancer and Colon Cancer, run by Novadaq Technologies ULC, now a part of Stryker at 11 sites 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 11 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

PINPOINT System Utility in Left Colectomy Surgery (time frame: Day of Operation - Day 1). 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 11 Dec 2018.
