About this study

This multi-center, prospective, open label study analyzed specimens from fifty subjects at two study sites. Patients scheduled to undergo breast-conserving surgery were recruited in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study period per subject was the time it took to assess the ex vivo breast tissue sample using the study device. Image review was conducted after surgery and compared to the margin status findings in the post-operative pathology report.

What participants receive

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

  • Optical coherence tomographyDevice

    Optical coherence tomography was used to image ex vivo breast tissue specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patients With All Positive Margins Correctly Identified With the Device

    In this study, a patient had "positive margins" if tumor was identified at the true margin (i.e., the final margin or new margin) surface of at least one specimen by histology (0 mm, "tumor on ink").

    Measured: one week after surgery

  2. Number of Margins With False Positive Device Readings

    Measured: one week after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Diagnostic Photonics, Inc. at 2 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 6 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Dec 2014). 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?

Patients With All Positive Margins Correctly Identified With the Device (time frame: one week after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Jan 2015.
