About this study

Visualize surgical needles inserted in the prostate, under the ultrasound modality.

Read the detailed description

In order to help the surgeon to remove the prostate during a laparoscopic intervention, our goal is to provide an innovative medical device that merges intra-operative ultrasound and endoscopic images.

We have already achieved the proof of concept of a device that merges ultrasound and endoscopic images. The objectives of this clinical trial are to accompany the maturation of the fusion device and to make the initial assessments of its Medical Service.

The main difficulty is to visualize markers (surgical needles) under both modalities , in order to merge them.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of surgical needles visible under the ultrasound modality (once inserted in the prostate)

    Measured: 1year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percent of data(ultrasound and endoscopic) on which the merging works

    Measured: 1year

  2. Percent of accurate merging

    the merging is accurate if its error is under 5mm

    Measured: 1year

  3. Percent of mistaken segmentation of the vesical neck in the endoscopic image

    The segmentation in the endoscopic image is mistaken if it differs of more than 5mm² from the segmentation in the ultrasound volume

    Measured: 1year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Software for acquiring ultrasound and endoscopic images in people with Prostate Cancer, run by AdministrateurCIC at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2016. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: due to a problem of device). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percent of surgical needles visible under the ultrasound modality (once inserted in the prostate) (time frame: 1year). 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 18 Oct 2016.
