About this study

Official title: Multimode Laser Optoacoustic Ultrasonic Tomography System for Breast Cancer Care

This clinical trial studies laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly in finding changes in tumors in patients with breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly, may help find and diagnose breast cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To successfully obtain images from laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly (LOUISA) 3-dimensional (3D) and assess pathology in order to guide image calibration and gain knowledge about LOUISA 3D capabilities to detect and differentiate breast tumors.

II. Estimate and compare the false positive rate of LOUISA-3D compared to standard of care ultrasound for detecting breast cancer in year 5 of the study.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine optimal scanning parameters by assessing certain machine parameters (e.g. illumination and detection conditions, laser pulse repetition rate, laser ultrasound emission characteristics, type of imaging probe, two-dimensional images vs three-dimensional images, coupling medium characteristics, software and firmware, etc.), anatomical information (speed of sound image, acoustic attenuation image, acoustic scattering image), and functional information (total hemoglobin distribution [THb]/image of angiogenesis density, image of blood oxygen saturation [SO2], and image of water distribution).

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo LOUISA 3D over approximately 30 minutes on the same day or within 7 days of any breast imaging procedure and within 7 days before biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of images successfully obtained from laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly (LOUISA) 3-dimensional (3D)

    Pathology will provide useful information including but not limited to type of malignancy, tissue type, and other qualitative information that is necessary for image calibration.

    Measured: Within 7 days of the standard of care ultrasound

  2. False positive rate of LOUISA 3D and standard of care ultrasound

    McNemar's test will be used to compare paired proportions and relative false positive rates.

    Measured: Within 7 days of the standard of care ultrasound

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Photoacoustic Imaging in people with Breast Neoplasm and Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 29 Jun 2021. 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 was stopped early (reason given: due to lack of funding). 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?

Number of images successfully obtained from laser optoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system assembly (LOUISA) 3-dimensional (3D) (time frame: Within 7 days of the standard of care ultrasound). 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 29 Jun 2021.
