About this study

The purpose of this pilot study is to develop the methodology for an innovative subsurface imaging technology that was designed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It will allow the non-invasive analysis and imaging of tissues and chemical distributions in the body at an imaging depth of up to 1 centimeter with spatial resolution on the order of 1 mm.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot, feasibility study to determine if the subsurface imaging technology warrants advancement to a larger clinical trial.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Patients undergoing a surgical bladder procedure in the main O.R.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of the subsurface laser to determine cancer cells versus normal cells when viewed endoscopically during a surgical procedure.

    Does the subsurface laser allow enough light to visually assess the cells. Logical metric of either "Yes" or "No".

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by University of California, Davis.

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 1 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 13 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of the subsurface laser to determine cancer cells versus normal cells when viewed endoscopically during a surgical procedure. (time frame: 1 year). 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 13 Mar 2013.
