Trial summary

This clinical trial studies how well optical coherence tomography works in staging patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinomas. Staging describes the severity of a person's cancer based on the size and/or extent (reach) of the original (primary) tumor and whether or not cancer has spread in the body.

About this study

Official title: Staging of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer With Optical Coherence Tomography

This clinical trial studies how well optical coherence tomography works in staging patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinomas. Staging describes the severity of a person's cancer based on the size and/or extent (reach) of the original (primary) tumor and whether or not cancer has spread in the body. It also helps the doctor plan the appropriate treatment. Optical coherence tomography is a procedure that uses infrared light waves to give three-dimensional pictures of structures inside tissues and organs. The pictures are made by a computer linked to the light source. Optical coherence tomography may be effective in staging patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinomas.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test the feasibility and imaging ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to stage upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC).

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo optical coherence tomography over 10-15 minutes.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in staging upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC)

    Feasibility defined as the ability to relate the features associated with cancerous tissues in pathohistological analysis to the features in OCT images

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Imaging Analysis

    Number of cancerous images with at least one feature different from normal pathology slide

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing optical coherence tomography in people with Kidney/Urinary Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2016. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in staging upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC) (time frame: Up to 3 months). 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 20 Oct 2016.
