About this study

Official title: Non Invasive Optical Imaging of Capillaries Through the Nailfold for White Blood Cell Enumeration in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

This research study is looking at a small device that measures white blood cell (WBC) counts by being placed against the finger nail for participants who are undergoing stem cell transplantation at Massachusetts General Hospital or have a hematologic malignancy and are being seen as an outpatient.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to obtain data that would support the use of a method to obtain WBC counts from images of small blood vessels called capillaries. These would be obtained by pressing a small device on the surface of participants' finger nails to look through the nail. These images will be obtained using a portable microscope called the Dino-Lite Digital Microscope.

Having a non-invasive way to quickly measure WBC counts could be useful for a variety of healthcare applications.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-Invasive ImagingExperimentalCommercial portable optical microscope (AM4113-N5UT Dino-Lite ) which will be employed during the study for a pre determined time of non-invasive imaging of the nailfold capillaries in ASCT patients. For Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) participants, the imaging will be performed once prior to ASCT upon admission to the hospital, and then daily after ASCT (starting on day +7) until count recovery
Receives: Device: AM4113-N5UT Dino-Lite

What is being measured

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

  1. Video of nail-fold imaging captured by capillaroscope

    Image acquisition from device to then analyze and compare with complete blood counts measured in a standard fashion

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AM4113-N5UT Dino-Lite in people with Hematologic Malignancy, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 11 Jun 2018. 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 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?

Video of nail-fold imaging captured by capillaroscope (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 11 Jun 2018.
