About this study

Official title: Monocentric, Prospective Interventional Study to Assess the Degree of Disease Activity With a Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) Handheld Scanner in Patients With Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis

Monocentric, prospective interventional study to assess the degree of disease activity with a multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) handheld scanner in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is designed as a pilot study to evaluate the usefulness of MSOT for the evaluation of disease activity in IBD patients. As current methods for the evaluation of intestinal inflammation in IBD have relevant restrictions, new, non-invasive, quantitative, and accurate modalities are urgently needed. In comparison to other techniques, MSOT provides relevant advantages such as non-invasive imaging, high spatial resolution (this is of special importance for the evaluation of the intestine, which can be only a few millimeters thick), and highly sensitive detection of specific molecules such as total hemoglobin or oxy- /deoxygenated hemoglobin. These advantages suggest MSOT as an outstanding technique for evaluating disease activity in IBD.

The proposed study incorporates nearly no risk for participating patients and might provide relevant data for more a more in depth analysis of MSOT for IBD diagnosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in people with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, run by University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Correlation of MSOT-data with clinical activity scores of IBD (time frame: 12 month). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02622139, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 6 Dec 2019.
