About this study

The diagnosis of cutaneous lesions often involves the use of surgical and invasive procedures such as biopsy or excision in order to analyze the structure and appearance of the fabric pathologists. With recent advances in optical and electronic fields, considerable efforts were produced to build high-performance optical instruments, able to transcribe the internal structure of the skin with varying degrees of depth and variable resolution.

The imagery is now an area of great interest for medical diagnosis: non-invasive, quick, and in real time. This area is booming and new optical instruments are created to eventually be able to offer a reliable alternative to invasive techniques.

The optical properties of different tissues have been studied for several years by different research groups: the coefficient of light absorption by the tissue both in vivo and in vitro, the coefficient of light scattering or the index refractive were characterized in various tissues that make up the skin.

Other studies have focused on melanoma detection by multispectral optical techniques, or via the technique of optical coherence tomography (OCT) performed on lesions suspicious for cancer, but without linking criteria between these two techniques.

However, no study to date and to our knowledge has been able to demonstrate the different optical parameters obtained with OCT and can be directly connected to known and histopathological parameters commonly used in the diagnosis of lesions skin. This study aims to verify if it is possible to determine the parameters measured in OCT that would discriminate between benign and malignant lesions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) with Vivosight and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) with Skintell in people with Mixed Tumor, Malignant and Biopsy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne.

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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2019. 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?

composite endpoint (time frame: at baseline). 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 4 Apr 2019.
