About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multi-Center Study of the ClariCore Optical Biopsy System in Patients Undergoing TRUS-Guided Prostrate Biopsy With or Without MR Fusion For Prostrate Tissue Classification Algorithm Development

The purpose of the study is to collect information on prostrate biopsy tissue for use in developing a method determining the difference in normal and cancerous prostrate tissue using the ClariCore System.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to collect information on prostrate tissue biopsies using the ClariCore System. The ClariCore system is designed to improve how the tissue samples are being collected from the prostrate by using light sensors (fiber optics) that can see changes in the tissue. Researchers will study the data collected from the light sensor (optical readings) to develop a method (like a mathematical equation) that can be used to tell the difference between normal and cancerous prostrate tissue during the biopsy. What the researchers are hoping to learn from this study is if a light guided biopsy procedure can improve the accuracy of prostrate biopsy sampling.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Effectiveness

    Correlate histopathology of tissue biopsy core samples with corresponding spectral data obtained in vivo for algorithm training at time of procedure.

    Measured: Ath the time of procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assessment of Pain

    Pain shall be reported based on the patient-reported level of pain during the ClariCore System procedure and at 7 and 30 days post-procedure as measured on a 10 point numerical rating scale (NRS).

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-procedure

  2. Incidence and frequency of adverse events

    The secondary safety endpoint is the incidence and frequency of all Adverse Event's (both related and unrelated to the ClariCore System) reported during the study.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ClariCore System in people with Cellular Diagnosis, Prostate Cancer, run by Precision Biopsy, Inc. at 5 sites 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 3 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Primary Effectiveness (time frame: Ath the time of procedure). 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 15 Feb 2019.
