About this study
Official title: Diffuse Optical Tomography in Prostate Cancer Detection and Risk Stratification A Pilot Study
This study is looking to see if a new device, diffuse optical tomography (DOT), can detect prostate cancer. The investigators will also see if DOT can tell the difference between high risk and low risk prostate cancers.
Read the detailed description
While some of these tools have helped to guide therapy in patients with prostate cancer, they are imperfect and as a result many men undergo unnecessary treatment for a disease that would not have caused their deaths. An improved method to risk stratify men with prostate cancer prior to definitive therapy may reduce the over-treatment rate, while maintaining or improving mortality.
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a novel imaging modality that uses low-intensity, near-infrared light to characterize tissue. DOT analyzes the light being reflected and transmitted through tissue to generate three-dimensional images of chromophores and light scattering. As such, DOT serves as a functional imaging modality, measuring both tissue vascularity and architecture. The investigators believe that DOT will be able to detect prostate cancer in men suspected of the disease and will also be able to risk-stratify patients found to have prostate cancer to help guide treatment options. DOT may be able to directly measure two factors important in the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer: the Gleason score and microvessel density (MVD).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) SystemDevice
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a novel imaging modality that uses low-intensity, near-infrared light to characterize tissue. As light of a specific wavelength travels through tissue, it is absorbed and scattered by different chromophores and cellular structures. Using four wavelengths of light allows the detection of four chromophores: oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, water and fat.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Men diagnosed with prostate cancer | Other | This group will include men over the age of 18 suspected of having prostate cancer who will undergo an ultrasound guided transrectal prostate biopsy. Each study participant will undergo a standard prostate biopsy and DOT imaging using the Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) System will be performed at the same time. Receives: Device: Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) System |
| Men without prostate cancer | Other | This group will include men who do not have prostate cancer. Each study participant will undergo a standard prostate biopsy and DOT imaging using the Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) System will be performed at the same time. Receives: Device: Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total number of subjects who are imaged using DOT and produce usable images
Total number of subjects who produce usable images will be measured to assess feasibility of concurrent transrectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsy/DOT imaging, which is defined as successfully imaging and generating usable DOT data in 60% of subjects.
Measured: Up to 3 years

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 2 Aug 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?
Total number of subjects who are imaged using DOT and produce usable images (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 2 Aug 2018.
