Trial summary

The current limitations in prostate cancer diagnostics lead to over- and undertreatment for a significant fraction of patients. Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) are focal imaging modalities with potential for in-vivo prostate imaging. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: In-vivo Focal Prostate Imaging With Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography

The current limitations in prostate cancer diagnostics lead to over- and undertreatment for a significant fraction of patients. Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) are focal imaging modalities with potential for in-vivo prostate imaging. The investigators anticipate that integrating focal imaging with MRI/TRUS fusion will further improve prostate cancer detection and provides a real-time histopathological threedimensional representation of the tumor lesions.

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective in-vivo safety and feasibility study with transperineal template mapping biopsies (TTMB) and two focal imaging methods, CLE and OCT, in prostate tissue.

Read the detailed description

Study design:

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective in-vivo safety and feasibility study with two procedures.

Procedure 1 (AMC):

Patients that are indicated for transperineal template mapping biopsies (TTMB) are included for procedure 1 and will receive transperineal CLE or OCT measurements prior to TTMB. Procedure 1 is to test the technical feasibility and safety of in-vivo focal imaging with CLE and OCT. Only if transperineal CLE or OCT measurements are possible, the investigators proceed with procedure 2.

For procedure 1: 4 patients that are scheduled for TTMB; 2 patients for CLE and 2 patients for OCT.

Procedure 2 (VUmc):

Patients scheduled for a robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) will be included in procedure 2 and receive transperineal CLE or OCT measurements prior to their surgery. Results will be correlated with histology by correlating biopsies during the TTMB procedure or with RALP the measurement trajectory will be marked. After the RALP, the prostate will be cut exactly through the measurement trajectory for whole mount coupes. In high-risk of high-intermediate-risk patients receiving an extended pelvic lymph node dissection with the RALP, ex-vivo CLE measurements will be performed.

For procedure 2: 10 patients that are scheduled for RALP; 5 patients for CLE and 5 patients for OCT. Intervention: Transperineal CLE or OCT measurements will be performed directly prior to the TTMB or RALP. The CLE and OCT probes are inserted by a needle with the same diameter as a biopsy gun. In the case of RALP, measurement trajectories will be marked for histopathology correlation.

Intervention:

Transperineal CLE or OCT measurements will be performed directly prior to the TTMB or RALP. The CLE and OCT probes are inserted by a needle with the same diameter as a biopsy gun. In the case of RALP, measurement trajectories will be marked for histopathology correlation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual image criteria for CLE and quantitative parameters (attenuation coefficient and residue) of OCT for the characterization of the prostate tissue

    • Describing visual characteristics on CLE imaging
    • Attenuation coefficient on OCT imaging calculated with our in-house build software
    • Residue of the OCT imaging calculated with our in-house build software

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Technical feasibility of CLE and OCT imaging in the prostate by a transperineal approach

    • Tissue visualization is not blocked by blood on CLE and OCT imaging
    • OCT image quality determination by visibility in depth

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Safety of CLE and OCT imaging in the prostate

    Procedure-related adverse events of needle based CLE and OCT

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 9 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 18 Jan 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 Netherlands. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual image criteria for CLE and quantitative parameters (attenuation coefficient and residue) of OCT for the characterization of the prostate tissue (time frame: 2 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 18 Jan 2019.
