Who may be able to join

  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2

  • Subject or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure
  • Serum Creatinine <= 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR measured or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min for participant with creatinine levels > 1.5 X institutional ULN (using Cockcroft-Gault Equation), GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl.

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

  • Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the subject an unsuitable candidate to undergo observational study (may also include preoperative testing results including electrocardiography (EKG), chest x-ray, or pulmonary function tests that preclude a wide excision in the operating room)

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Feasibility of Performing Intravital Microscopy in Patients With Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well intravital microscopy works in evaluating patients with primary peritoneal, fallopian tube, or stage IA-IV ovarian cancer. Intravital microscopic evaluation of tumor blood vessels, blood flow, immune cell interactions, and drug uptake may be eventually visualized and may lead to valuable prognostic information.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the feasibility of performing intravital microscopy on accessible human ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers during their standard course of treatment (i.e., surgical debulking).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the blood flow velocity of the tumor vessels and tissue penetration of fluorescein as a marker of tumor vessel permeability.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fluorescein sodium injection intravenously (IV). Patients also undergo observation of primary and metastatic tumors via microscopy over 15-20 minutes during the course of standard of care surgery.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days, at 1-3 weeks, and then up to 2 years.

Being tested
Diagnostic Microscopy, Fluorescein Sodium Injection, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Medical subject headings
Fallopian Tube Neoplasms, Ovarian Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluorescein within the tumor vessels

    Will visualize fluorescein within the tumor vessels.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Identification of tumor vessels

    Will identify tumor vessels.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Tumor vessel diameter

    Will measure tumor vessel diameters.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Vessel density

    Will determine vessel density per 10 x field.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Blood flow velocity of the tumor vessels

    Will assess the ability to measure the blood flow velocity of the tumor vessels.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Tissue penetration of fluorescein

    Will measure tissue penetration of fluorescein as a marker of tumor vessel permeability.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Diagnostic Microscopy, Fluorescein Sodium Injection and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Fallopian Tube Carcinoma and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 Oct 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Fluorescein within the tumor vessels (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Oct 2021.
