About this study

Official title: Essais Clinique Pour Une Endomicroscopie Robotisée Dans la redéfinition Des Stratégies d'ExérèsE (PERSÉE) appliquée à la Chirurgie de la Prostate

This multicenter study aimed at assessing the feasibility of Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) during Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy or Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for intra-operative characterisation of surgical margins.

Read the detailed description

Prostate cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancer in men. Several treatments are available depending on patient's clinical features. When the cancer is localised or locally advanced, one of the possible treatment is Radical Prostatectomy. A risk of that procedure is the incomplete removal of cancer tissues due to the presence of cancer cells within the resection margin. A histological analysis of the resected prostate allows to assess surgical margins. If cancer cells comes out to the edges of the removed tissue, it is called Positive Surgical Margin (PSM). Several studies showed that PSMs are more frequent in case of extra-prostatic extensions of the cancer and are correlated with biochemical recurrence.

A study conducted on 21 patients scheduled for Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy has already demonstrated the feasibility of the intra-operative observation of microscopic features of prostatic and periprostatic tissues in vivo and ex vivo with the Cellvizio® 100 Series system combined with the CelioFlex™ probe.

The main objective of the study is to assess the feasibility and safety of pCLE technology during radical prostatectomy (RP) and to assess the diagnostic performance of pCLE technology for the definition of the resection margins.

This method could be used to guide surgeons during nerve sparing surgery and provide real-time feedback for adequate dissection of NVB. As well, ex vivo characterisation of benign and cancerous glandular structures could provide an efficient and rapid method for intra-operative surgical margin assessment

The study is divided in 2 parts:

  1. Ex vivo study An ex vivo study will be carried out on 15 firsts prostate specimens for pathologist training and generation of ex vivo pCLE images atlas.
  2. In vivo study

Prior to pCLE analysis, a contrast agent (Fluorescein) will be administered:

  • by intravenous injection in each prostatic pedicles before their ligation
  • topically, after NVB dissection, in a spray solution through a catheter inserted in an assistant trocar or with a soaked gauze.

The Cellvizio will be used during the NVB dissection to acquire in vivo images and sequences of prostatic tissues.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Confocal Laser EndomicroscopyDevice

    Also called probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy, CelioFlex probe, Cellvizio 100 series, pCLE

    The study is divided in 2 parts.

    1. Ex vivo study
    • Prostate specimens will be stained using Fluorescein
    • Images/sequences of normal and abnormal prostatic tissues, and peri-prostatic tissues will be acquired.
    1. In vivo study
    • Intravenous injection of contrast agent
    • pCLE imaging every 5mm of the NVB dissection zone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Mauna Kea Technologies at 2 sites in France.

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 4 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 28 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 2 sites in France. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pCLE criteria (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 Jan 2019.
