About this study

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

This study aims at assessing the feasibility of Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) during laparoscopic hepatic masses resection for intra-operative characterisation of hepatic masses and surgical margins assessment.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer deaths in the Western countries. In France, 45.000 new patients develop colorectal cancer every year. The liver is the most common organ targeted by CRLM, representing 50%. Approximately, 15-25% of colorectal cancer patients have synchronous CRLM at initial workup, and 20-30% patients sustain subsequent liver metastases within few years following diagnosis.

The strategy for colorectal cancer liver metastasis resection and liver cancer has evolved to a parenchymatic sparing procedure. This technic aims to minimize surgical margins width while removing the tumor. Therefore, the current standard for resection margins is a margin width superior to 1mm. However, there is still a debate concerning the margin width. Indeed, with modern chemotherapy, several studies reported no statistical differences in the overall survival between R0 patients and R1 patients treated with chemotherapy. However, in order to preserve patients from chemotherapy treatments' adverse effects an intra-operative microscopic assessment of surgical margins should be set up in order to reduce R1 margins occurrence.

Ex vivo study:

Surgical specimens obtained during hepatectomy will be imaged to generate an atlas of pCLE images.

In vivo study:

Intraoperative characterization of sub-capsular hepatic masses and surgical margins will be assessed.

Being tested
Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

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 UHD 5 probe, Viziobot-P, GastroFlex UHD probe

    The study is divided in two parts. For the two parts, patients will receive an intravenous injection of indocyanine green:

    1. Ex vivo study
    • Images/sequences of normal and abnormal hepatic tissues and surgical margins will be acquired on surgical specimens
    1. In vivo study - Intra-operative pCLE imaging will be performed on hepatic masses and surgical margins

What is being measured

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

  1. malignant pCLE criteria

    Definition of pCLE criteria for normal and malignant hepatic tissues

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. pathological pCLE criteria

    Definition of pCLE criteria for pathological hepatic parenchyma (non tumoral)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Ease of use of the endomicroscopy device

    The ease of use of the endomicroscopy device will be assessed using a questionnaire that the surgeon will fill at the end of each procedure

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Audio/video telecommunication quality

    The telecommunication quality will be assessed using a questionnaire that the surgeon and the anatomopathologist will fill at the end of each procedure

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Number of participants with CLE imaging-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    The device safety will be measured by assessing the occurence and severity of adverse events during the study

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Stability and reproducibility of images/sequences during procedures

    The stability and reproducibility of endomicroscopy images will be assessed using a questionnaire that the surgeon and the anatomopathologist will fill at the end of each procedure

    Measured: 1 year

  6. pCLE criteria diagnostic performance

    The diagnostic performance of identified pCLE criteria will be expressed by their sensitivities, specificities, negative predictive value and positive predictive value.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in people with Hepatocarcinoma and Hepatic Metastasis, run by Mauna Kea Technologies at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 24 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 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?

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?

malignant 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 24 Jan 2019.
