  • Ages Any age
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Males per Investigator assessment appropriate for transperineal prostate biopsy

  • Patient has compromised immune system, in the opinion of the Investigator
  • Active inflammatory bowel disease within the last 6 months
  • Any condition, or history of illness or surgery that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risks to the patient (e.g.
  • significant cardiovascular conditions or allergies)
  • Patient is not likely to comply with the protocol or follow up evaluation
  • Patient is participating in a clinical trial of another investigational drug or device that may impact participation in this clinical study

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multi-Center Study of the ClariCore Optical Biopsy System in Patients Undergoing Transperineal Prostate Biopsy for Prostate Tissue Classification Algorithm Development

The overall objective of this study is to acquire ultrasound images, spectral data and prostate tissue biopsy cores using the ClariCore System via a transperineal approach.

Read the detailed description

The overall objective of this study is to acquire ultrasound images, spectral data and prostate tissue biopsy cores using the ClariCore System via a transperineal approach. Ultrasound images corresponding to each needle insertion and T2-weighted MR scans will be saved for the purpose of further algorithm development that will provide physicians with real time tissue classification in conjunction with location information from the ultrasound imaging.

What participants receive

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

  • ClariCore SystemDevice

    The user will perform a standard trans-perineal biopsy and collect a number of biopsy cores as per standard practice.

Study groups in NCT03734575
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ClariCore SystemExperimentalBiopsy tissue, correlative spectral data, T2-weighted MR scans and ultrasound images acquired with the ClariCore System will be collected and recorded during standard practice transperineal biopsy.
Receives: Device: ClariCore System

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of histopathology of tissue with ultrasound images and spectral data

    The correlation of histopathology of tissue biopsy core samples with the corresponding spectral data and ultrasound images obtained in vivo for the purpose of tissue classification algorithm development using a transperineal approach.

    Measured: At time of procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (Safety)

    The cumulative incidence of adverse events related to the device or the procedure. The cumulative incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) related to the device or the procedure.

    Measured: At time of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ClariCore System in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Precision Biopsy, Inc. at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 16 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 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 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?

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?

Correlation of histopathology of tissue with ultrasound images and spectral data (time frame: At time of procedure). 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 11 Jul 2019.
