About this study

Official title: Comparing of FFOCT Imaging for Pancreatic Tissue Sample Obtained by EUSFNB and Conventional Histological Examination

In most Asian medical centers, rapid on-site cytology evaluation is not available, the number of needle passes of EUS-FNA is decided by endoscopists. Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is a new optical imaging technique that could generate sectioning tomogram from fresh tissue and provide close-to-pathology depiction of the morphological structure and pathological changes in minutes without conventional tissue preparation, slicing, and staining, and dynamic cell imaging (DCI) added the viability information of cells/tissue, which could be more important in sample rapid evaluation.

Read the detailed description

Light-CT, a special-designed pathology-approximation system which is based on the lighting feature or dynamic feature of tissue and cells, is used to detect malignant cells or tissue in fresh specimens. Morphological structure and pathological changes could be captured in minutes, which implies a possible application in intraoperative diagnosis. The investigators aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of FFOCT for the tissue samples obtained from EUS-FNB of pancreas.

What participants receive

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

  • full-field optical coherence tomographyDevice

    Pancreatic tissue sample obtained by EUS-FNB will be used for FFOCT imaging. The Images will be sent to trained pathologists for diagnosis. The same tissue sample will be sent to the pathology department for routine histological examination. Compare the diagnoses made by the 2 different methods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of Light-CT

    The true positive rate measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified by Light-CT

    Measured: 1week after procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sensitivity of Light-CT

    The true negative rate measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified by Light-CT

    Measured: 1week after procedure

  2. The diagnostic efficacy of Light-CT for different pancreatic diseases

    Comparing the sensitivity and specificity of FFOCT in the diagnosis of different pancreatic diseases

    Measured: 1week after procedure

  3. coherence of FFOCT diagnoses by assistant and pathologist

    comparing the diagnostic coherence of FFOCT by trained assistant( endoscopist) and trained pathologist

    Measured: 1week after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Diseases, run by Changhai Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 6 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Wei Zhou, M.D. (+8618021009362, zhou_wei0012@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of Light-CT (time frame: 1week after 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 6 Nov 2019.
