Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to do a direct comparison of the CONVIVO system (camera imaging device) with our normal Stanford pathology process. CONVIVO system is being tested to see if the device creates the images very quickly by touching a special camera to the surgical wound. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the CONVIVO System for Discrimination of Normal Tissues From Abnormal Tissues During Brain Tumor Resection

The purpose of the study is to do a direct comparison of the CONVIVO system (camera imaging device) with our normal Stanford pathology process. CONVIVO system is being tested to see if the device creates the images very quickly by touching a special camera to the surgical wound.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of using the CONVIVO imaging system to identify tumor type.

Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to determine the average time needed for tissue visualization with the CONVIVO system as compared to standard cryosectioning, and to describe the ability of the CONVIVO imaging

-To describe the ability of the CONVIVO imaging system to generate readable images.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of using the CONVIVO imaging system to identify tumor tissue identified by the operating surgeon

    Feasibility is defined as a match between the pathologist determination of a mock diagnosis of type of tumor using CONVIVO images of the planned resection area and the pathologist's cryosection-derived diagnosis used in the course of surgery. This outcome will be expressed as a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Average time needed for tissue visualization with the CONVIVO system as compared to standard cryosectioning

    Time for tissue visualization with CONVIVO system: defined as the total number of minutes from start of imaging device use to mock diagnosis. This is calculated by summing the number of minutes from the start of imaging device use to the end of imaging device use in the operating room and the number of minutes from the neuropathologist's start of image review to arrival at a mock diagnosis.

    Time for standard cryosectioning: defined as the total number of minutes required for standard cryosectioning. This is calculated by summing the number of minutes from when the operating surgeon contacts the neuropathology department to request a frozen section analysis of tissue and ends when the neuropathology department calls the operating room with a suspected diagnosis, as measured by study personnel present in the operating room during the surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Ability of the CONVIVO system capture a readable image

    A readable image is defined as an image from which a neuropathologist can make a mock diagnosis. This will be reported as a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CONVIVO Confocal Endomicroscopy System in people with Brain Tumor, run by Stanford University.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2022. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of using the CONVIVO imaging system to identify tumor tissue identified by the operating surgeon (time frame: 12 months). 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 21 Feb 2022.
