About this study

Official title: Study on the Application of Hyperspectral Imaging Technique in the Treatment of TAC

We propose hyperspectral imaging analysis as a method to identify the efficacy of hormone-tacrolimus therapy for PMN, and to classify sensitive and insensitive patients treated with hormone-tacrolimus regimen. A variety of machine learning models were used to prove that hyperspectral imaging technology could assist patients in selecting the optimal treatment plan, and further explore the predictive indicators of PMN treatment effect.

Read the detailed description

Renal biopsy slides of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in our hospital from February 2016 to February 2022 were collected. ENVI Classic software was used to process the hyperspectral images and delineate the region of interest. The one-dimensional spectral data of each pixel in each region were derived. Machine learning and deep learning methods were used to analyze the characteristics of hyperspectral data and classify them.

The data of the previous study came from the Department of Pathology and Nephrology of Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province. Under the light microscope, electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscope, the pathological types of glomerular diseases in patients with proteinuria were identified. By scanning the corresponding patient's H\&E stained pathological sections, the hyperspectral microscopic images were classified by machine learning and deep learning methods, and the classification accuracy was greater than 85%. It was concluded that hyperspectral imaging technology can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic method to predict treatment response.

Being tested
Tacrolimus for the treatment of IMN
Medical subject headings
Glomerulonephritis, Membranous

What participants receive

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

  • Tacrolimus for the treatment of IMNDrug

    Remission after tacrolimus treatment of IMN

Study groups in NCT05797038
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TAC group in remissionThe patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy were divided into two groups, the remission group and the non-remission group after the application of tacrolimus. The renal pathological sections of the two groups were observed by microhyperspectral imaging system, and the differences in the spectra of the two groups were analyzed.
Receives: Drug: Tacrolimus for the treatment of IMN
TAC group without remissionThe patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy were divided into two groups, the remission group and the non-remission group after the application of tacrolimus. The renal pathological sections of the two groups were observed by microhyperspectral imaging system, and the differences in the spectra of the two groups were analyzed.
Receives: Drug: Tacrolimus for the treatment of IMN

What is being measured

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

  1. Microhyperspectral image of a transrenal specimen

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy and Tacrolimus, run by Qianfoshan 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 4 Apr 2023. 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 Wang Zongsong (18660190175, wzsong3@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microhyperspectral image of a transrenal specimen (time frame: 2023.4-2023.12). 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 4 Apr 2023.
