About this study

Official title: Use of Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy to Perform Optical Biopsy for Peritoneal Nodules in Colorectal Cancer Patients During Surgery

During surgery, peritoneal metastasis is typically confirmed pathologically through resection sample. However, this process can be time-consuming when utilizing intro-operative frozen section pathology. To address this issue, we propose utilizing confocal laser endomicroscopy to provide in situ, real-time, and in-vivo diagnosis of suspected peritoneal nodules as cancer metastasis during surgery.

Read the detailed description

Peritoneal metastasis is a common metastatic site in colorectal cancer patients, and those with peritoneal metastasis often have a poor prognosis. During surgery, peritoneal metastasis is confirmed pathologically through resection sample, but frozen section pathology can take up to 30 minutes, which is a significant amount of time.

To address this issue, we suggest utilizing probed-based confocal laser endoscopy (pCLE), a novel endoscopic adjunct that enables real-time in vivo histological examination of mucosal surfaces. By using intravenous fluorescent agents, pCLE highlights certain mucosal elements that facilitate an optical biopsy in real time.

By providing a promising optical biopsy, CLE has the potential to enable in situ, real-time, and in vivo diagnosis of colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal nodules during surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of pCLE optical biopsy

    The investigators will use pCLE optical biopsy for peritoneal nodules in colorectal cancer patients and compare the pathological diagnosis between optical biopsy and surgically resected specimens.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sensitivity, specificity of pCLE optical biopsy

    The investigators will use pCLE optical biopsy for peritoneal nodules in colorectal cancer patients and compare the pathological diagnosis between optical biopsy and surgically resected specimens.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of pCLE optical biopsy

    The investigators will use pCLE optical biopsy for peritoneal nodules in colorectal cancer patients and compare the pathological diagnosis between optical biopsy and surgically resected specimens.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Confocal laser endomicroscopy in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2023. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jun Yan, M.D., Ph.D. (086-13825066546, yanjunfudan@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of pCLE optical biopsy (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05879783, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Aug 2023.
