Trial summary

This study investigates if a new imaging device can detect different types of lung tissue using spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI). Specifically, this study aims to detect lung nodules within normal lung tissue and determine if lung nodules are cancerous. Read more about this study

About this study

This study investigates if a new imaging device can detect different types of lung tissue using spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI). Specifically, this study aims to detect lung nodules within normal lung tissue and determine if lung nodules are cancerous. Patients who have confirmed or suspected lung nodules and who are undergoing resection of those nodules will be recruited for the study. Study participants will undergo standard of care lung nodule resection in the operating room, and the resected specimen will be imaged using the SFDI device immediately after removal from the surgical field. The data captured from the SFDI images will then be compared to the pathology findings to identify optical properties of normal and cancerous lung tissue. Because the intervention is conducted on resected biospecimens, this study yields minimal risk to participants.

What participants receive

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

  • Spatial Frequency Domain ImagingDevice

    Resected lung tissue will be removed from the surgical field and labeled with sutures per standard of care. The specimen will then be immediately analyzed using two SFDI devices in the operating room using sterile technique. Each specimen will be recorded up to three times to ensure at least one high fidelity recording is captured. The SFDI data will be analyzed and compared to the official pathology report from the electronic medical record.

What is being measured

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

  1. Markers of native lung parenchyma

    Use SFDI to identify markers of lung nodule vs native lung parenchyma

    Measured: May 7, 2023 to December 31, 2026

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cancer identification

    Distinguish cancer vs non-cancer in lung nodules with SFDI

    Measured: May 7, 2023 to December 31, 2026

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Cancer, Lung, run by University of California, Irvine at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 5 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2024. 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 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?

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?

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?

Markers of native lung parenchyma (time frame: May 7, 2023 to December 31, 2026). 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 12 Aug 2024.
