About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study: Measurement of Digital Colposcopy for Fluorescence Spectroscopy of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Using a Second Generation Device

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as digital colposcopy, may help doctors find and diagnose cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying digital colposcopy to see how well it works in finding cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with an abnormal Pap smear.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify potential improvements for a noninvasive method of diagnosing cervical dysplasia and neoplasia using the Multispectral Digital Colposcope (MDC), a device that uses fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy to compare images with histopathologic mapping of the cervical epithelium.
  • To measure MDC images in vivo of the cervix using a modified device that makes measurements in seconds rather than over 2 minutes before and after acetic acid.
  • To evaluate, preliminarily, the effect of the fading of acetic acid in the image contrast obtained over time to see if this fading can predict the grade of intraepithelial neoplasia.
  • To evaluate mapping of the cervix so that software can reconstruct the cervical epithelial map to compare the map with routine colposcopic images as well as with those from the MDC.
  • To compare, preliminarily, MDC performance with colposcopy and pathologic analysis of tissue removed after colposcopy in the form of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo routine colposcopy as part of their regular colposcopic evaluation. The digital colposcope is used to take images of the vagina and cervix, pre- and post-acetic acid, using white, green, and blue light. Colposcopically abnormal areas are biopsied; a normal area may also be biopsied. Patients undergoing loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) may undergo one additional biopsy of a colposcopically normal site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of potential improvements for a noninvasive method of diagnosing cervical dysplasia and neoplasia using the Multispectral Digital Colposcope (MDC)

  2. Measurement of MDC images in vivo of the cervix

  3. Effect of the fading of acetic acid in the image contrast obtained over time and its prediction of the grade of intraepithelial neoplasia

  4. Mapping of the cervix and comparison of map with routine colposcopic images as well as with those from the MDC

  5. Comparison of MDC performance with colposcopy and pathologic analysis of tissue removed after colposcopy in the form of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by British Columbia Cancer Agency at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 Jul 2014. 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 Canada. 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?

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?

Identification of potential improvements for a noninvasive method of diagnosing cervical dysplasia and neoplasia using the Multispectral Digital Colposcope (MDC). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2014.
