About this study

Official title: Optical Coherence Tomography of Human Airways

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as optical coherence tomography, may help find and diagnose lung cancer or precancerous cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well optical coherence tomography of the airway works in detecting abnormal cells in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer or lung disease.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Correlate optical coherence tomography images of the airway with airway histology.
  • Develop an imaging technique to detect premalignant airway epithelial changes (carcinoma in situ, dysplasia) to study the transformation process as well as intervene and prevent the development of lung cancer.

OUTLINE: Bronchoscopic imaging and optical coherence tomography are performed on lung tissue samples collected during surgery. All imaged areas are marked. The marked areas are then excised and fixed in formalin for histopathologic analysis.

Being tested
bronchoscopic and lung imaging studies, diagnostic bronchoscopy, histopathologic examination, optical coherence tomography
Keywords
non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, benign respiratory tract neoplasm, lung papilloma, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, squamous lung dysplasia, malignant mesothelioma, pulmonary carcinoid tumor, lung metastases
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of optical coherence tomography images of the airway with airway histology

    Measured: This study will involve discarded tissue from 10 subjects with pathology specimens over one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Malignant Mesothelioma, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2015. 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?

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?

Correlation of optical coherence tomography images of the airway with airway histology (time frame: This study will involve discarded tissue from 10 subjects with pathology specimens over one year.). 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 2 Oct 2015.
