Trial summary

Lasers are being used to treat Port Wine Stains (PWS), but the laser doesn't always work. Only about 10% of PWS can be completely cleared. The research team believes that the investigators can improve the response of PWS to laser therapy by using a computer program that the principal investigator of this study (Dr. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Personalized Interactive Laser Therapy of Port Wine Stain - Study 2

Lasers are being used to treat Port Wine Stains (PWS), but the laser doesn't always work. Only about 10% of PWS can be completely cleared. The research team believes that the investigators can improve the response of PWS to laser therapy by using a computer program that the principal investigator of this study (Dr. Shafirstein PhD) has developed. The purpose of this study is to test the validity of this computer program. Personalized Interactive Laser Therapy (PILT) could significantly improve clinical outcomes of laser treatment of PWS.

What participants receive

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

  • ThermoVision A20M Infrared CameraDevice

    FLIR Systems, Boston, MA. This is a non invasive passive thermal imaging device with less than minimal risk to subjects and staff.

  • ScleroPLUSDevice

    Sclerolaser, Candela Corp., Wayland, MA. This laser is approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) for treating PWS lesions and will be used as labeled.

  • 3D Digital CameraDevice

    3dMD, Atlanta, GA. Approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) for imaging patients and will be used as labeled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average Laser Setting to be Used to Treat Port Wine Stains as Measured by Mathematical Calculations Based on Imaging and Temperature Analysis of Malformation.

    6 subjects were enrolled but no data was ever collected due to early termination of the study due to the PI's relocation.

    Measured: Three treatments up to one year, whichever is first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ThermoVision A20M Infrared Camera, ScleroPLUS and 3D Digital Camera in people with Port Wine Stain, run by University of Arkansas 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 8 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: stopped early, 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Average Laser Setting to be Used to Treat Port Wine Stains as Measured by Mathematical Calculations Based on Imaging and Temperature Analysis of Malformation. (time frame: Three treatments up to one year, whichever is first). 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.
