Trial summary

The goal of this research is to conduct a pilot clinical study to image colonic polyps with the intent to evaluate the potential use of Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) to identify the extent of invasion (if present), differentiate between hyperplastic polyps and adenomas, and identify serrated polyps.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Evaluate Optical Frequency Domain Imaging as a Tool for Assessing Colonic Polyps

The goal of this research is to conduct a pilot clinical study to image colonic polyps with the intent to evaluate the potential use of Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) to identify the extent of invasion (if present), differentiate between hyperplastic polyps and adenomas, and identify serrated polyps.

Read the detailed description

The colon OFDI catheter will be used in conjunction with a sigmoidoscope. If a sigmoid polyp is identified, the colonoscope will be removed and a sigmoidoscope inserted. The colon OFDI catheter will be advanced through the sigmoidoscope accessory port and positioned adjacent to the colon wall. Imaging will be performed with the OFDI system across the polyp's surface and the base/stalk if pedunculated. The investigators anticipate that on average the investigators will utilize 4 helical scans per polyp. Each of the scans will take less than 30 seconds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility and Sensitivity of OFDI Imaging in the Colon

    OFDI Images are analyzed and compared to standard of care biopsies in order to differentiate hyperplastic polyps from adenomas or to identify serrated polyps. A total of 15 subjects were consented, but upon inspection of the colon only 2 participants met the eligibility criteria and participated.

    Measured: During the OFDI imaging session which should take an average of 5 mintues

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MGH Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) System in people with Colonic Polyps, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 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 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 30 Dec 2019). 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?

Feasibility and Sensitivity of OFDI Imaging in the Colon (time frame: During the OFDI imaging session which should take an average of 5 mintues). 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 27 Jul 2023.
