  • Breast Specific Exclusion criteria:
  • Patients who have a history of breast cancer and/or who have received prior chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, or radiation therapy
  • Patients who have breast implants
  • Patients needing a stereotactic breast biopsy (i.e. non palpable-, ultrasound opaque lesions)

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Discrimination of Benign and Malignant Human Tissue During Percutaneous Interventions Using Optical Spectroscopy Techniques

Investigation of application possibilities of optical spectroscopy within the field of oncology. Optical spectroscopy enables the possibility to specifically differentiate between different (human) tissues. The hypothesis is that incorporation of this technique into existing medical devices (e.g. biopsy needle) would enlarge the accuracy and reliability of these devices. The purpose is to improve and speed up the diagnostics and therapy of the malignancies.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

In this observational study the investigators aim to evaluate whether optical spectroscopy can correctly diagnose malignant tissue in the existing clinical workflow of percutaneous interventions in lung, liver, and breast.

Secondary Objective:

During the measurement procedure, possible improvements of the measurement hardware will be recorded. Analysis of this documentation will provide information for possible alterations of hardware design for improved clinical applicability in the future. Special attention will be paid to observe how the procedure fits in the standard workflow of the radiologist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Coin Lesion and Colon Cancer Liver Metastasis, run by Philips Healthcare at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 12 inclusion and 0 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 11 Apr 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Differentiation between normal and malignant tissue (time frame: Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01730365, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Apr 2016.
