Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Wounds During Moh's Surgery: Feasibility Testing of a Mosaicing Algorithm for Intraoperative Imaging of Cancer Margins
An observational study of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 4 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate assessment of surgical margins in the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate assessment of surgical margins in the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The investigators will evaluate the pictures obtained by the confocal microscope to determine whether this technique may be useful in the future for helping Mohs surgeons remove cancers. In the future, patients may benefit with shorter surgery and improved care.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
test feasibility of a mosaicing algorithm intraoperative
For the primary study objective, the Mohs surgeon will perform a qualitative assessment of the confocal mosaic. This will be a dichotomous assessment of whether the mosaic is of sufficient quality (contrast and resolution) to identify individual features. The specific features for BCC or SCC margins are tumor nests with nuclear atypia and increased nuclear density (relative to the density seen in normal basal cells).
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (1)
test feasibility of a mosaicing algorithm preoperative
imaging of cancer margins on patients, before Mohs surgery.
Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 4 sites 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites 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 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?
test feasibility of a mosaicing algorithm intraoperative (time frame: 1 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 1 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
