About this study

Adult patients evaluated at Lahey Clinic with known or suspected gastrointestinal or gynecologic malignancies and with an indication for diagnostic laparoscopy will be offered participation in the study. The proposed study is a randomized, controlled feasibility trial with crossover design. The study's aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic narrow band imaging (NBI) compared to standard white-light laparoscopy for detection of peritoneal cancer metastases. Study patients will undergo laparoscopic evaluation of the peritoneal cavity using a routine white-light videolaparoscope with the capability of NBI. The order of white-light and NBI laparoscopy will be randomized for each patient (crossover design). Frozen-section histopathology biopsies will be retrieved of all suspicious-appearing abnormalities using best clinical practices. The number of detected peritoneal metastases will be compared between each diagnostic laparoscopy technique. To gauge the rate of potentially missed metastases, peritoneal cancer recurrence will be surveyed through a 1-year follow-up.

Being tested
Laparoscopic narrow band imaging, Standard white-light laparoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Laparoscopic narrow band imaging and Standard white-light laparoscopy in people with Gastrointestinal and Gynecologic Malignancies, run by Lahey Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jan 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jan 2021). 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?

Rate of Detectable Peritoneal Metastases (time frame: After each Laparoscopy, at time of procedure). 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 NCT01944930, 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 8 Jan 2021.
