About this study

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is possible to get high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) images of AIS tissue and/or tissue from microinvasive carcinoma right before a biopsy of the cervix. Researchers also want to learn if HRME images can show the difference between cancerous tissue and normal cervical tissue.

Read the detailed description

If you agree to take part in this study, after you are in the operating room and under general anesthesia, proflavine hemisulfate solution (contrast dye) will be applied to the cervix. Images will be collected with the probe from the HRME device. The HRME probe is a long thin tube with a camera at the tip. This probe will be applied to the cervix and images obtained. These images will be used for research. This should add about 10 minutes to the total time you are in the operating room.

There will be no change to the planned standard-of-care colposcopy and biopsy.

Follow-Up:

A member of the research team will call you within 30 days after the procedure to ask how you are feeling and if you are having any symptoms. This call should last about 5 minutes.

Length of Study:

Your active participation in this study will be over after the biopsy.

What participants receive

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

  • ProflavineDrug

    0.01% proflavine solution topically applied to cervix before high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) imaging.

  • High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) ImagingProcedure or surgery

    Also called HRME

    in-vivo high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) images of cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) performed immediately prior to conization.

Study groups in NCT02206048
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME)ExperimentalBefore participant's cold knife cone biopsy (CKC), topical application of 0.01% proflavine solution applied to cervix. HRME probe applied to cervix and high-resolution images obtained. Participant undergoes cervical biopsies of any abnormal areas noted with colposcopy and/or HRME. Immediately following the CKC, the removed surgical specimen evaluated. Proflavine reapplied to surgical specimen and repeat evaluation with HRME performed and high-resolution images obtained.
Receives: Drug: Proflavine; Procedure: High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) Imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of Acquiring In-vivo High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) Images of Cervix Prior to Conization

    Methodology determined feasible if in-vivo HRME images are acquired in if 18 of the 20 participants enrolled in the study.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adenocarcinoma In-Situ (AIS) Distinguished From Normal Cervical Tissue Using High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) Imaging

    AIS finding tabulated by the CKC specimen results as determined by pathology. Concordance of HRME images taken ex-vivo estimated with pathology findings with a 90% credible, assuming a beta (1.8, 0.2) prior distribution for the concordance.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Proflavine and High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) Imaging in people with Cervix Carcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jul 2022. 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 25 Jul 2022). 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 of Acquiring In-vivo High-Resolution Microendoscopy (HRME) Images of Cervix Prior to Conization (time frame: 1 day). 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 25 Jul 2022.
