About this study

Official title: a Prospective In-vivo Human Study to Assess the Diagnostic Accuracy of Optical Coherence Tomography for Diagnosis and Staging of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to establish in vivo sensitivity and specificity of OCT in the diagnosis of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Minimal invasive endoscopic treatment for Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UUT-UC) has been accepted as a treatment option instead of radical nephroureterectomy for patients with low grade, low stage disease. For this reason, information on tumour stage and grade is important for a clinical decision. Until now,diagnostic ureterorenoscopy combined with histology/cytology is the gold standard. Unfortunately, histology/cytology is often inconclusive.

Optical Coherence Tomography is a new high resolution imaging technique that has potential to provide the urologist real time per-operative information of grade and stage of the disease.

In this study the investigators aim to establish in vivo sensitivity and specificity of OCT in the diagnosis of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma. Secondary objectives are inter-observer variability of 1300 nm OCT in the diagnosis of UUT-UC and optical properties of cancerous and healthy ureter and collecting system tissue in vivo in humans.

What participants receive

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

  • Optical Coherence TomographyDevice

    Single Optical Coherence Tomography measurement of upper urinary tract tumour taken during ureterorenoscopy

  • Optical Coherence TomographyDevice

    Also called 1300 nm Optical Coherence Tomography

    A single 1300 nm OCT measurement will be performed during ureterorenoscopy in patients with upper urinary tract tumour(s)

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of 1300nm OCT in grading and staging UUT-UC

    Only a single OCT measurement will be done during surgery. This measurement will take a maximum of 10 minutes, including preparation of the OCT device

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  2. Specificity of 1300nm OCT in grading and staging UUT-UC

    Only a single OCT measurement will be done during surgery. This measurement will take a maximum of 10 minutes, including preparation of the OCT device

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optical Coherence Tomography in people with Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Urinary Tract, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) 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 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 30 Dec 2014. 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?

Sensitivity of 1300nm OCT in grading and staging UUT-UC (time frame: up to 10 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02326909, 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 30 Dec 2014.
