Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain images (pictures) of normal oral tissue, which occur inside the mouth, using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain images (pictures) of normal oral tissue, which occur inside the mouth, using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. The technology is called "reflectance confocal microscopy."

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Volunteers will be identified by the Head and Neck Service25 volunteers (Part I - 8 volunteers. Part II - 17 volunteers). during the course of 12 months. The volunteers will be imaged with the endoscope, and the images will be evaluated visually and with qualitative (descriptive) statistics.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of images with acceptable quality

    Each image will be scored either 1 (completely unacceptable), 2 (unacceptable), 3 (possibly acceptable), 4 (acceptable) or 5 (very acceptable) relative to a reference standard The reference standard for appearance of adequate sectioning, resolution and contrast and for detectability of nuclear and cellular features will be the appearance of images and image quality, which we are intimately familiar with, based on the past several years of experience with the existing RCM device for which images of oral mucosa have been well-characterized, well-correlated to histology, and thus are well-understood.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oral Tissue, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 2 Mar 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?

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?

number of images with acceptable quality (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 2 Mar 2022.
