Trial summary

To investigate novel advanced imaging techniques (hyperspectral imaging) that could enable clinicians to determine the degree and effectiveness of blood flow to tissues during surgery. There are a number of disorders where blood flow is inadequate to provide nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Read more about this study

About this study

To investigate novel advanced imaging techniques (hyperspectral imaging) that could enable clinicians to determine the degree and effectiveness of blood flow to tissues during surgery.

There are a number of disorders where blood flow is inadequate to provide nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Under some circumstances, surgery is required to either improve the blood flow or remove tissues that are poorly perfused. In other cases, occlusion of the blood supply to an organ is temporarily or permanently performed to minimize blood loss during a surgical procedure.

Additionally, there are disorders where the location of certain blood containing structures is important but not immediately obvious to surgeons during an operation. Knowledge of where those structures are is very important and could greatly improve the safety of various surgical procedures.

Patients of the investigator who are scheduled for foot surgery will be provided the opportunity to participate in this research. After giving informed consent, hyperspectral images will be obtained at various points during the surgical procedure.

As this technology is non-invasive, it is not expected to interfere with or change the procedure they are undergoing. Once the surgical procedure is complete, imaging will be saved to a disk for later evaluation.

100 subjects will participate in this study.

Read the detailed description

The hyperspectral imager will be turned on at various time points during surgery, to measure the spectral wavelengths of tissues. The surgery being performed will in no way be altered by the imaging device and post surgical follow-up of patients will be standard of care appropriate to the surgical procedure.

Patients will have HSI performed only during their surgery. They will not receive additional medications and will have no additional follow up. Participating in this study will not add extra appointments, procedures, or time requirements for the patient. The patient's medical record may be referenced for information after the surgery for up to one year. There are no costs to the patient for participation in this study.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03787862
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)Patients scheduled for foot surgery will be imaged using the HSI device. Data will be gathered from the electronic medical record for one year to determines the outcomes of the surgery, any complications, re-hosptializations, re-ulcerations or amputation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of HSI images with patient outcomes

    Patient video images will be correlated with individual outcomes. Patients undergoing similar procedures will then be compared in terms of surgical outcome and differences in hyperspectral imaging variables.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Foot Ulcers and Osteomyelitis, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 2 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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Correlation of HSI images with patient outcomes (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 26 Dec 2018.
