Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will be conducted in participants with malignancies who are scheduled to receive cytotoxic chemotherapy agents with any risk of neutropenia (e.g. antimetabolites, platins, taxanes, topoisomerase inhibitors, Vinca alkaloids, anthracyclines, among others). Participants will be in an ambulatory stable condition as described in the criteria below and according to the investigator's assessment.

Who may be able to join

  • Study subjects must be able to understand the purpose and risks of the study and to provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use confidential health information in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations.
  • Male or Female aged 18 years or above
  • Diagnosed with hematological malignancy (e.g., lymphoma, myeloma) or breast cancer.
  • Scheduled active treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy with an associated high/intermediate risk of neutropenia.
  • Able (in the Investigators opinion) and willing to comply with all study requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with amputations, congenital malformations or any severe abnormalities of the hands as determined by the investigator.
  • Participants with a history of vasculitis, Raynaud syndrome, scleroderma, mixed connective tissue disease or any other rheumatologic systemic condition that could produce microcirculatory changes in the nailfold.
  • Participants with circulating tumor cells in previous or current lab determinations.
  • Unstable participants or participants with hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 and diastolic blood pressure < 60mmHg).
  • Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the result of the study, or the participant's ability to participate in the study.
  • Other unspecified reasons that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, make the subject unsuitable for enrolment.

About this study

Official title: Study to Evaluate the Usability of PointCheck, a Novel Optical Technology for Screening Non-Invasively Severe Neutropenia

This a study about the usability of PointCheck a novel non-invasive technology for monitoring chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The study will include patients with cancer visiting the outpatient hematology clinic for their standard of care chemotherapy administration. A final sample size of 60 oncologic outpatients will be enrolled and studied with the technology.

The main objective is to evaluate the usability of PointCheck. Secondary outcomes include a preliminary assessment of PointCheck diagnostic accuracy and precision.

For this, study subjects will be tested twice with PointCheck during the same session and the usability in an at-home simulated environment by naïve users will be evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • PointCheckDiagnostic test

    This is a usability study on PointCheck, a new technology to detect chemotherapy-induced neutropenia

What is being measured

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

  1. PointCheck's Usability

    To gather data with the ultimate goal of determining the usability of the proposed non-invasive method measured by the the number and % of user errors (globally and per error type) observed in the clinic visits. In addition, the number and % of users successfully completing the test without errors will be measured.

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

  2. System Usability Scale (0-100 higher scores indicate better usability)

    To confirm the usability of the system using the System Usability Scale

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. PointCheck's Precision

    To perform an exploratory analysis of the percentage agreement of PointCheck's estimation of WBC from two independent one-minute videos.

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

  2. PointCheck's Accuracy

    To perform a exploratory analysis of PointCheck's accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUROC) to detect severe neutropenia compared with the gold standard blood analysis method employed by the 12 de Octubre Hospital core laboratory in the range between ≤500 and >500 ANC/µL.

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

  3. PointCheck's Utility

    To evaluate the % of patients that had to be rescheduled because the sole presence of neutropenia and how many of them were correctly detected with PointCheck.

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

  4. PointCheck's Safety: total number (%) of AEs and SAEs

    The number (and %) of AEs, SAEs and their relationship with the device use will be the safety endpoint

    Measured: Up to three-weeks

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Spain. 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?

PointCheck's Usability (time frame: Up to three-weeks). 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 NCT04448314, 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 22 Aug 2023.
