New pelotte device aims to improve temperature accuracy in cancer heat therapy
NCT ID NCT07235540
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new device called a pelotte can measure vaginal temperature more accurately during deep hyperthermia (heat therapy) for gynecologic cancer. Twenty-seven women receiving radiation plus heat therapy will have their temperature measured with both the pelotte and a standard probe across multiple treatments. The goal is to see if the pelotte gives more consistent and reliable readings, which could help improve treatment precision.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pelotte (a PTFE rod with a temperature catheter, covered by a condom)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate temperature measurements during hyperthermia treatment, potentially improving treatment effectiveness for gynecologic cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (27 participants) focused on measurement accuracy, not treatment outcomes. The device may not improve clinical results or patient comfort.
