New microscope peers inside living tumors to see how they behave

NCT ID NCT03823144

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses a special microscope called intravital microscopy to look at blood vessels inside solid tumors while patients are in surgery. Researchers want to see how these vessels work and how well they let blood and dye flow through. The goal is to learn whether tumor vessel function could help predict how well a patient might respond to cancer treatments. About 85 adults with various cancers, including breast, colorectal, and pancreatic, will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Fluorescein Sodium Injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients' tumors are likely to respond to certain cancer treatments based on how their blood vessels function.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any direct benefit for participants, and the findings may not apply to all cancer types.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 85 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years of age * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)Performance Status of ≤ 2 * Measurable tumor by direct visualization requiring surgical resection in the operating room (OR) * Tumor types of origin include gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, colorectal, sarcoma, brain, or breast cancer that may involve the axillary lymph nodes cancers. Tumors may be primary or metastatic * Subject must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent * Subject must have a skin prick test pre-operatively (at the time of the preoperative visit and after signed informed consent for entry into this clinical trial is given) to determine any sensitivity to fluorescein Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations * Renal dysfunction as defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 45 * Liver dysfunction as defined by Child-Pugh score \> 5, or liver function test (LFT)'s 1.5 x above normal range * Any known allergy or prior reaction to fluorescein or a positive skin prick test to fluorescein * Pregnant or nursing female subjects, determined preoperatively with a urine pregnancy test * Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements * Any condition which in the investigators' opinion deems the patient unsuitable (e.g., abnormal electrocardiography \[EKG\], including T wave inversion, elevated T waves, prolonged QRS interval, or conduction blocks) or that requires further work-up (including cardiac echo or stress test) * Any condition that excludes surgical resection as the standard of care for the patient
