Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The NIR light source of our device is based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which can deliver sufficient light to biological tissues and induce fluorescence emission to meet the needs of the planned clinical studies. It should be noted that the light source is still well under the US FDA recommended limit for NIR exposure and ANSI standard. In addition, the light source is not laser-based, which is significantly safer than other optical imaging systems utilizing laser technologies. The fluorescence signals will be received by the detector portion of our device. Gain-settings could be easily adjusted during operation to optimize the contrast between high fluorescence areas (tumors) and low fluorescence areas (normal tissues). Real-time fluorescence video will be displayed in the goggle eyepiece as well as on a secondary monitor to facilitate viewing by other surgeons in the room.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a FindMyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States
  • Washington University School of Medicine

    St Louis, Missouri, United States

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.

Drugs studied

The drug and biological interventions registered on this study, normalized to their RxNorm ingredient where possible.
