This study is currently recruiting participants.

Verified July 2017 by Dennis Wigle, Mayo Clinic
Sponsor:
Information provided by (Responsible Party):
Dennis Wigle, Mayo Clinic
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT03211780
First received: July 3, 2017
Last updated: July 6, 2017
Last verified: July 2017
  Purpose
Using the analysis of group velocity for a screening application and then higher order analysis based on the elastic and viscious components of the shear modulus may allow discrimination between extent of tumor invasion through the esophageal wall if appropriately correlated with pathological findings.

Condition Intervention
Esophageal Cancer Device: General Electric LOGIQ E9 ultrasound system

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Shear wave vibrometry and B-mode imaging will be performed after esophageal distension with a fluid filled balloon intra-operatively.
Masking: No masking
Primary Purpose: Device Feasibility
Official Title: Use of Intra-Operative Shear Wave Ultrasound Vibrometry for Characterization of Esophageal Malignant Tumors

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Determining malignant esophageal tissue from normal tissue [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
    Determining malignant esophageal tissue from normal tissue by measurements using the General Electric LOGIQ E9 ultrasound system.


Estimated Enrollment: 20
Anticipated Study Start Date: July 2017
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Ultrasound Device: General Electric LOGIQ E9 ultrasound system
Patients will be brought to the operating room in line with standard clinical practice and after esophageal exposure, but before surgical mobilization of the esophagus, shear wave vibrometry and B-mode imaging will be performed after esophageal distension with a fluid filled balloon intra-operatively.

Detailed Description:
Use of ultrasound-based vibrometry in this setting would allow for a relatively simple study and translation of clinical practice, as the same devices are already used in this setting, and operators have familiarity with the equipment. Incorporating another additional method to generate contrast for determining malignant tissue from normal based on biomechanical properties with the same probe would have benefit as an additional diagnostic modality.
