Feasibility Testing of a Novel Endoscope for Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Normal Oral Tissue In Vivo

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK)

Status: Completed

Conditions: Oral Tissue

Treatments: Device: Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) endoscope device

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03004053

Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to obtain images (pictures) of normal oral tissue, which occur inside the mouth, using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. The technology is called "reflectance confocal microscopy."

Trial design

23 participants in 1 patient group

Volunteers will be identified by the Head and Neck Service

Description:

25 volunteers (Part I - 8 volunteers. Part II - 17 volunteers). during the course of 12 months. The volunteers will be imaged with the endoscope, and the images will be evaluated visually and with qualitative (descriptive) statistics.
