Optical Coherence Microscopy in Dermato-oncology

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Skin Cancer
Interventions
Device: OCTAV Patient
Device: OCTAV Control group
Registration Number
NCT03731247
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

OCTAV is a medical device class I, CE marked, based on a new technique for high-resolution imager (cell) internal microstructures of all types of biological tissues in vivo or ex vivo, to a depth of penetration 800 .mu.m. It allows to explore the epidermis, the dermo-epidermal junction and middle dermis in a totally non-invasive (direct contact with the tissue without sampling).

Detailed Description

At the coming of the patient in Dermatology for resection / biopsy of the tumor (usual practice), for the study, an image of the tumor will be performed with the OCTAV device (about 5 minutes) for the study. Then, according to usual practice, resection / biopsy will be performed.

This study aims to validate the clinical relevance of this device to characterize the 3 main skin cancers and to obtain the necessary data for the implementation of future clinical trials.

OCTAV PatientOCTAV PatientThe patients who will have a biopsy of skin suspected to be a melanoma, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma will have a skin imaging with a new Microscopy Optical Coherence (OCTAV)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SensitivityDay 1

Sensitivity measures the proportion of positive skin cancers (according to the OCTAV device) that are correctly identified as such (according to gold standard : histology)

SpecificityDay 1

Specificity measures the proportion of negative skin cancers (according to the OCTAV device) that are correctly identified as such (according to gold standard : histology)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measure of the thickness of the different skin layers (mm)Day 1

Only for the non skin cancer group. Theses measures will identify the different skin layers (Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous tissue, Cross-section)
