Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a new imaging technique which enables real-time, microscope-resolution imaging, currently used in endoscopy. This pilot study aims to evaluate pCLE in surgical setting. The objective is the depiction of histological rendering of normal and pathological tissues through pCLE. Feasibility of real-time diagnosis will also be assessed. All surgical conditions usually necessitating frozen section will be investigated. A total of 30 patients, with various pathology of the thyroid / parathyroid, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, adrenal, colon / small intestine, liver will be included. Diagnostic criteria will be defined by a surgeon - pathologist team and further validated by retrospective analysis of the video sequences in comparison to conventional histology slides. The data will be used to create an image bank of reference optical biopsy images. The study will allow to point out the surgical conditions in which pCLE is the most effective and reliable and could eventually replace the frozen section technique.', 'detailedDescription': "Intraoperative histological examination is a fundamental tool for cancer surgery (extent of surgery, resection margins, sentinel lymph node) and necessary in other circumstances like redo surgery or endocrine surgery. Using conventional frozen section technique results in the prolongation of operating time of about 40 minutes.\n\nProbe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a new imaging technique which enables real-time, microscope-resolution imaging. Specifically, after intravenous injection of a fluorescent contrast agent - in this study fluorescein will be used, the pCLE system provides video sequences of the tissue, using a confocal microscope integrated in a miniprobe and a low power laser as the illumination source (Cellvizio®, Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France).\n\nThe pCLE is currently used in endoscopy, mainly for the follow-up of Barrett's esophagus, colorectal polyps and strictures of the bile and pancreatic ducts, but also in urology. The pCLE has never been tested in open or video-assisted surgery settings. Sterilizable probes exist and are certified for use via an endoscope in France (UHD CystoFlexTM, AQ-FLEX 19TM Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France). A probe (CelioFlex UHDTM) is currently being developed for use in laparoscopic surgery setting.\n\nThis pilot study aims to evaluate pCLE in surgical setting. Each anatomical structure corresponds to a specific tissue architecture, which is today known through standard histological examination. Conventional histology implies alteration of the tissue architecture, with ablation of blood supply, sampling and technical treatment of the samples (fixation, cutting, staining). The pCLE enables to bypass this process and allows obtaining images of the microscopic structure in vivo, without cell damage and without interruption of the blood and lymphatic circulation. The obtained video sequences reflect the microscopic architecture, in a form which is to date, neither mapped nor exploited for deep organs. The potential of this technique was demonstrated in intraabdominal organs only in the animal model, with very encouraging results as the sensitivity and specificity of pCLE were superior to standard histological examination.\n\nThe primary objective is the depiction of histological rendering of normal and pathological tissues through pCLE. Feasibility of real-time diagnosis will also be assessed. All surgical conditions usually necessitating frozen section will be investigated. A total of 30 patients, with various pathology of the thyroid / parathyroid, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, adrenal, colon / small intestine, liver will be included.\n\nThe installation and surgical opening will be performed according to standard protocols. A contrast agent, fluorescein, will be injected intravenously to allow tissue visualization with the pCLE. During the surgery, the surgeon will perform the pCLE examination, to obtain and record video sequences of in situ structures. Frozen sections will be obtained on the same samples and will further guide the surgical decision-making.\n\nDiagnostic criteria will be defined by a surgeon - pathologist team and further validated by retrospective analysis of the sequences in comparison to conventional histology slides. The data will be used to create an image bank of reference optical biopsy images.\n\nThe study will allow to point out the surgical conditions in which pCLE is the most effective and reliable and could eventually replace the frozen section technique.\n\nA second study, in comparative prospective settings, could further be focused only on the promising conditions in order to evaluate diagnosis accuracy on a statistical basis."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient, male or female, over 18 years old\n* Patient candidate to digestive or endocrine surgery in whom the surgeon deems necessary intraoperative frozen section\n* Patient able to understand the study and to provide informed consent\n* Patient affiliated to the French social security system\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient unable to provide informed consent\n* Patient with known or suspected allergy to fluorescein\n* Patient who had a previous life-threatening reaction during an angiography\n* Patient with a history of multiple and severe allergic reactions to medications\n* Patient taking a beta-blocker treatment\n* Patient with comorbidity considered by the investigator, as incompatible with the procedures of the study\n* Patient pregnant or breastfeeding\n* Patient in exclusion period (determined by a previous study or in progress)\n* Patient having forfeited their freedom of an administrative or legal obligation\n* Patient under guardianship'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02552004', 'acronym': 'Pilot pCLE', 'briefTitle': 'Assessment of Intraoperative Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in Digestive and Endocrine Surgery: a Pilot Study', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'IHU Strasbourg'}, 'officialTitle': 'Assessment of the Intraoperative Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in Digestive and Endocrine Surgery - a Pilot Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '15-001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'pCLE', 'description': 'Patients subject to endocrine or digestive surgery will have intraoperative pCLE examination.
