Study Summary

This trial is testing a new, portable microendoscope that takes subcellular images of the anal epithelium to look for changes associated with neoplasia (abnormal tissue growth). The investigators hypothesis is that this 'optical' approach will be more efficient and have a greater clinical impact than the standard of HRA (High resolution anoscopy)-guided biopsy.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: mHRMEExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

5-10 ml of proflavine hemisulfate (0.01%) will be applied on the anal epithelium. The mHRME will then be inserted and imaging of abnormal tissues will be performed. This is a single-arm study where all subjects will receive both standard of care HRA (High resolution anoscopy) and experimental mHRME imaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does the FDA recognize mHRME as a safe and effective medical device?

"The safety of mHRME was given a 2. This is due to the fact that, while there are Phase 2 trials underway testing its safety, there are no such studies investigating whether or not the mobile high resolution microendoscope is effective."

Answered by AI

Is this research project still recruiting individuals?

"That is correct. The information available on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this study, which was originally posted on 7/1/2019, is still recruiting patients. They are looking for 200 individuals from 2 separate locations."

Answered by AI

How many people are allowed to be in this trial at any given time?

"That is correct. The clinical trial in question, as reflected on the website clinicaltrials.gov, appears to be currently recruiting patients. This specific study was first published on 7/1/2019 and was most recently updated on 9/7/2021. They are looking for 200 volunteers at 2 different locations."
