June 13, 2023 updated by: Aditya Kaza

Optical Tissue Identification for Myocardial Architecture (OPTIMA Study)

The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that fiberoptic confocal microscopy (FCM) imaging during repair of common congenital heart defects is a useful adjunct for avoidance of conduction abnormalities.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an interventional randomized controlled study to investigate the use of fiberoptic confocal microscopy (FCM) imaging for avoidance of conduction abnormalities during repair of common congenital heart defects. Study results will be compared to a cohort of similar surgical patients following standard surgical procedures where FCM was not used. We will analyze pre-and postoperative ECGs to identify conduction abnormalities.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: Non-imaging cohort
There will be no intervention for the non-imaging group. Subjects will receive standard of care for cardiac surgery.
Experimental: Imaging cohort
Up to 5mL of 1:1000 dilute fluorescite will be applied to cardiac tissue prior to imaging with Cellvizio 100 Series System with Confocal Miniprobes. The system will be used to assist the investigator with the operative course.
Drug: Fluorescite
1 mL of Fluorescite will be diluted into 1L of saline. Up to 5mLs of the 1:1000 diluted solution will be applied topically to the cardiac tissue prior to imaging.
Other Names:
  • fluorescein sodium
Device: Cellvizio 100 Series System with Confocal Miniprobes
The microscopy system will image cardiac tissue.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures
