In Vivo Real-time Detection of Circulating Melanoma Cells
Sponsor: University of Arkansas
View on ClinicalTrials.gov
Summary
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether a Photoacoustic flow cytometry (PAFC)-based prototype device can detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of melanoma patients in vivo, in real time, and do so at detection limits at least one order of magnitude below the detection limits of currently existing ex vivo methods.
