Study summary

Evaluation and characterization of autofluorescence signals of tissue in and around wounds as identified by MolecuLight fluorescence image.

Read the detailed description

Evaluate and characterize autofluorescence signals of tissue components in and around wounds identified by MolecuLight FL images using a point spectrometer. The fluorescence spectroscopy data will yield quantitative spectral information, including the relative intensity and emission peak of the biological autofluorescence signatures.

Study population

Patients with chronic and/or acute wound

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients presenting with acute or chronic wounds
  • 18 years or older
  • Willing to consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treatment with an drug within 1 month of enrolment
  • Any to regular wound care
  • Inability or unwillingness to consent
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Spectra of autofluorescent signatures of tissue in and around the wounds

    Spectral characterization (i.e. emission curve including intensity) of the autofluorescence signal from wound tissue and surrounding tissue will be catalogued from all 50 study participants.

    Time frame: 2 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 25, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
