Study summary

The aim is to use AI to assist surgeons in analyzing CLSM tissue slide images obtained during BCC surgeries with the aim to integrate it in real time. We plan to use AI to analyze CLSM images of BCCs and distinguish between tumor tissue, inflammatory tissue, and non-tumor/non-inflammatory tissue. This approach would provide surgeons with real-time feedback and automated image analysis, leading to a more targeted and efficient approach to tissue analysis. By improving the accuracy and speed of tissue analysis, our proposal could ultimately improve operative patient outcomes and benefit healthcare professionals.

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 Aug 26, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
