Study summary

The study aims to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the cureVision cV system's performance in detecting moderate to high bacterial loads in direct comparison to the comparator device for fluorescence imaging in wounds, the MolecuLight i:X , to be able to offer the complete cureVision cV system to the US market.

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

  • Age ≥ 22 years
  • Eligible wounds include all wound etiologies including but not limited to DFUs, VLUs, pressure injuries, and open postsurgical wounds.
  • Presence of at least one target wound of sufficient size to allow:

Complete imaging using the device, and collection of tissue samples, as required by the study protocol

- The target wound must be located in an anatomical region that permits: Full visualization, appropriate positioning for imaging, and safe and feasible biopsy sampling.

  • Written possible
  • Wound suitable for fluorescence imaging under IFU conditions with the study device and the comparator device (e.g., no excessive exudate obscuring visualization

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The target wound cannot be completely imaged by the comparator device due to anatomical location, such as wounds that are:

Too extensive to be captured within the device's field of view, positioned on curved, recessed, or otherwise inaccessible regions (e.g., deep sacral clefts, interdigital spaces).

  • The target wound is too small to support the required procedures without compromising participant safety or data quality.
  • Treatment with experimental medication within the last month
  • Lack of ability to consent
  • for standard wound care or monitoring
  • Strong therapeutic anticoagulation (e.g., direct oral anticoagulants and warfarin);
  • Known bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder that increases risk of biopsy-related complications
  • Contraindications to local anesthesia or biopsy
  • Patients with wounds that are not suitable for biopsy, including tunnelling wounds and wounds with fistula formation
  • Wounds that cannot meet technical imaging requirements (e.g., excessive exudate, severe artifacts, calcification/crust preventing visualization).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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. Estimate the agreement between cureVision cV and MolecuLight i:X in the detection of moderate-to-high bacterial loads

    The primary objective is to estimate the agreement between cureVision cV and MolecuLight i:X in the detection of moderate-to-high bacterial loads (\>10⁴ CFU/g). Agreement is quantified by Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA), each reported as fractions and percentages with two-sided 95% confidence intervals. As a descriptive benchmark, the study will report whether the lower 95% CI bound for PPA exceeds 0.80

    Time frame: Day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the safety of the cureVision cVdevice during clinical use

    Number of patients with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAR v4.0 compared to predicate device.

    Time frame: Day 1
