Investigation of Hemoglobin Oxygenation With Third Harmonic Generation

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

The specific aims of the project are performing a pre-clinical study on a human model and evaluating the oxygenation and other status of human erythrocytes by spectrally-resolved third harmonic generation (srTHG) microscopy . By analyzing the partitioned third harmonic generation (THG) spectra of oxygenated and deoxygenated erythrocytes ex vivo, the investigators aim to provide a reference standard for quantifying oxygenation and molecular status in this project.

Clinical Trial Description

Recently, oximeter, detecting the spectral response at wavelengths of 660nm and 940nm, is widely used to measured oxygenation status. Its low spatial resolution and limited penetration depth in human skin, however, restrict the oximeter in clinical application especially for early detection of cancer. In early-stage cancer development, angiogenesis and oxygen depletion around tumor are two important indicators of tumor growth. If an angiogenesis and low oxygenation status can be identified simultaneously, the investigators can point out the early-stage tumor from normal tissue easily. The investigators have been working towards the development of third harmonic generation microscopy systems and reported the success of revealing morphology in human skin specimen. Since THG process is based on virtual transition without energy deposition, THG microscopy enables imaging ex vivo specimens without extra label and invasive procedure. To further investigate biological process of biomaterials, the investigators develop a srTHGM where THG spectrum is partitioned to analyze during imaging process. In this project, the investigators aim to elucidate oxygenation concentration and other specific biological molecular of red blood cells through the srTHG microscopy system. The abilities to reveal structure morphology and its corresponding biological information in situ would provide assistance to diagnose early-stage of tumor and other diseases as well as a potential support in clinical treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
