About this trial

To learn if a new type of imaging device called the Active Biopsy Guidance System can help doctors to decide when and where to perform invasive biopsies of mouth lesions.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult subjects with clinically evident oral lesions such as leukoplakia or erythroplakia, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) such as lichen planus and graft vs. host disease, pathologic diagnosis of dysplasia, squamous cell carcinoma, or a history of resected oral cancer, are eligible to participate. Patients with previous treatment including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or other therapies are also eligible.

Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written Informed Consent Document (ICD).

Disqualifiers

Known allergy to proflavine or acriflavine.

Age less than 18 years.

Pregnant or nursing females.

Adults unable to consent

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME)

    Device

    The High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME) take pictures of a very small area of the lining of the mouth, about the size of a pencil tip, but at high magnification.

  • Optical Mapping Scope

    Device

    The optical mapping scope displays a wide area of the lining of the mouth (about the size of the top of a soda can) by shining different colors of light into the mouth and taking pictures.

  • Proflavine hemisulfate

    Drug

    A coloring substance (a fluorescent dye which glows green in the dark), called proflavine hemisulfate, will be painted on areas of the mouth with a cotton tip applicator to help improve the pictures
