Testing a light sensor for muscle health in breast and gynecological cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure how well your muscles use oxygen. Researchers want to learn if this tool can help monitor muscle health in people with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (no metastasis).
- You are able to ride a stationary bike at a moderate pace for up to 15 minutes.
- Your hemoglobin level (a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen) must be above 10 at the start of the study.
- Your liver function tests (ALT and AST) must be within a certain safe range (less than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal).
- You are not very sedentary — you should have a score of 14 or higher on a short physical activity questionnaire.

This study looks at how cell energy (mitochondria) relates to a person's ability to bounce back during treatment for advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. If you qualify, you'll have tissue and blood samples analyzed alongside standard therapy to help find why some people handle treatment better than others.
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
This study tests a tiny sensor that measures oxygen levels in muscle. It will help researchers understand how oxygen is used during exercise. If you have mitochondrial myopathy or are a healthy volunteer, you might be able to join.
This study looks at how well the muscles use oxygen during exercise in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It aims to help understand and improve fitness for survivors.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light test (called MSOT) to help diagnose and monitor children with muscle or nerve diseases. It aims to find better ways to track these conditions without needles or radiation.
This study tests a new type of self-powered light sensor that may one day be used to monitor health. Researchers want to see how well it works when placed on your skin.
