About this study

Official title: 4D PET/CT Imaging in Lung and Colorectal Cancer With Liver Metastasis

This trial studies how well 4 dimensional (D) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works in diagnosing participants with lung or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and lung. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may help find and diagnose disease and find out how far the disease has spread. But the motions made by breathing can reduce the image quality of the scan. Adjusting the scanner to 4D may allow for more breathing motion may improve the quality of the PET/CT images.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Study the impact of 4D positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging on the evaluation and staging of lung and colorectal cancer.

OUTLINE:

Participants undergo 4D PET/CT scan over up to 12 minutes.

Being tested
4-Dimensional Computed Tomography, 4D PET Scan
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms, Lung Neoplasms

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diagnostic (4D PET/CT)Participants undergo 4D PET/CT scan over up to 12 minutes.
Receives: Procedure: 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography; Procedure: 4D PET Scan

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum lesion standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for gated and ungated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans

    Will be compared using a one-sided paired t-test.

    Measured: Up to 10 years

  2. Impact of the difference in SUVmax on the lesion detectability and staging of the evaluated patients

    two nuclear medicine physicians will assess the impact of the difference in SUVmax on the lesion detectablility and staging of the evaluated patients.

    Measured: Up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Lung, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum lesion standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for gated and ungated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans (time frame: Up to 10 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2020.
