Trial summary

The goal of the trial is to assess the effect of radiation treatment on liver function as determined by indocyanine green extraction. The long term goal is to determine if individual assessment of liver function using the IC-Green method, either alone or in combination with other factors, will provide Radiation… Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of the trial is to assess the effect of radiation treatment on liver function as determined by indocyanine green extraction. The long term goal is to determine if individual assessment of liver function using the IC-Green method, either alone or in combination with other factors, will provide Radiation Induced Liver Disease (RILD) risk-estimates that are superior to the probabilistic method currently in use.

Read the detailed description

Following intravenous injection, IC-GREEN is rapidly bound to plasma protein, of which albumin is the principle carrier (95%). IC-GREEN is taken up from the plasma almost exclusively by the hepatic parenchymal cells and is secreted entirely into the bile. It undergoes no significant extrahepatic or enterohepatic circulation. Simultaneous arterial and venous blood estimations have shown negligible renal, peripheral, lung or cerebro-spinal uptake of the dye. Therefore, the serum clearance rate (determined from serial serum concentration measurements at various times after intravenous injection) can serve as a useful index of liver function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline IC-GREEN elimination

    Most subjects will have five IC-GREEN assessments. Graphical displays will be used to choose the form of a time-dependent model of IC-GREEN elimination. A mixed, possibly nonlinear model, with patient as random effect, will be fit to the data by the maximum likelihood principle. Profile confidence intervals for the parameters will be determined.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in IC-green elimination after radiation therapy

    Using model parameters, a cumulative distribution function for IC-GREEN elimination at each time point will be determined from the patients who do not contract RILD. This will result in a smooth estimate of the IC-GREEN assay results, from which lower normal bounds (at, for instance, the fifth percentile) can be established.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatic Irradiation, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 20 May 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?

Baseline IC-GREEN elimination (time frame: 1 day). 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 20 May 2020.
