  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Only patients who are referred by their physician to have a clinical PET/CT will be eligible to participate in the study
  • we propose to obtain a second PET/MRI on 100 patients after their clinical PET/CT imaging that spans several disease categories and includes the following cancers: lung, colon, melanoma, head/neck and lymphoma
  • In addition to oncology patients, we anticipate imaging a subset of non-cancer patients who will also be imaged subsequent to their clinical PET/CT who will be referrals from neurology and cardiology

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who do not meet the above inclusion criteria
  • Subjects unwilling or unable to sign the informed consent form
  • Subjects who are cognitively impaired and thus unable to give informed consent
  • Subjects unable to undergo MRI scanning due to exclusion via University Hospital Case Medical Center (UHCMC) MRI restrictions (e.g. implanted metallic or electronic devices, hip or other joint replacements, history of kidney disease, unacceptable creatinine or glomerular filtration rate [GFR], etc)

About this study

Official title: Evaluating Attenuation Correction Methods Applied to PET/MRI

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients undergoing PET/computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help doctors diagnose cancer or help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To acquire PET/MRI scans of 100 patients which will be compared with PET/CT scans of the same subjects. The PET/CT scans will be used to provide the gold standard for evaluating the image quality and quantitative performance of the PET/MRI scans. After comparison and evaluation of the imaging capabilities and performance of the sequential PET/MRI imaging system for these 100 subjects, a second cohort of hundred consecutive subjects may be necessary and again comparisons made to the current standard of PET imaging, PET/CT. This validation of the attenuation correction methods and quantitative accuracy of the PET/MRI device compared to PET/CT will be a continuous iterative process that will result in optimized performance of the PET/MRI and will be a key step in its becoming available to other clinical research projects both within the Seidman Cancer Center as well as in other institutions.

OUTLINE:

After undergoing standard PET/CT, patients undergo PET/MRI.

Being tested
magnetic resonance imaging with positron emission tomography scanning
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Head and Neck Neoplasms, Lung Neoplasms, Lymphoma, Neoplasms, Melanoma

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • magnetic resonance imaging with positron emission tomography scanningDevice

    Also called FDG-PET, PET, PET scan, tomography, emission computed

    University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center [SCC] will house the Philips Ingenuity TF PET/MR, which is a hybrid scanner that merges magnetic resonance imaging with positron emission tomography scanning. University Hospitals is one of only five hospitals in the world with this technology. The PET/MRI system consists of two imaging scanners used sequentially as in PET/CT. The 3Tesla MRI component provides the high resolution that is necessary for soft tissue contrast and functional information on perfusion, diffusion, or metabolism. PET provides information about cellular metabolism and receptor status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) on PET/CT Compared to PET/MRI

    SUVs for various normal tissues such as liver, cardiac blood pool, and bone will be used. Selected lesions will be assessed as well. Maximum and mean SUVs will be measured for each imaging device. The SUVs and tumor/background ratios will be measured.

    Measured: After PET/MRI

  2. Individual Quality Scores, Comprised of Various Qualities of the Image and Include Contrast, Brightness, Resolution, Etc.

    A Likert five point scale will be used. Quality scores will be compared using a Wilcoxon signed rank test.

    Measured: After PET/MRI

  3. Comparison of Quality Scores (PET/CT vs PET/MRI), Comprised of Various Qualities of the Image and Include Contrast, Brightness, Resolution, Etc.

    A Likert five point scale will be used. Quality scores will be compared using a Wilcoxon signed rank test.

    Measured: After PET/MRI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing magnetic resonance imaging with positron emission tomography scanning in people with Colon Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Feb 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) on PET/CT Compared to PET/MRI (time frame: After PET/MRI). The study lists 3 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 24 Feb 2020.
