About this study

Official title: Evaluation of PET-MRI in Initial Staging of High Grade Rectal Cancer Patients and in the Follow up of Colorectal Cancer Patients.

This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET-computed tomography (CT) as diagnostic imaging in patients with colon and/or rectal cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as PET-MRI, may help find and diagnose rectal cancer or recurrence of colorectal cancer

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test the diagnostic performance of PET- MRI in the staging of preoperative high-grade rectal cancer patients, defined by T3 stage or higher or N1 stage or higher or presence of metastasis, that are referred to PET-CT and MRI.

II. To test the diagnostic performance of PET-MRI the follow up of colorectal cancer patients that are referred to PET-CT with or without a diagnostic MRI request by their physicians.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test different attenuation correction MR sequences and novel diagnostic MR sequences.

OUTLINE:

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) in Physiologic Regions and Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Avid Lesions in Participants Where PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI

    SUV max in physiologic regions (blood pool, liver) and FDG avid lesions, in which the PET-CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI. SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

  2. Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) in Physiologic Regions and FDG Avid Lesions in Participants Where PET-MRI Was Performed Prior to the PET-CT

    SUV max in physiologic regions (blood pool, liver) and FDG avid lesions, in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT. SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  3. SUVmax in Which the PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI.

    SUVmax in FDG avid lesions in which the PET/CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI.

    SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  4. SUVmax in Which the PET-MRI Was Performed Prior to the PET-CT

    SUVmax in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  5. SUVmax Ratio in Which the PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI

    SUVmax ratio in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI

    SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  6. SUVmax Ratio in Which the PET-MRI Was Performed Prior to the PET-CT

    SUVmax ratio in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT SUVmax is defined as [tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)]/[injected dose (MBq/g)]

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  7. True Positive Rate

    True positive rate for both modalities - TP/TP+FN

    TP = true positives FN = False negatives

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  8. True Negative Rate

    True negative rate for both modalities - TN/TN+FP

    TN = true negatives FP = False positives

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  9. False Negative Rate

    False negative rate for both modalities - FN/FN+TP

    FN = False negatives TP = true positives

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  10. Proportion of Lesions Identified by PET-CT That Were Correctly Detected by PET-MRI

    On a per-lesion basis, proportion of lesions identified by PET-CT that were correctly detected by PET-MRI

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  11. Positive Predictive Values for PET-CT and PET-MRI

    Percent of true positive rate of diagnostic accuracy.

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

  12. Negative Predictive Values for PET-CT and PET-MRI

    Percent of true negative rate of diagnostic accuracy

    Measured: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positron emission tomography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in people with Recurrent Colon Cancer and Recurrent Rectal 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 18 May 2021. 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 18 May 2021). 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?

Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) in Physiologic Regions and Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Avid Lesions in Participants Where PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI (time frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)). The study lists 12 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 18 May 2021.
