About this study

Advanced MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technique called DCE (Dynamic Contrast Enhanced) and DWI MRI can provide valuable information regarding tumor biology and response to treatment through various parameters. Validating stability of these parameters will further establish robustness and reliability of these promising biomarkers.

  • DCE MRIOther

Study groups in NCT02201797
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DCE and DWI MRIExperimentalMRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2 must be completed no less than 2 calendar days (to ensure 24 hours for clearance of gadolinium) and no greater than 14 days apart, and both must be completed prior to new treatment initiation. The same MRI unit and configuration must be used for MRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2.
Receives: Other: DCE MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. repeatability coefficient (RC)

    Repeatability coefficient of Ktrans, Kep, Ve, IAUGC60, and ADC value of the index tumor will be measured.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DCE MRI in people with Metastatic Liver Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 24 Jun 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

repeatability coefficient (RC) (time frame: one year). 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 Jun 2015.
