About this study

Official title: Concordance Between Gynaecologic Sonography Amd Pelvic MRI for the Pre-surgical Diagnosis of Uterine Mesenchymal Malignant Tumors

Determine the concordance between gynaecological sonography and pelvic MRI for the pre-surgical diagnosis of uterine malignant tumors.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis that will be evaluated with this study is the concordance between the sonographic assessment following the terms and definitions to describe uterine pathology proposed by Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) and the pelvic MRI for the pre-surgical diagnosis of malignant mesenchymal uterine tumors in patients affected of symptomatic leiomyomas with clinical or sonographic risk factors for atypical fibroids.

If both explorations have the same efficiency for the diagnosis, one of those should be avoided, diminishing the costs and surgery delay for these patients.

Those women with uterine leiomyoma who present >2 risk factors for uterine malignant mesenchymal tumors OR with sonographic criteria for atypical leiomyoma will be invited to participate in the study and will sign the informed consent.

After this first visit, the patient will undergo a gynecological sonography, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) determination and a pelvic MRI, as it is done in our regular clinical practice.

All explorations will be performed in the same study center and will be done by independent physicians.

Then patients included will be addressed to a second visit to explain the results and surgery planning if it's needed.

One month after the surgery, one last visit will be conducted to perform a post-surgery control and give the final anatomo-pathological report of the surgery specimen. All data will be entered in the database for further analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Pre-surgical diagnosis of uterine malignant tumorsProcedure or surgery

    All patientes who fit inclusion criteria will undergo a gynecologic sonography, pelvic MRI, determination of LDH, as in regular practice. No additional interventions will be done to any patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concordance Between Gynaecologic Sonography Amd Pelvic MRI

    Measured: We expect to recruit 50 patients in 1 year period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine sensibility for sonographic and MRI specific parameters on diagnosis uterine malignant tumors

    Sonographic parameters : Undefined margins, Unique or multiple lesions, Size and Color-score (1,2,3,4) MRI parameters: Heterogenic or intermediate T2 Signal intensity , High or Intermediate b1000 signal, Apparent diffusion parameter <1.23, heterogeneous contrast catchment

    Measured: We expect to recruit 50 patients in 1 year period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leiomyoma and Leiomyosarcoma, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Not enough patients included). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Concordance Between Gynaecologic Sonography Amd Pelvic MRI (time frame: We expect to recruit 50 patients in 1 year period). 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 26 Dec 2023.
