About this study

Official title: Whole-Body 3D T1-weighted MR Imaging Anatomical Sequences: GE mDixon vs FSE (View) Approaches in Prostate Cancer. Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of GE mDixon and FSE, for Bone and Node Staging in Patients With Prostate Cancer.

This study will assess and compare the diagnostic performances and image quality of two WB 3D T1-weighted MR imaging sequences for bone and node staging in patients with prostate cancer : the FSE sequence and a gradient echo (GE) sequence. The latter sequence's main feature is its acquisition time of approximately 1.5 minutes, compared to 18 min for the FSE sequence, reducing the exam's acquisition time, patient discomfort and increasing machine availability.

Read the detailed description

Whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has increasingly been used for the screening of bone and soft-tissue metastases in patients with prostate cancer (1). A limitation for its implementation is the 45-60 minutes duration of current WB MRI examinations. Conventional WB MR imaging studies consisted of anatomical two-dimensional (2D) T1-weighted and fat-suppressed fluid-sensitive (proton-density fat-saturated (PDFS) or short-tau inversion-recovery (STIR)) and of a functional diffusion-weighted imaging sequence. Recent research has confirmed the feasibility of replacing the 2D anatomical sequences by a single three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted fast spin echo (FSE) sequence (2).

This study will assess and compare the diagnostic performances and image quality of two WB 3D T1-weighted MR imaging sequences for bone and node staging in patients with prostate cancer : the FSE sequence and a gradient echo (GE) sequence. The latter sequence's main feature is its acquisition time of approximately 1.5 minutes, compared to 18 min for the FSE sequence, reducing the exam's acquisition time, patient discomfort and increasing machine availability.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the replacement of the WB 3D T1-weighted FSE MR imaging sequence by the WB 3D T1-weighted GE MR imaging sequence.

What participants receive

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

  • Diagnostic performance 3D T1Diagnostic test

    Although non-invasive, the prospective addition of a new MRI sequence to a routine MRI protocol is considered by our ethical committee as an "interventional" study.

Study groups in NCT03034070
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diagnostic performance 3D T1OtherA 3D T1-weighted GE mDixon MR imaging sequence will be added to the routine 3D T1-weighted FSE sequence. mDixon sub-sequences (Fat and In Phase) are compared to 3D T1-weighted FSE in terms of diagnostic accuracy for M and N staging in prostate cancer patients: Fat, In Phase, Fat+In Phase and the routine 3D T1 will be analyzed separately, blindly and randomly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performances of 3D GE T1 sub-sequences

    Sensitivity, sensibility, positive and negative Predictive Values (PV) will be calculated with the results of each reading, and compared.

    The physical parameters of the different techniques will also be compared (Signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, ...).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diagnostic performance 3D T1 in people with Prostate Adenocarcinoma and Metastasis, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 May 2019. 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 Belgium. 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?

Diagnostic performances of 3D GE T1 sub-sequences (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03034070, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 10 May 2019.
