About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study to Determine Utility of 19F MRI for Regional Pulmonary Function Assessment in Patients Receiving Thoracic Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficiency of incorporating 19F MR functional lung imaging into the routine assessment of lung cancer patients prior to thoracic radiotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

Determine feasibility by evaluating if:

PO1: Patients diagnosed with lung cancer are able to successfully complete pre- and post-radiotherapy 19F MR imaging scans as scheduled.

Secondary Objective:

Determine efficiency by evaluating if:

SO1: Determine efficiency by evaluating if 19F MRI data can be successfully analyzed and incorporated into the radiation planning system.

SO2: Determine efficiency by evaluating if the incorporated 19F MRI functional data can be successfully used to generate radiotherapy plan in a timely manner.

SO3: Determine if pre- and post radiotherapy 19F MRI scans can be readily compared to observe changes in pulmonary function.

Hypotheses Investigators hypothesize that functional 19F MR imaging assessment is feasible in the lung cancer patient population and that the acquired images can be efficiently analyzed and integrated into radiotherapy planning.

What participants receive

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

  • Perfluorinated Gas/Oxygen MixtureDrug

    Also called Perfluorinated Propane Imaging

    19-Fluorine (19F) MRI of the lungs with 21%/79% Oxygen/Perfluorinated Gas, ≤ 25 liters, gas and Mixture of 30% perfluoropropane and 70% oxygen to measure perfusion single visit, < 1 hour

Patients diagnosed with Lung cancerOtherpatients diagnosed with Lung cancer and Thoracic radiotherapy
Receives: Drug: Perfluorinated Gas/Oxygen Mixture

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of study patients consented (maximum 8)in order to result in 5 patients successfully completing both 19F functional MR imaging data sets

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Proportion of study patients that successfully return for a re-assessment 19F MRI scan after completing radiotherapy.

    Measured: 6 weeks after completing RT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Perfluorinated Gas/Oxygen Mixture in people with Lung Cancer, run by Hal C Charles 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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Number of study patients consented (maximum 8)in order to result in 5 patients successfully completing both 19F functional MR imaging data sets (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 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 16 Jul 2019.
