Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients seen at Washington University School of Medicine

Who may be able to join

  • Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age
  • Participant can be a male or a non-pregnant female.
  • Successful completion of MRI screening form
  • Participant must have undergone a PET/CT examination with injection of a standard dose of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) or other PET tracer with a half-life greater than one hour either for clinical or research purposes within 3 hrs of the proposed PET-MRI examination.
  • Participant will be fully informed and has personally signed and dated the written Informed Consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provisions

Who cannot join

  • Subjects for whom exposure to a strong magnetic field would be a health risk (e.g., subjects with cardiac pacemakers or non-MR compatible metallic implants)
  • Women who are pregnant.
  • Subjects who require sedation to participate will be excluded.
  • Patient/participant has a medical condition which in the judgment of the investigator might make supine positioning for the duration of the scan unsafe, such as (but not limited to) congestive heart failure or significant pulmonary disease.

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

  • Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET-MRI)Device

    Also called PET/MR, PET/MRI

    FDA approved scanner

Study groups in NCT03423407
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PET/MR* Participants will be scanned on a PET-MRI scanner which is FDA-approved and will operate within FDA-approved guidelines. * Participants will be asked to lie still within the scanner for up to 90 minutes
Receives: Device: Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET-MRI)

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the impact of MR acquisition correction sequences for attenuation correction on PET quantitation accuracy

    -PET images from PET/MRI with the MR derived attenuation correction will be compared to images generated with the CT attenuation correction from the standard of care PET/CT scan.

    Measured: At the time of the MRI scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PET/CT, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 16 May 2022. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient funding/staff). 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?

Measure the impact of MR acquisition correction sequences for attenuation correction on PET quantitation accuracy (time frame: At the time of the MRI scan). 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 May 2022.
