About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Examination for Spleen Volume Evaluation in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Comparison With MRI Examination

Adult patients (>18 years) with newly diagnosis of Ph negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) according to WHO 2016 criteria, will be recruited to this study.

This study is the result of the collaboration the Hematology Division of Federico II University Medical School of Naples (Italy), that performed the US investigation and the IRCCS SYNLAB SDN where the patients carried out MR. The study is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. All subjects gave informed consent to receive both US and MR scans of the spleen.

All spleen US scans were performed by the same operator (with>10 years of experience in abdominal US), who used an EPIQ 5 Philips instrument with a 1-5 MHz broadband curvilinear probe. The spleen was scanned in patients who were fasting, in the longitudinal and transverse planes by using an intercostal approach, a subcostal approach, or both.

The patient was placed in a supine or right-sided position until complete organ visualization was achieved. Perimeter, longitudinal diameter (LD), and area, defined as the maximum measurements with splenic borders and angles clearly defined, were measured, and SV (in milliliters) was calculated automatically. For each subject, the mean value of 3 measurements repeated on the same imaging session was calculated and recorded for final analysis. Within two weeks from the US, each patient underwent an MRI of the upper abdomen to evaluate the splenic volume. MRI examinations were performed using a 3T Biograph mMR scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with 4-channel flex phased-array body coil. Routine clinical abdominal MRI acquisition includes coronal T2W Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-shot Turbo spin Echo imaging (HASTE), axial T1 Dual-echo FSE, axial T2 TSE Fat Sat, and an axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The DWI includes an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map that was automatically generated at the time of acquisition. At last, an isotropic 2mm3 axial Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) sequence for SV evaluation was acquired. For the latter, attention was paid to optimize the field of view to the spleen, in order to reduce patient's apnea and possible respiratory artifacts. A radiologist with mote than 10 years of experience in abdominal MRI reporting performed measurement of the three orthogonal diameters of the spleen for each patient. Subsequently, SV was calculated using ITK-SNAP software and semi-automatic 3D segmentation approach, firstly based on a signal threshold.

What participants receive

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

  • ULTRASOUND EXAM AND MRI SCANDiagnostic test

    Within two weeks from the US, each patient underwent an MRI of the upper abdomen to evaluate the splenic volume. MRI examinations were performed using a 3T Biograph mMR scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with 4-channel flex phased-array body coil. Routine clinical abdominal MRI acquisition includes coronal T2W Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-shot Turbo spin Echo imaging (HASTE), axial T1 Dual-echo FSE, axial T2 TSE Fat Sat, and an axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

What is being measured

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

  1. agreement between two different diagnostic methods

    Estimation of Spleen Volume and Longitudinal Diameter obtained with US measurement were compared to that obtained using MRI conducted in a time span of 2 weeks

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm and Polycythemia Vera, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 17 Apr 2024. 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 Italy. 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?

agreement between two different diagnostic methods (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 17 Apr 2024.
