Trial summary

When we acquired MR images of the prostate gland using a coil (receiver antenna) inside the rectum, we can see areas with tumour in the prostate gland, and well as details of the anatomy. The coil inside the rectum changes the shape of the prostate gland. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Development of a Prostate Deformation Model to Enable Accurate Registration of Endorectal Coil Magnetic Resonance Images (ERC-MRI) to Reference Treatment Planning CT Images

When we acquired MR images of the prostate gland using a coil (receiver antenna) inside the rectum, we can see areas with tumour in the prostate gland, and well as details of the anatomy. The coil inside the rectum changes the shape of the prostate gland. In order to use this images to help target radiation therapy to the tumour better, we need to deform the images to the original shape of the prostate gland without the coil. In this study, we will develop a way to deform the images accurately.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary aim of this study is to develop a prostate deformation model using the finite element method from anatomic MR images of the prostate gland acquired with and without ERC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Endorectal Coil Magnetic Resonance Images in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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 11 Aug 2010. 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 Canada. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

The primary aim of this study is to develop a prostate deformation model using the finite element method from anatomic MR images of the prostate gland acquired with and without ERC.. 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 11 Aug 2010.
