Trial summary

Asthma is a disease of small airways. Affected areas have reduced lung ventilation causing reflex vasoconstriction. MR perfusion imaging of the lungs is a sensitive method of imaging zonal lung perfusion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: MR Perfusion Imaging in Asthmatic Patients

Asthma is a disease of small airways. Affected areas have reduced lung ventilation causing reflex vasoconstriction. MR perfusion imaging of the lungs is a sensitive method of imaging zonal lung perfusion.

Read the detailed description

A cohort of 70 Asthmatic Patients and 10 controls, both sets of subjects have HRCT, MRI/A of the Thorax, and Pulmonary Function Tests to correlate the degree of pulmonary dysfunction with findings on imaging tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thorax in people with Asthma, 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: no funding). 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?

The correlation of MR lung perfusion analysis with computed tomography (CT) findings and pulmonary function tests. 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 Jun 2024.
