Magnetic Resonance Study of Liver in Chemotherapy
An observational study of Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to see whether magnetic resonance (MR) techniques can detect changes caused by chemotherapy in the livers of patients who have been treated for colorectal cancer. Some patients who undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer may experience side-effects in their livers. Read more about this study

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 21 years and older
- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Adult, Older adult
Study population: There will be a total of 20 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, 20 patients with non-metastatic colorectal cancer and 11 healthy volunteers.
Who may be able to join
- Provide written informed consent.
- 21 years of age or older.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma (patients only).
- Resected primary colorectal cancer and no metastatic disease or primary colorectal cancer with no metastatic disease and planned resection after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or metastatic colorectal carcinoma considered by the attending physician to have resectable or potentially resectable hepatic metastases (patients only). Each patient will be staged by his/her attending physician in the Department of Medicine or Surgery. Hepatic metastases are considered resectable if they are expected to be completely removable with negative margins by a procedure that leaves behind sufficient liver parenchyma with arterial/portal blood supply, venous drainage and biliary drainage for subsequent regeneration and survival. Potentially resectable indicates that a reduction in tumor size due to chemotherapy could render the tumors resectable.
Who cannot join
- Inability to cooperate for an MR exam.
- Contraindication to MR:
- Pacemaker
- Aneurysmal clips
- Any ferrous metallic implants which could be deflected by the magnet
- Metal implants in field of view which could distort the images and spectroscopy data
Show all 9Show fewer
- Pregnant women
- Age and mental status wherein he/she is unable to cooperate for MR study
- Patients who are considered to have unresectable hepatic metastases will be excluded. Hepatic metastases are considered unresectable if their removal would leave behind insufficient liver parenchyma for subsequent regeneration and survival. In addition, hepatic metastases are considered unresectable if their removal would be expected to leave behind residual disease (positive margins). Also, patients are considered unresectable if they have any comorbid conditions which would jeopardize successful recovery from hepatic resection.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to see whether magnetic resonance (MR) techniques can detect changes caused by chemotherapy in the livers of patients who have been treated for colorectal cancer. Some patients who undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer may experience side-effects in their livers. These side effects may influence further treatment options. If this study finds that MR techniques detect changes in the liver due to chemotherapy, then MR methods may eventually be used to help patients and physicians plan further treatment.
Read the detailed description
Each patient will have 4 MR exams: prior to or within one week of the start of the chemotherapy regimen, one after 6 weeks of chemotherapy, a third after completion of chemotherapy (between 12 and 24 weeks post-initiation of chemotherapy) and a long term followup study at least 4 months after the completion of chemotherapy. Normal volunteers will be recruited and studied by MR for comparison to patient data.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Magnetic ResonanceOther
Patients each will undergo 4 MR examinations as part of this research study.
Magnetic ResonanceOther
You will have two MR exams on two different days. There will be no injection of contrast material. An MR exam requires about 1 hour. The second MR exam will take place 2-3 weeks after the first one. This second MR exam will take about 1 hour and will look at whether the results from the MR exams are reliable and repeatable.

What does the primary outcome measure?
To determine whether magnetic resonance techniques can detect changes in normal liver morphology and metabolism caused by chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 9 May 2016.
