Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a new type of CT computer program(MeVis™)to accurately analyze and measure the size and changes in metastatic Liver and Lung tumors. This study will evaluate the data from current CT evaluation methods using the MeVis™ 3-D software. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a new type of CT computer program(MeVis™)to accurately analyze and measure the size and changes in metastatic Liver and Lung tumors. This study will evaluate the data from current CT evaluation methods using the MeVis™ 3-D software.

Read the detailed description

This is a Pilot Study that will evaluate if metastatic liver and lung tumor measurements made by the MeVis™ software program can provide more accurate information about the size and changes of the tumor compared to the current evaluation method, RECIST(Response Evaluation In Solid Tumors). This study will also collect information about the kind of treatment each subject receives.

Subjects will receive standard of care surveillance CT examinations(a baseline to document tumor size and interval CT exams as indicated by the Oncology Department Protocols); the tumor will be measured according to the current standard-RECIST by Radiology personnel not involved in the study. The CT data will then be analyzed by investigators using the MeVis™ software.

What is being measured

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

  1. This Study Assessed the Ability of MeVis™ Volumetry Software to Reproducibly Measure the Changes in Metastatic Hepatic and Pulmonary Lesions

    Due to the low enrollment for this project the data collected is not sufficient to provide any significant conclusion to the primary outcome hypothesis.

    Due to lack of participants. No significant findings are reported at this time.

    Measured: As long as treatment is being assessed by CT examinations

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tumor Size Will be Measured by CT (by the MeVis Volumetry Software and Correlated With On-going Treatment Plan.

    Tumor size will be measured by CT (by the MeVis Volumetry Software and correlated with on-going treatment plan.

    Correlation of the tumor growth with clinical treatment will be assessed. Tumor size will be expressed in volume. Specifically Three dimensional volume Volume of Interest(VOI)will be calculated and correlated with the treatment protocol. Measure = tumor volume.

    Measured: As long as treatment is being assessed by CT examinations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Cancer, run by Lahey Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 10 May 2013. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jul 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

This Study Assessed the Ability of MeVis™ Volumetry Software to Reproducibly Measure the Changes in Metastatic Hepatic and Pulmonary Lesions (time frame: As long as treatment is being assessed by CT examinations). 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 10 May 2013.
