About this study

Official title: High Resolution MRI in the Evaluation of Laryngeal Neoplasia

To determine if high resolution MRI can detect early invasion of cartilage by laryngeal carcinoma, and to determine if high resolution MRI may be superior to conventional MRI imaging or CT imaging to detect cartilage invasion.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to use a new MRI imaging coil developed for enhancing structures made of cartilage to determine if the device can produce improved images of the human larynx. In addition, if enhanced images can be obtained, a further purpose will be to determine if, in patients with laryngeal cancer, whether or not early invasion of cartilage can be detected. Patients with laryngeal cancer will be asked to undergone an MRI scan using this new image-enhancing coil to see if cartilage invasion can be detected. Patients will be followed during and after treatment to determine their ultimate response to treatment. No additional MRI scans for the purposes of this protocol will be performed other than the initial pretreatment scan.

We hope to determine if this new MRI imaging device can detect early cancer invasion of the laryngeal cartilages in patients with laryngeal cancer. Since this modality has never been attempted before on the human larynx, we are simply looking for the presence or absence of cartilage destruction. Both conventional CT and conventional MRI are poor at recongnizing this finding. High resolution MRI may allow the detection of this finding or it may not - detection of this finding is the endpoint.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor stage as determined by HRMRI.

    Radiologic tumor stage

    Measured: 24 to 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimate the precision of HRMRI in discriminating between edema and tumor in patients with prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

    Comparison of true tumor dimension as predicted by HRMRI versus true tumor size as shown on final histopathology

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

  2. Tumor stage as determined by histopathology in excised larynges.

    Pathological tumor stage

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing MRI scan in people with Laryngeal Neoplasms and Head and Neck Cancers, run by Stanford University 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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: Absence of key personnel to conduct study). 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?

Tumor stage as determined by HRMRI. (time frame: 24 to 48 hours). 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 5 Oct 2017.
