Trial summary

A research study of liver perfusion (how blood flows to the liver over time). We hope to learn whether perfusion characteristics of liver masses may be predictive of response to treatment and whether liver perfusion characteristics can be used to follow response to treatment.

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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients must be 18 years or older. Patients must not be pregnant and, if of child-bearing age, must take precautions not to become pregnant.

Inclusion Criteria:3.1.1 Patients with suspected or biopsy-proven liver masses including unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), unresectable colon cancer metastases to the liver, and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors to the liver will be eligible for enrollment.

3.1.2 Patients who have undergone prior chemotherapy more than one year prior to the study are eligible for enrollment.

3.1.4 Patients must be 18 years or older. Patients must not be pregnant and, if of child-bearing age, must take precautions not to become pregnant.

3.1.5 No life expectancy restrictions.

3.1.6 ECOG and Karnofsky Performance Status will not be employed.

3.1.7 Patients with renal failure are ineligible for this study (Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) must be > 60)

3.1.8 Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria:3.2.1 Patients who have undergone prior chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are ineligible for enrollment. Patients who have undergone chemotherapy within one year prior to the study are also ineligible for enrollment.

3.2.2 No restrictions regarding use of other investigational agents.

3.2.3 Patients with severe contrast allergy are ineligible.

3.2.4 Patients who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant are excluded from this study.

3.2.5 Patients who are cancer survivors or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive will not be excluded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predict RECIST response to treatment

    Measured: at 3 months from CT perfusion parameters before and after treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characterize CT perfusion longitudinally in both responders and nonresponders

    Measured: 1 yr

  2. Predict disease progression

    Measured: 1 yr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuroendocrine Tumors and Brain (Nervous System) 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?

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 30 Jan 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: accrual). 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?

Predict RECIST response to treatment (time frame: at 3 months from CT perfusion parameters before and after treatment). 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 30 Jan 2017.
