About this study

Official title: Dynamic Contrast Evaluation of the Liver Using Gadoxetate Disodium (Eovist®) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

The purpose of this study is to determine if a new magnetic resonance (MR) protocol is better at diagnosing liver lesions.

Read the detailed description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a form of liver cancer, is the seventh most common cause of cancer mortality in the US. The incidence rate of HCC is increasing along with the incidence of Hepatitis B and C which are known to promote HCC. Patients have a better prognosis (survival outlook) if HCC is found and treated at an early stage. MRI is the best imaging modality for diagnosing HCC.

This study will compare standard MRIs and MRIs performed with a newly developed MR protocol to determine if it is possible to more confidently diagnose HCC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by University of Washington.

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 2 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 14 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Unable to meet enrollment expectations.). 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?

Accuracy of a new MR protocol in diagnosing HCC and other liver lesions. (time frame: One day: participants will have one MRI of the liver.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01215838, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 14 Oct 2013.
