About this study

The purpose of the study is to collect in vivo human image data to demonstrate neurological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of subjects using short pulse sequences.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-site; open-label, prospective research Study involving human subjects. There will be no comparative efficacy or safety analysis and therefore no randomization

Being tested

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
pulse sequence softwareExperimentalThe central aim of this study is to acquire a set of images and associated technical and clinical information to facilitate regulatory submission of the pulse sequences being studied by GEHC. Segment 1 allows to collect a minimum of 10 subjects then evaluate if additional scans/enrollment needed Segment 2 will allow an additional 90 subjects if data needed
Receives: Device: pulse sequences

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Head Images Successfully Collected

    Collect head human images and associated technical and clinical information to demonstrate neurological magnetic resonance imaging of subjects using short pulse sequence.

    Measured: 6-months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulse sequences in people with Clinical Indication for a Head MRI, run by GE Healthcare 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2015. 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 2 Sep 2014). 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?

Number of Head Images Successfully Collected (time frame: 6-months). 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 18 Nov 2015.
