Trial summary

The diagnosis of abuse in children relies heavily on the presence of skeletal and extraskeletal injuries. However, some lesions are not seen by initial skeletal survey. And the investigators have to complete the skeletal survey with either bone-scan or CT scan or whole-body MRI. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Utility of Whole-body MRI (STIR and Diffusion Weighted) in the Detection of Traumatic Injuries of Undetermined Origin in Children

The diagnosis of abuse in children relies heavily on the presence of skeletal and extraskeletal injuries. However, some lesions are not seen by initial skeletal survey. And the investigators have to complete the skeletal survey with either bone-scan or CT scan or whole-body MRI. whole-body MRI has proved its worth in the pediatric population for the evaluation of skeletal and extraskeletal lesions in children with cancer or infectious diseases. Thus, whole-body MRI would allowed to have total picture of children without ionising radiation exposure.

What is being measured

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

  1. sensibility of MRI for detecting skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

  2. positive predictive value of MRI for detecting skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. sensibility of MRI for detecting children with skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

  2. specificity of MRI for detecting children with skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

  3. predictive positive value of MRI for detecting children with skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

  4. predictive negative value of MRI for detecting children with skeletal injuries

    standard skeletal imaging is used as reference

    Measured: one week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing diagnostic whole body MRI in people with Traumatic Injuries, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 24 May 2023. 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 France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

sensibility of MRI for detecting skeletal injuries (time frame: one week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01743703, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 May 2023.
