Trial summary

The successful localization of the y90 microspheres by PET/MR and/or PET/CT scans would be a useful tool in individualizing patient care after the radioembolization procedure. The information from a PET/MR or PET/CT scan would allow for early evaluation of the technical success of the procedure. Read more about this study

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PET/MR or PET/CTOther* Patients must have had radioembolization, within 72 hours of the PET/MR or PET/CT * Subjects will be asked to lie still within the scanner for up to 1.5 hours while images are acquired for the liver
Receives: Device: PET/MR; Device: PET/CT

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate y90-PET/MRI and PET/CT for potential on reporting presence of extrahepatic deposition of microspheres

    A diagnostic radiologist and a nuclear medicine physician will evaluate the images and will determine any presence of extrahepatic deposition of microspheres.

    Measured: 1 day (one time event for patient)

  2. Evaluate y90-PET/MRI and PET/CT for potential on reporting technical success of radioembolization

    A diagnostic radiologist and a nuclear medicine physician will evaluate the images and will determine whether technical success of the procedure can be determined. They will rate the images if they are 'adequate' to report on these two measures.

    Measured: 1 day (one time event for patient)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PET/MR and PET/CT in people with Liver Neoplasms, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 6 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 Mar 2018. 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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: Logistics regarding PET/CT portion of 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?

Evaluate y90-PET/MRI and PET/CT for potential on reporting presence of extrahepatic deposition of microspheres (time frame: 1 day (one time event for patient)). 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?
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 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
