About this study

Official title: Hybrid PET/MR in the Therapy of Cervical Cancer: A Pilot Study

This is a two arm, single center feasibility study of 20 patients with non-metastatic cervical cancer managed with surgery and/or chemoradiation therapy at UNC Hospitals. Subjects will undergo PET/MRI scans before, during (chemoradiation group only), and after treatment.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining complete and interpretable hybrid PET/MR images for patients diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Being tested
FDG PET/MR
Medical subject headings
Uterine Cervical Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FDG PET/MRProcedure or surgery

    Also called FDG Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Scan

    Participants will undergo a FDG, gadolinium enhanced PET/MR scan.

Study groups in NCT01759355
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SurgeryParticipants undergoing surgical intervention will receive a PET/MR scan prior and following surgery for a total of two (2) scans.
Receives: Procedure: FDG PET/MR
ChemoradiationParticipants undergoing chemoradiation intervention will receive a PET/MR scan prior, during, and following chemoradiation for a total of three (3) scans.
Receives: Procedure: FDG PET/MR

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who successfully complete PET/MR scans at all study time-points

    Measured: 2-3 months post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensitivity of PET/MR for baseline disease assessment

    Estimated proportion of subjects with disease (positive pathology or PET/CT) that have positive PET/MR scans.

    Measured: pre-treatment

  2. Specificity of hybrid PET/MR for baseline disease assessment

    Proportion of subjects without disease (negative pathology or PET/CT) that have negative PET/MR scans.

    Measured: pre-treatment

  3. Accuracy of hybrid PET/MR for baseline disease assessment

    Proportion of correct assessments among total population

    Measured: pre-treatment

  4. Detection of disease with PET/MR at each time point

    Measured: pre-treatment to 2-3 months post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervix Carcinoma and Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 3 Dec 2021. 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 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?

Proportion of patients who successfully complete PET/MR scans at all study time-points (time frame: 2-3 months post-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 3 Dec 2021.
