Trial summary

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether functional MRI imaging (diffusion weighted imaging) is useful for monitoring the therapeutic response of bone sarcomas in children and young adults. All patients will be scanned before, during and after chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether functional MRI imaging (diffusion weighted imaging) is useful for monitoring the therapeutic response of bone sarcomas in children and young adults. All patients will be scanned before, during and after chemotherapy. The findings on MRI will be correlated with histological finding after surgery.

Second purpose : to define apparent diffusion coefficient value of the bone sarcoma.

Third purpose : to try define prognostic factors, to investigate if there is a correlation between early treatment response and outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • MRIOther

    MRI exam will be performed in all patients included in the study. The patients will be treated by chemotherapy, defined in the EURO-EWING or EURAMOS protocol.

    The MR findings will not have any impact on the treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. tumor necrosis - therapy response

    correlation of MRI findings with clinical findings during chemotherapy correlation of diffusion weighted MRI and histopathology results after surgical resection.

    Calculation of apparent diffusion coefficient : is it a valuable parameter?

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prognosis and outcome

    Is there a correlation between early treatment response and outcome? Is diffusion weighted MRI able to predict outcome of the patient (prognostic factor)?

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ewing Sarcoma and Osteosarcoma, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Steven Pans, MD (3216340505, steven.pans@uzleuven.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumor necrosis - therapy response (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 31 Jan 2013.
