About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in detecting lymph nodes that have been invaded by tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study will investigate the accuracy of ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in detecting lymph nodes that have been invaded by tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer. This study will be performed in addition to any ongoing routine care and will not serve as a substitute for any imaging tests that would be routinely performed prior to surgery.

Being tested
Ferumoxytol, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • FerumoxytolDrug

    Also called Feraheme

    All study patients will receive a dose of ferumoxytol for the MRI. Ferumoxytol will be administered intravenously at a dose of 6 mg/kg, for a maximum dose of 510 mg.

  • Magnetic Resonance ImagingOther

    Also called MRI

    All study patients will undergo a ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in addition to any other ongoing care for colorectal cancer. Histopathologic analysis of lymph nodes will be the gold standard for determining lymph node status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ferumoxytol and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Scott Potenta, MD, PhD 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 2 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2016. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Prospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in the setting of colorectal cancer with histopathologic analysis as the gold standard. (time frame: 3 years). 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 20 May 2016.
