  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Presence of suspicious lesion of the pancreas consistent with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Cytological confirmation is not required.
  • Patients preparing to receive therapy for pancreas cancer, including patients enrolled in NCT01413022
  • Patient must be 18 years or older
  • Patient must have a life expectancy of more than 6 months and performance status of 2 or less
  • Patient must be able to understand and willing to sign an approved written informed consent document
  • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the length of the study

Who cannot join

  • Patient must not have had prior resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • Patient must not have a history of other malignancy less than or equal to 5 years previous with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin which were treated with local resection only or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • Patient must not be unable to receive a PET-MRI scan due to renal function, allergy or other problem with receiving or tolerating an MRI scan, etc. All patients will fill out a standard MRI screening form.
  • Patients must not have a blood glucose of greater than or equal to 200mg/dL at the time of PET-MRI or if a patient is diabetic and glucose is not controlled. At the discretion of the PI and the authorized user and with their approval prior to 2-[18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) injection, patients with blood glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL may participate in the study.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Novel Imaging Modality Simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) in Patients With Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This study will use PET/MRI in patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas to identify hidden metastatic disease or identify patients with borderline or locally advanced disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive a PET/MRI scan within 6 weeks of their standard of care imaging. There is no maximum number of scans for research. The number of scans depends on each patient's treatment plan.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET/MRI compared to conventional CT and MRI

    Primary outcome is to determine if the primary tumor and the margins of anatomical land marks from the PET/MRI imaging is more precise and gives a clearer picture of tumor location than standard care, CT or MRI. Both standard of care imaging and this new technology will be compared to the final pathologic analysis, measuring the true distance (in mm) between the primary tumor and margins. Data will be reported as mm.

    Measured: Up to several months or longer. Patient will undergo research imaging with each standard of care scan they have.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Resectability post neoadjuvant treatment

    The secondary outcome is to determine if PET/MRI imaging is better than standard of care imaging (CT or MRI) after patients have received chemotherapy and to determine if they are surgical candidates. The objective is to determine if the primary tumor and the margins of anatomical land marks from the PET/MRI imaging is more precise and gives a clearer picture of tumor location than standard care, CT or MRI. Both standard of care imaging and this new technology will be compared to the final pathologic analysis, measuring the true distance (in mm) between the primary tumor and margins. Data will be reported as mm.

    Measured: Several months or as deemed a surgical candidate by physician.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/MRI in people with Adenocarcinoma Pancreas, 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 25 Jun 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.

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?

PET/MRI compared to conventional CT and MRI (time frame: Up to several months or longer. Patient will undergo research imaging with each standard of care scan they have.). 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 25 Jun 2018.
