Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The study population will consist of patients with known urologic cancer who are scheduled to undergo MRI with gadolinium for their routine care. Patients will be referred by the Urology or Medical Oncology Departments for participation in the study. Subjects will be selected on the basis of their willingness and ability to participate and on their likelihood of completing the study. Patients agreeing to participate will be presented with a flyer which will inform subject about the available research study and study contact information. participation is entirely voluntary, and a subject may withdraw from the study at any time. Normal volunteers will be recruited accessing the existing database of normal volunteers maintained in Radiology Research department.

Who cannot join

  • Normal MRI exclusion criteria will apply, including those on the following list. A standard MRI safety form will be used to identify potential conditions warranting exclusion.
  • Electrical implants such as cardiac pacemakers or perfusion pumps
  • Ferromagnetic implants such as aneurysm clips, surgical clips, prostheses, artificial heart, valves with steel parts, metal fragments, shrapnel, bullets, tattoos near the eye, or steel implants
  • Ferromagnetic objects such as jewelry or metal clips in clothing
  • Claustrophobia
  • History of seizures

About this study

Official title: Development of a Novel Technique for PET/MRI Tracer Kinetic Analysis for Urologic Pelvic Malignancy

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel technique for integrated PET/MRI tracer kinetic analysis for urologic malignancy.

Read the detailed description

Patients scheduled to undergo gadolinium-enhanced MRI for urologic malignancy will be recruited to undergo PET/MRI employing simultaneous dynamic acquisition of PET and gadolinium-chelate data sets. For initial technical development within this pilot study, analysis will be performed attempting to compute tracer delivery using inputs from an integrated MRI-perfusion analysis. Flow and permeability will be obtained from the MR perfusion analysis, which can be used to compute the inflow rate constant K1. K1, reflecting the transfer of contrast, will then be used to compute the metabolic uptake of FDG by the organ as well as of any visible tumors. A determination will be made whether this metabolic uptake is successfully computed for each case. If not, then acquisition and post-processing modifications will be made for subsequent cases.

What is being measured

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

  1. The inflow rate constant K1

    The inflow rate constant K1 will be calculated based on assessment of dynamic PET/MRI data.

    Measured: Within six months of scan completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/MRI in people with Prostate Cancer and Bladder Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2017. 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?

The inflow rate constant K1 (time frame: Within six months of scan completion). 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 11 Oct 2017.
