About this study

This project investigates the feasibility of assessing the relative blood volume of carcinomas in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases from pancreatic or colorectal cancer compared to normal liver from DynaCT acquisitions on an interventional platform.

Read the detailed description

This project will enroll patients with non-diffuse liver disease who are candidates for chemo or radioembolization to treat or manage the disease during an image guided intervention. Subjects will undergo a CT perfusion study of the liver prior to the radioembolizaiton mapping procedure or prior to the chemoembolization treatment. During the radioembolization mapping or chemoembolization procedure, 2 DynaCT acquisitions on the interventional C-arm will be acquired (the second during an injection of an iodinated contrast material) and will be processed using Siemens' PBV software to generate blood volume maps. The diagnostic accuracy of the two approaches to assess the vascularity of the tumors will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of PBV maps

    The accuracy of the DynaCT BV protocol as an indicator of healthy vs. liver tumor compared to the body CT perfusion study will evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic curve.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Relationship between blood volume values and patient treatment response

    The relationship between the BV values obtained by both methods and treatment response (as measured by RECIST values) will be evaluated by a logistic regression model

    Measured: 1,4,7,13,19 months

  2. PBV blood volume value accuracy

    A Spearman's correlation coefficient will be used to test the rank-based correlation of the BV values in tumor from the DynaCT BV acquisition to the body CT perfusion values. Furthermore, a paired t-test will be used to test for differences in BV using the two approaches.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Metastatic Carcinoma to the Liver, run by Rush University Medical 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 8 Oct 2020. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of PBV maps (time frame: 1 year). 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 8 Oct 2020.
