Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate our recently developed MRI reconstruction strategy for producing artifact-free neuro and abdominal MRI data. The new reconstruction strategies, including 1) REKAM and 2) MUSE, are capable of effectively removing motion-related artifacts resulting from global and local motion… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Examining the Clinical Utility of Motion Immune MRI Across Multiple Patient Populations

The purpose of this study is to evaluate our recently developed MRI reconstruction strategy for producing artifact-free neuro and abdominal MRI data. The new reconstruction strategies, including 1) REKAM and 2) MUSE, are capable of effectively removing motion-related artifacts resulting from global and local motion during neuro and free-breathing abdominal MRI scans, without modifying the MRI pulse sequences and protocols that are currently used in clinical scans. The study team aims to recruit 60 subjects across multiple challenge patient populations: 10 healthy young adults (age 20-30) and 10 healthy older adults (aged 50-70) for abdominal MRI, as well as 20 tremor dominant PD patients and 20 children (age 4-8) for brain MRI scans. There are no known risks in taking MRIs and a unique code will be assigned to each participant to protect their PHI.

What participants receive

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

  • Multiplex Sensitivity Encoding (MUSE)Device

    It is an algorithm for MRI post-processing/image reconstruction (see reference: Chen).

What is being measured

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

  1. Rating of image quality (based on 8 criteria) by multiple radiologists (blind to reconstruction method)

    The ratings will be compared to compare the quality of images processed with MUSE versus conventional reconstruction methods

    Measured: 1 day (At time of image analysis)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Duke University 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 Aug 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?

Rating of image quality (based on 8 criteria) by multiple radiologists (blind to reconstruction method) (time frame: 1 day (At time of image analysis)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02302521, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2017.
