About this study

Official title: Diagnostic and Clinical Accuracy of Integrated Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography Perfusion in PET/MRI in Comparison to PET/CT in Solid Tumors

Diagnostic comparison between PET/CT and PET/MRI with integrated perfusion measurement in CT and MR. Study aim is to gain knowledge about additional value of CT perfusion and MR perfusion in solid tumors concerning tumor physiology, diagnostic accuracy and possibly prognostic.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of blood flow, blood volume and transfer constant (Ktrans) with CT-Perfusion and PET/MR-perfusion in solid tumors.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation of blood flow, blood volume and transfer constant (Ktrans) measured with CT-Perfusion and PET/MR-perfusion with progression free survival in solid tumors.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CT Perfusion and MRI Perfusion in Solid Tumors, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 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 Switzerland. 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 stopped early (reason given: Slow enrolment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measurement of blood flow, blood volume and transfer constant (Ktrans) with CT-Perfusion and PET/MR-perfusion in solid tumors. (time frame: 18 months). 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 16 Dec 2016.
