About this study

Official title: MRI for the Etiological Diagnosis of Orbital Tumours

Orbital masses develop at the expense of the orbital structures lacrimal glands, oculomotor muscles, optic nerve, meningeal spaces, peripheral nerves, bone wall, orbital fat, lymphoid structures or vascular structures. These masses can be tumors, benign or malignant, or pseudotumor, mainly represented by specific or non-specific orbital inflammation.

Pathology is of considerable importance for the diagnosis and the treatment of those masses. However, biopsy or surgical resection of the orbital masses is sometimes difficult and dangerous outside expert centers.

The identification of a non-invasive technique for distinguishing tumors from pseudotumors, thus avoid in some cases a biopsy, would be a major contribution for the patients.

The MRI assessment performed routinely in a patient with an orbital mass includes morphological sequences T1, T2 fat suppression, T1 injected fat suppression, diffusion. This exploration requires, regardless of the performed research, a contrast agent injection (0.1 mg / kg weight of Gadobutrol®).

In this research protocol, during the injection of the contrast agent performed during the MRI assessment performed routinely, a DCE perfusion sequence, which consists of a repeated acquisition at short intervals of a volume gradient echo T1, will be added. This acquisition will be preceded by two short series for calibration. The post treatment will include parametric permeability cards (Ktrans) and plasmatic volume (Vp), evaluating one or more regions of interest in the tumor, normal lacrimal glands, jaw muscles and nasal mucosa being the reference. It will also be added a magnetic susceptibility EPI sequence type. All the qualitative parameters (T1, T2, T1 injected, distribution, low signal intensity in susceptibility) and quantitative (Ktrans, Vp, relative intensity enhancement, apparent diffusion coefficient) parameters will be collected.

The result of the pathological exam of the biopsy or of the surgical specimen, which is the gold-standard, will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity based on the patterns of the intra voxel incoherent motion, the dynamic susceptibility contrast and enhancement, for distinguishing orbital tumors from orbital pseudotumor, the gold standard being the pathological exam.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orbital Tumor and Orbital Pseudotumor, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 16 Apr 2024. 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 France. 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?

Sensitivity and specificity based on the patterns of the intra voxel incoherent motion, the dynamic susceptibility contrast and enhancement, for distinguishing orbital tumors from orbital pseudotumor, the gold standard being the pathological exam. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT02401906, 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 16 Apr 2024.
