What participants receive

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

  • Respiratory-triggered T1w DISCO LAVADevice

    The study will acquire extra image sets using DISCO LAVA with one breath hold during the arterial imaging phase. No additional breath holds will be required.

What is being measured

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

  1. Motion Artifact Scores

    Three investigators will independently evaluate MRI examinations. They will assign motion scores between respiratory triggered and corresponding breath hold acquisitions. 1 = no motion artifact; 2 = minimal motion artifact, no effect on diagnostic quality; 3 = moderate motion artifact with some, but not severe, effect on diagnostic quality; 4 = severe motion artifact, images degraded but interpretable; and 5 = extensive motion artifact, images nondiagnostic.

    Measured: During MRI, up to 60 minutes

  2. Noise Scores

    Three investigators will independently evaluate MRI examinations. They will assign noise scores between respiratory triggered and corresponding breath hold acquisitions. 1 = no noise artifact; 2 = minimal noise artifact, no effect on diagnostic quality; 3 = moderate noise artifact with some, but not severe, effect on diagnostic quality; 4 = severe noise artifact, images degraded but interpretable; and 5 = severe noise artifact, images nondiagnostic.

    Measured: During MRI, up to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory-triggered T1w DISCO LAVA in people with Abdominal MRI, 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 2 Jul 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 May 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Motion Artifact Scores (time frame: During MRI, up to 60 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2018.
