Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the diagnostic performance of whole body (WB) MR-PET for staging rectal cancer, compared with current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI) to investigate clinical feasibility of WB MR-PET as a one-stop preoperative imaging modality in patients with rectal… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Imaging for Rectal Cancer Staging Using Whole Body MR-PET

The purpose of this study is to measure the diagnostic performance of whole body (WB) MR-PET for staging rectal cancer, compared with current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI) to investigate clinical feasibility of WB MR-PET as a one-stop preoperative imaging modality in patients with rectal cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • MR-PETProcedure or surgery

    whole body MR-PET with dedicated liver+rectal protocol

What is being measured

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

  1. the concordance rate between rectal cancer staging performed by WB MR-PET and the current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI

    the concordance rate between two protocols (standard protocol vs. WB-MR-PET) would be calculated.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. incidence of recommendation for further workup after examination

    incidence of recommendation for further w/u after two protocols (standard vs. study) would be compared.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. concordance rate of clinical staging between standard of care and that obtained by combination of WB MR-PET and chest CT.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. concordance rate of clinical stagings and true M staging obtained by biopsy or follow-up

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

the concordance rate between rectal cancer staging performed by WB MR-PET and the current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02651701, 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 12 Dec 2019.
