Trial summary

The diagnosis and the follow-up of neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult to assess, especially in the detection of metastasis as they can grow in different organs such as liver, lungs, bones or lymph nodes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Interest of Whole-body MRI Correlated to Spreading Sequences for Staging

The diagnosis and the follow-up of neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult to assess, especially in the detection of metastasis as they can grow in different organs such as liver, lungs, bones or lymph nodes. Nowadays, the diagnosis is made with two main imaging techniques which are the thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-scan and a scintigraphic method (Octreoscan and sometimes a TEP-scan). The use of a whole-body MRI is more and more often used for the detection and evaluation of tumors and metastases; therefore, it could be used for neuroendocrine tumors. The MRI would allow to replace the two imaging techniques and to avoid the use of irradiation but also to have a better detection of metastases. This purpose of the study was to evaluate this statement by assessing the consistency between the routine techniques and the MRI and finally to update the recommendation if the study is positive.

Read the detailed description

The main metastatic sites of neuroendocrine tumors can be the liver, the bones, the lungs and lymph nodes. According to the French recommendations (" Thesaurus national de cancérologie digestive "), the initial assessment includes a thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-scan and a scintigraphic method (Octreoscan and TEP-scan if Octreoscan negative). The aim is to detect metastases and tumoral progression to offer the appropriate treatment, such as surgery. Due to its high contrast resolution, its absence of irradiation, and diffusion sequences, the MRI is more and more used to detect tumor progression. The recent literature shows better results with the diffusion sequences than the T2-weighted sequences and, potentially, than the contrast-enhanced sequences to detect liver metastasis. The whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI seems promising for the staging and the following of some cancers. Only two publications have evaluated the diagnostic value of diffusion sequences to detect pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and liver metastasis. Yet, no publication has assessed the diagnostic value of whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI in the patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole-body diffusion- weighted MRI in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors With Metastasis, run by CHU de Reims.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Correspondance between whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI and thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-scan associated with a scintigraphic method in the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors and metastases (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT02786303, 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 1 Jun 2016.
