About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Accuracy of the Elastic Fusion MRI-ultrasound ((Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Obtained in Vivo by the Koelis™ System

The study aims at quantifying the registration error obtained in routine patients in different parts of the prostate and for operators with different experience in order to assess the average precision of the elastic MR-ultrasound fusion obtained by Koelis™ system.

Patients referred for placement of intraprostatic fiducials before radiotherapy for prostate cancer will be prospectively offered to enter the study.

The fiducials will be placed under transrectal ultrasound guidance, in the prostate apex, midgland and base, according to our routine procedure. A 3D Ultrasound acquisition of the prostate will be obtained at the end of the placement. As per our routine procedure, patients will undergo unenhanced prostate MRI to control the position of the fiducials. An elastic fusion of the MR images and the 3D ultrasound acquisitions will be retrospectively performed by operators of varying experience using the Koelis system. The fiducials (visible on MR and ultrasound images) will be used to quantify the registration error.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of the overall registration obtained by the Koelis™ system

    The fusion will be performed retrospectively without interfering with patient management. This fusion is an off-line analysis that will be performed within one month of the images acquisition. Each of the four operators will perform a US/MR fusion for all patients and will be blinded to the fusions performed by the others. The results will be presented when all operators have finished the fusions in all patients.

    The overall registration error (TRE3D, defined as the Euclidean distance between the US marker and the MR marker after fusion) will be calculated based on the 3D coordinates of the fiducials on MR and ultrasound images.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Influence on TRE3D of the position of the fiducials (apex, midgland and base)

    The fusion will be performed retrospectively without interfering with patient management. This fusion is an off-line analysis that will be performed within one month of the images acquisition. Each of the four operators will perform a US/MR fusion for all patients and will be blinded to the fusions performed by the others. The results will be presented when all operators have finished the fusions in all patients.

    The distribution of TRE3D for the markers at the apex, midgalnd and base will be compared

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Influence on TRE3D of the experience of the fusion operators

    The fusion will be performed retrospectively without interfering with patient management. This fusion is an off-line analysis that will be performed within one month of the images acquisition. Each of the four operators will perform a US/MR fusion for all patients and will be blinded to the fusions performed by the others. The results will be presented when all operators have finished the fusions in all patients.

    The distribution of TRE3D for the four operators will be compared

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of the Prostate, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 26 Aug 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Olivier ROUVIERE, Professor (+334 72 11 09 50, olivier.rouviere@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of the overall registration obtained by the Koelis™ system (time frame: 1 month). 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 26 Aug 2016.
