About this study

Official title: Comparison Of Double Inversion Recovery Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Dir-Mri) And Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Imaging (Dce-Mri) In Detection Of Prostate Cancer: A Pilot Study

This is a pilot study taking place at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. Patients referred for MRI for possible prostate cancer will be invited to take part in the study. Following consent, participants will have an additional MRI sequence performed during their routine MRI called Double Inversion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DIR-MRI).

Participants scan images and prostate biopsy histology report (if applicable) will be reviewed by the research team.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study taking place at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. Patients referred for MRI for possible prostate cancer will be invited to take part in the study. Following consent, participants will have an additional MRI sequence performed during their routine MRI called Double Inversion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DIR-MRI). Participants scan images and prostate biopsy histology report (if applicable) will be reviewed by the research team. The research team will look at the variability of LNR score amongst the two scan typed and the DCE-MRI and DIR-MRI images will be correlated with biopsy results to give an indication of the accuracy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lesion to Normal tissue Ratio (LNR) recorded for DIR-MRI and DCE-MRI

    In order to inform a sample size calculation for a subsequent, fully powered equivalence trial Is DIR-MRI equivalent to DCE-MRI in detection of prostate cancer

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation of biopsy and DIR-MRI and DCE-MRI findings

    In order to ascertain if addition of DIR-MRI could improve accuracy of cancer diagnosis

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Cancer of the Prostate, run by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 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 14 Mar 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Lesion to Normal tissue Ratio (LNR) recorded for DIR-MRI and DCE-MRI (time frame: 3 months). 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 14 Mar 2019.
