About this study

Official title: Advancing Diagnosis and Treatment for Lung Cancer Patients Using Hybrid PET/MR Imaging and Novel Visualization Tools

The purpose of this project is to investigate if PET/MR imaging improves the accuracy in visualization and characterization of lung cancer disease, compared to PET/CT.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer type and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Positron emission tomography (PET) coupled with computed tomography (CT) is the standard of care for visualization and staging of lung cancer. Recent clinical introduction of hybrid PET and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging systems has shown potential to improve tumor imaging beyond the limits of PET/CT. However, knowledge about the clinical impact of this new hybrid modality is still limited.

This project aims to investigate how PET/MR may improve the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer disease, compared to PET/CT: PET/MR may allow early detection of brain and liver metastases, which strongly affects treatment outcome and survival; predictive models based on machine learning may combine image derived biomarkers from PET/MR, histology and health record data, to automatically visualize and characterize the tumor, facilitating computer aided diagnosis and personalized radiotherapy treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • PET/MRDiagnostic test

    The included patients are imaged with PET/MR as part of the research protocol.

  • PET/CTDiagnostic test

    The included patients are imaged with PET/CT as part of normal clinical routine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of PET/MR vs. clinical routine PET/CT

    Sensitivity and specificity of PET/MR scans will be compared with in clinical routine PET/CT examinations for lung cancer disease feature prediction.

    Measured: 1-2 weeks after the initial inclusion.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Prediction of treatment response and progression-free survival

    We will investigate which PET/MR or PET/CT features are best suited as an imaging biomarker for treatment response evaluation and for progression-free survival 1 year after inclusion.

    Measured: 1 year after inclusion.

  2. Prediction of treatment response and progression-free survival

    We will investigate which PET/MR or PET/CT features are best suited as an imaging biomarker for treatment response evaluation and for progression-free survival 2 years after inclusion.

    Measured: 2 years after inclusion.

  3. Prediction of treatment response and progression-free survival

    We will investigate which PET/MR or PET/CT features are best suited as an imaging biomarker for treatment response evaluation and for progression-free survival 5 years after inclusion.

    Measured: 5 years after inclusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/MR and PET/CT in people with Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital of North Norway at 1 site in Norway.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2023. 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 Norway. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Internal resources ended). 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?

Sensitivity and specificity of PET/MR vs. clinical routine PET/CT (time frame: 1-2 weeks after the initial inclusion.). 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 17 Jan 2023.
