Trial summary

Preoperative evaluation of the precise localization of the intrapartotic facial nerve is essential for the ENT surgeon to assess the risk of nerve damage during parotid tumor excision, and inform the patient of the risk of post-paralyzed facial nerve palsy. procedure Read more about this study

About this study

Preoperative evaluation of the precise localization of the intrapartotic facial nerve is essential for the ENT surgeon to assess the risk of nerve damage during parotid tumor excision, and inform the patient of the risk of post-paralyzed facial nerve palsy. procedure

Read the detailed description
  1. st visit: Inclusion, parotid MRI 3Tesla high resolution with specific sequences and gadolinium injection performed at the A. de Rothschild Foundation. Evaluation by two radiologists of the exact position of the parotid tumor with respect to the trunk of the facial nerve and its first branches, classified into two categories: contact (≤ 5 mm) or distance (> 5 mm).
  2. nd visit: Surgical intervention of the parotid tumor. The surgeon will specify the same data as those collected by the radiologists after the MRI. The surgeon will not be aware of the data concerning the ratios of parotid tumor to facial nerve collected on MRI sequences for research purposes.

What participants receive

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

  • MRIDevice

    All patients included will benefit from both methods of assessing anatomical relationships between the facial nerve and the parotid tumor:

    1. New medical imaging technique evaluated: 3 Tesla Parotidic MRI High Resolution with Specific Sequences and Gadolinium Injection 2) Standard Gold: Intraoperative Exam

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the sensitivity of a high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI with gadolinium injection with specific sequences versus intraoperative findings of the surgeon (gold standard), to evaluate the anatomic relationships between parotid tumor and facial nerve.

    Sensitivity of new MRI sequences to determine whether the parotid tumor is in contact or at a distance from the facial nerve (common core and first division branches) in comparison with the intra-operative examination (gold standard).

    The contact between the parotid tumor and the trunk of the facial nerve or its first branches of division is a binary qualitative variable with modalities defined as:

    • "Yes": tumor on contact (distance between the tumor and the trunk of the facial nerve or its first branches between 0 and 5 mm)
    • "No": trunk of the facial nerve or its first divisional branches located at a distance (ie more than 5mm from the parotid tumor).

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parotid Tumor, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 4 sites 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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

To determine the sensitivity of a high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI with gadolinium injection with specific sequences versus intraoperative findings of the surgeon (gold standard), to evaluate the anatomic relationships between parotid tumor and facial nerve. (time frame: 1 day). 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 25 Feb 2020.
