Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with histologically proven head and neck cancer
  • Patients without a diagnosis of head and neck cancer (up to 10 patients, see below)
  • We anticipate enrolling a total of 75 patients with a history of head and neck cancer who will complete all questionnaires and MRI scanning. We will also recruit up to 10 patients WITHOUT a diagnosis of head and neck cancer to facilitate optimization of the MRI scanning processes. This will allow us to address logistical issues, such as pressure stimulator setup and timing of each scan to be performed.
  • Completed multi-modality therapy a minimum of 6 weeks prior to study entry.
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent
  • All participants must be at least 21 years of age
  • Able to speak English

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are pregnant
  • Patients who are unable to lie still
  • Patients who are unable tolerate pressure stimulator
  • Non-MRI compatible devices such as aneurysm clips, cardiac pacemakers or defibrillators, cochlear implants, hardware, or any other implants
  • Iron-based tattoos, pieces of metal (bullet, BB, shrapnel) close to or in an important organ (such as the eye), or other non-MRI compatible metal in the body

About this study

Official title: Characterization of Central Pain Syndrome in Survivors of Head and Neck Cancer

This is a cross-sectional pilot study of head and neck cancer survivors who have completed multi-modal treatment to assess and characterize the presence of distinct pain syndromes.

Read the detailed description

Primary objectives:

  • To correlate structural and functional MRI signature with one of three pain phenotypes in head and neck cancer survivors: 1) no pain, 2) central pain, and 3) nociceptive pain.
  • To correlate the presence of chronic systemic symptoms with pain phenotype

Exploratory objectives:

  • DNA, RNA, and plasma will be collected for genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic studies. Results will be vertically integrated along with the results of clinical studies described within this protocol to identify targets for future correlative studies.
Being tested
IPC-1000, Magnetic resonance imaging, Correlative Studies

What is being measured

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

  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Correlate With One of Three Pain Phenotypes 1) no Pain, 2) Central Pain, 3) Nociceptive Pain

    MRI scan of brain to measure response to stimulated pressure to thumbnail

    Measured: Approximately 8 weeks

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Correlate Presence of Chronic Systemic Symptoms With Pain Phenotype

    MRI scan of brain to measure response to stimulated pressure to thumbnail

    Measured: Approximately 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IPC-1000, Magnetic resonance imaging and Correlative Studies in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 19 Sep 2022. 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Sep 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Correlate With One of Three Pain Phenotypes 1) no Pain, 2) Central Pain, 3) Nociceptive Pain (time frame: Approximately 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Sep 2022.
