About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Resectable Cervical Carcinoma With PET/MRI

This trial studies how well positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scan works in checking patients with stage IA1-IB3 cervical cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable). PET/MRI scan may help doctors learn more about the spread of the disease.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess depth of cervical invasion with positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) in patients with cervical cancer in clinical Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging undergoing evaluation for surgical resection and correlate with pathology.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To correlate lymph node involvement on PET/MRI with pathology. II. To assess the inter-observer variability in the interpretation of PET/MRI. III. To correlate the quantitative imaging parameters of the tumor, such as the volumetric size, blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), standardized uptake value (SUV) and the glucose metabolic rate (GMR) with lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and tumor grade on surgical pathology.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 and gadobutrol intravenously (IV) over 1 minute and undergo PET/MRI over 90-120 minutes.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of diagnosing depth of invasion on positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)

    Both PET/MRI and pathology results will be dichotomized into binary outcomes and the accuracy of PET/MRI will assessed.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessing the Lymph node involvement by PET/MRI

    Will determine the relationship with pathology.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Inter-observer variability of PET/MR

    A PET report for clinical use will be generated by a radiologist with appropriate training and credentialing to read PET images. A separate MRI report for clinical use will be generated by a radiologist with appropriate training and credentialing to read MRI. Subsequently, PET/MR images will be evaluated by two radiologists who have appropriate training to read both PET and MRI and 2 research reports will be generated. Inter-observer variability of PET/MRI will be calculated using Cohen's kappa coefficient.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Quantitative imaging parameters of the tumor

    Correlate the quantitative imaging parameters of the tumor, such as the volumetric size, blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), IVIM analysis, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), MTV, TLG, standardized uptake value (SUV) and GMR with LVSI and tumor grade on surgical pathology which serves as gold standard. Two-sample t-test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used for comparing the group means between LVSI positive/negative groups and among tumor grades and types. Other statistical analysis will be carried out as appropriate.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Fludeoxyglucose F-18, Gadobutrol and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Stage IA Cervical Cancer and Stage IA1 Cervical Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson 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 4 inclusion and 10 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2026. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Accuracy of diagnosing depth of invasion on positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) (time frame: 3 years). 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 20 May 2026.
