About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of MRI Assessment of Iron in the Myocardium, Liver, Pancreas and Pituitary Gland in Patients With High Transfusion Dependence on the Packed Red Blood Cells

All patients were investigated using a 3T MRI and 1,5 T MRI scanners. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload quantification in children we have used special sequences for T2*-mapping.

Miocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland T2* relaxometry maps were calculated automatically by commertial application ReportCARD Functool (GE Healthcare) and integrated Philips T2* maps. Then for selected ROI T2* data acquisition in milisecond [ms] were performed and calculated automatically.

Read the detailed description

All patients were investigated using a 3T MRI scanner (Philips Achieva) and 1,5 T MRI scanner (GE Signa) with 8-channel surface coil for body scanning. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload quantification in children we have used special sequences for T2*-mapping based on fast gradient echo sequences - multi-phase fast gradient echo and ultrashort gradient echo (uTE) in axial and coronary plane. For breath-hold acquisition due to failure of communication and invariable behavior some children received anaesthetic support with mechanical ventilation. Miocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland T2* relaxometry maps were calculated automatically by commertial application ReportCARD Functool (GE Healthcare) and integrated Philips T2* maps.

The placement of region of interest (ROI) in target organ were performed by following criterion: for the myocardium - in the interventricular septum in short axis plane; for the pancreas - in corpus in axial plane; for the pituitary gland - in adenohypophysis; for all organs the area of large and small blood vessels, which can introduce distortions of the obtained results were excluded. Then for selected ROI T2* data acquisition in milisecond [ms] were performed and calculated automatically by approximating the attenuation curve with the highest likelihood method.

  • Npf.Diagnostic test

    3T MRI and 1,5 T MRI scanners. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare and contrast T2* values in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia using 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner.

    Measured: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy

  2. Compare and contrast T2* values in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia using 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner.

    Measured: up to 1 week after the end of chelation therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To calculate the T2* values in the pancreas, myocardium and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia on the 3T scanner.

    Measured: point1: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy; point 2: every week during 1 month for the stability checking point 3: ut to 1 week at the end of the study

  2. To develop a control method for iron assessment using aqueous solutions of iron nanoparticles by calculating T2* values on 3T and 1,5T scanners.

    Measured: point1: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy; point 2: every week during 1 month for the stability checking point 3: ut to 1 week at the end of the study

  3. Draw up T2* values recalculating tables for a 3T scanner based on the distribution of T2* values for a 1.5T scanner in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia.

    Measured: point1: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy; point 2: every week during 1 month for the stability checking point 3: ut to 1 week at the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Npf. in people with Iron Overload, run by Federal Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2021. 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 Russia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Evelina f Nazarova (+79161133945, evelina.nazarova@fccho-moscow.ru), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare and contrast T2* values in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia using 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner. (time frame: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy). 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 8 Apr 2021.
