Trial summary

This is a prospective observational study which will recruit 90 participants over a three-year period to investigate whether adding magnetic resonance imaging and enterography to routine computed tomography study can better predict the extend of peritoneal carcinomatosis over computed tomography alone.

About this study

Official title: Adding Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Enterography for the Pre-operative Assessment of Imaging Peritoneal Cancer Index in Patients With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

This is a prospective observational study which will recruit 90 participants over a three-year period to investigate whether adding magnetic resonance imaging and enterography to routine computed tomography study can better predict the extend of peritoneal carcinomatosis over computed tomography alone.

Read the detailed description

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new option for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and the effectiveness of HIPEC depends on the extend of disease. Currently, pre-operative imaging peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is used to predict the intraoperative tumor extend and completeness of cytoreduction. However, the investigators' previous study and literature review show that imaging PCI usually underestimated intraoperative PCI, resulting in subsequent Open-Close operation. The investigators hypothesize that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a better predictor of the intra-operative PCI than computed tomography (CT), and MR Enterography can better represent tumor deposits in the small intestine. This study aims to test whether the addition of MRI and MR Enterography to CT study improves the prediction performance of the intraoperative PCI and completeness of optimal cytoreduction over CT alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predicting intraoperative PCI scores for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, using MR Enterography and CT

    The Sugarbaker's Peritoneal Cancer Index scores according to the MR enterography and CT images will be calculated pre-operatively and will be compared to the standard PCI scores obtained during operation. Basically, the scoring system divides the abdominopelvic cavity into 13 separate regions, and each region is scored 0-3 points as follows: 0 point, the absence of tumor; 1 point, tumors < 0.5 cm in diameter; 2 points, tumors 0.5-5 cm in diameter; 3 points, tumors > 5 cm in diameter.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI in people with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy and Cytoreductive Surgery, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 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 Taiwan. 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 Chia-Ni Lin, MA (+886 5 3621 000 ext. 2627, lcn6979@cgmh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Predicting intraoperative PCI scores for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, using MR Enterography and CT (time frame: 36 months). 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 18 Oct 2021.
