Trial summary

Hepatic tumors in the perinatal period are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in affected patients. The conventional diagnostic tool, such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) shows limited value in diagnosis of infantile hepatic tumors. Read more about this study

About this study

Hepatic tumors in the perinatal period are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in affected patients. The conventional diagnostic tool, such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) shows limited value in diagnosis of infantile hepatic tumors. This retrospective-prospective study is aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the deep learning system through analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images before initial treatment.

Read the detailed description

Hepatic tumors seldom occur in the perinatal period. They comprise approximately 5% of the total neoplasms of various types occurring in the fetus and neonate. Infantile hemangioendothelioma is the leading primary hepatic tumor followed by hepatoblastoma. It should be mentioned that alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is highly elevated during the first several months after birth even in normal infants, thus the diagnostic value of AFP is limited for infantile patients with hepatic tumors. This study is a retrospective-prospective design by West China Hospital, Sichuan University, including clinical data and radiological images. A retrospective database was enrolled for patients with definite histological diagnosis and available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images from June 2010 and December 2020. The investigators have constructed a deep learning radiomics diagnostic model on this retrospective cohort and validated it internally. A prospective cohort would recruit infantile patients diagnosed as liver tumor since January 2021. The proposed deep learning model would also be validated in this prospective cohort externally. The established model would be able to assist diagnosis for hepatic tumor in infants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatoblastoma and Hepatic Hemangioendothelioma, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 27 Dec 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 China. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diagnostic accuracy of infantile liver tumors with deep learning algorithm (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05170282, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Dec 2021.
