About this study

Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WBDWI) is a non-invasive tool used for staging and response evaluation in oncologic practice and is at the core of emerging response criteria in advanced prostate and breast cancers.

WBDWI is a sensitive tool that radiologists can use to review the extent of disease and is achieved using a series of sequential imaging stations from the head to the mid-thigh. WBDWI accounts for more than 50% of the acquisition time of conventional whole-body MRI studies with a 1-hour duration. Despite national and international guidance for using whole-body MRI, a recent UK survey indicated that only 27% of UK radiology departments were offering a whole-body MRI service with a lack of scanner availability cited by 50% of respondents as the main challenge to service delivery. In the context of the ever-increasing capacity pressures on MRI departments, reducing acquisition times would facilitate the wider adoption of clinical WBDWI, reduce costs, and improve the patient experience.

DWI is also embedded into consensus MRI protocols across almost all tumour types including primary prostate and breast cancers, metastatic liver disease, gynaecological cancers \& GI cancers, where acquisition time savings could also be beneficial. The investigators have previously published accelerated DWI with deep learning based denoising filters (quickDWI), which can provide up to 50% reduction in whole-body MRI acquisition times. The goal of the deep-learning algorithm is to remove the noise in these subsampled images, producing an image with acceptable clinical quality.

The aim of this investigation is to extend this work by testing quickDWI within a larger retrospective data cohort, incorporating other cancers such as disease of the abdomen and pelvis, primary prostate cancer, liver metastases, and pancreatic cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Qualitative image comparison

    The primary endpoint is the qualitative comparison of radiological image quality on a 5-point Likert scale (5 being the best) for quickDWI images and conventional clinical images.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Qualitative contrast-to-noise-ratio comparison

    Qualitative radiological contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) on a 5-point Likert scale (5 being the best), for quickDWI images and conventional clinical images.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, 3 years

  2. Qualitative artefact comparison

    Qualitative scoring for presence of image artefacts on a 5-point Likert scale (5 being the best), for quickDWI images and conventional clinical images.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, 3 years

  3. Inter-observer comparison

    Krippendorff's alpha coefficient for inter-observer agreement of image quality, CNR and image artefacts.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, 3 years

  4. Repeatability comparison

    The coefficient of repeatability of median ADC measurements within regions-of-interest (ROIs) defined in the same anatomical areas on both quickDWI and standard clinical imaging.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 19 May 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 Kingdom. 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?

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?

Qualitative image comparison (time frame: Throughout study completion, 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 19 May 2022.
