About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Performance of PET/MRI Versus Standard of Care Imaging (PET/CT and/or CT and/or PET) in Preoperative Women With Presumed Early-stage High Grade Endometrial Carcinoma

This study is investigating if positron emission tomography (PET)/Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more effective than the currently used imaging modalities (computed tomography [CT], or PET/CT) for high-risk endometrial cancer.

The name of the intervention involved in this study is:

Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

Read the detailed description

This research study involves undergoing a diagnostic imaging procedure called positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). This type of scan uses a powerful magnet and a special drug that emits a small but detectable amount of radiation to show detailed images of tumors. This study, will examine the diagnostic effectiveness of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), which will be the intervention. The study will compare the results of this scan to either the computed tomography (CT) or PET/CT that participants would normally undergo as a standard of care for high-risk endometrial cancer.

The research study procedures include a screening for eligibility and a single study visit.

  • Participants will undergo the PET/MRI in one study visit of approximately four hours.
  • It is expected that about thirty-three (33) people will take part in this research study.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the PET/MRI scanner as a diagnostic modality option for indications that include for high-risk endometrial cancer.

Being tested
PET/MRI with radiotracer ([18F]- fluorodeoxyglucose) and a gadolinium-based contrast agent

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with a metastatic lesion noted on PET/MRI that have a true malignancy noted on surgical pathology of that lesion

    Sensitivity of PET/MRI to detect metastatic lesions

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Percentage of patients without any metastatic lesion noted on PET/MRI that do not have malignancy noted on surgical pathology

    Specificity of PET/MRI to detect abscence of metastatic lesions

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/MRI with radiotracer ([18F]- fluorodeoxyglucose) and a gadolinium-based contrast agent in people with Cytoreductive Surgery and Grade 3 Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma, run by Massachusetts General Hospital.

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 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Percentage of patients with a metastatic lesion noted on PET/MRI that have a true malignancy noted on surgical pathology of that lesion (time frame: Baseline). 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 2 Apr 2024.
