Trial summary

This is a retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with LARC who received NCRT and had MRI scans between 2003-2014 at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Region of interest was drawn around the tumor or its location on T2 MRI images. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) includes neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) followed by surgical resection

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects must have MRI post-Chemotherapy treatment to detect the response to Neoadjuvant treatment and compare it to pre-treatment scans to easily determine if there were a posttreatment liver metastasis.
  • Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) = MRI stage: T3/T4 and/or N1/N0.

Who cannot join

  • Distant metastases.
  • Synchronous tumour.

About this study

This is a retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with LARC who received NCRT and had MRI scans between 2003-2014 at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Region of interest was drawn around the tumor or its location on T2 MRI images. Six texture parameters were systematically extracted from Textural histograms of post-treatment scans. These parameters were examined to determine their ability to predict local recurrence and distant metastases through Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MRIDiagnostic test

    Texture analysis (TA) is a novel imaging biomarker that can assess heterogeneity in MRIs by measuring grey-level intensities distribution. This study hypothesizes that TA of MRI is an imaging biomarker that can predict local recurrence and distant metastasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local recurrence of rectal cancer

    Measured: 120 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer, run by East Suffolk and North Essex 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Local recurrence of rectal cancer (time frame: 120 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 1 Jun 2022.
