About this study
Official title: Pilot Study to Assess the Role of Blood-based Biomarkers and Quantitative MR Imaging for Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy for Liver Cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of quantitative MR imaging and blood-based biomarkers to measure liver function in patients receiving radiation therapy for liver cancer or cancer that has spread to the liver.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of quantitative MR imaging and blood-based biomarkers to measure liver function in patients receiving radiation therapy for liver cancer or cancer that has spread to the liver. The feasibility of using MR imaging to monitor liver function at baseline and following liver radiation therapy will be determined. Information from MR images and blood samples, along with patient questionnaires, will be used.
- Conditions
- Cancer, Hepatocellular, Radiotherapy Side Effect
- Being tested
- Multiparametric MRI scans, Multiparametric MRI scans + HepQuantShunt Test
- Medical subject headings
- Liver Neoplasms, Radiation Injuries
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multiparametric MRI scansDevice
Multiparametric MRI scans will be used to evaluate baseline degree of liver fibroinflammation and function as well as temporal changes in liver fibroinflammation and function using MRI-based LiverMultiScan software. We will also measure liver function using HepQuant SHUNT test in a subset of patients enrolled in this study.
Multiparametric MRI scans + HepQuantShunt TestDevice
Eligible patients can have previously undergone any modality and number of prior treatments for their hepatic malignancies, must be considered for either liver photon or proton radiation in the de-novo or re-irradiation setting and can be simultaneously enrolled on parallel trials. Patients must not have any contraindications that would preclude MRI imaging or receipt of HepQuant SHUNT test for those agreeable to have HepQuant SHUNT test.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Multiparametric MRI scan group | Active comparator | Multiparametric MRI scans will be used to evaluate baseline degree of liver fibroinflammation and function as well as temporal changes in liver fibroinflammation and function using MRI-based LiverMultiScan software. Receives: Device: Multiparametric MRI scans |
| Multiparametric MRI scans + HepQuantShunt Test group | Experimental | Eligible patients can have previously undergone any modality and number of prior treatments for their hepatic malignancies, must be considered for either liver photon or proton radiation in the de-novo or re-irradiation setting and can be simultaneously enrolled on parallel trials. Receives: Device: Multiparametric MRI scans; Device: Multiparametric MRI scans + HepQuantShunt Test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of Quantitative Multiparametric MRI
Feasibility will be determined by assessing the percentage of patients who complete at least two quantitative multiparametric MRI scans after study enrollment. The feasibility endpoint will be presented as proportions and a Clopper Pearson 95% exact confidence interval will be determined.
Measured: Up to 12 Months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Disease Severity Index (DSI) scores
Change in DSI scores from baseline will be evaluated using HepQuant SHUNT testing. The HepQuant SHUNT test measures hepatocyte function using the Disease Severity Index (DSI). Increased DSI scores have been correlated with worsening liver function and disease severity and progression and response to treatments. The DSI calculation is proprietary; however, the test generates a liver DSI score ranging from 0 (no hepatic impairment) to 50 (severe hepatic impairment) that is a composite of both hepatic filtration rates and correlates with stage of fibrosis, presence of varices, and risk for future clinical outcomes. Raw changes in DSI scoring from baseline scores will be summarized using descriptive statistics and will be examined using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon Sign rank test.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months post-RT
Ability of LiverMultiScan™ MRI software to predict the risk of non-classic radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) by measuring the pre-RT liver health assessment score
The ability of LiverMultiScan to predict the risk of non-classic RILD will be evaluated. The pre-radiotherapy liver health assessment score will be calculated by measuring the Future Liver Remnant volume outside the 50% radiation isodose line weighted by the liver cT1 value. MRI images will be post-processed using LiverMultiScan, which provides a multiparametric quantitative map of a region of interest in the liver including characterization of the underlying liver fibroinflammation as reported by a corrected T1 (cT1) value, which will be measured and reported in milliseconds (ms). The likelihood of non-classic RILD based on the cT1 value will be assessed using multivariable logistic regression.
Non-classic RILD is defined as either worsening of Child-Pugh Score by >=2 points (overall range: 5-15 points) at 6 months following RT or an elevated aminotransferase (ALT or AST) level > 5 times the upper limit of normal or baseline value within 90 days of completion of RT.
Measured: Baseline to 6 Months post-RT
Change in Total Liver Volume and Volume of non-irradiated and irradiated lobes
Change in total liver volume, as well as volume of non-irradiated and irradiated liver lobes, from pre-radiotherapy treatment at baseline will be evaluated using Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI of the abdomen at the specified timeframes to assess the impact of radiotherapy. Mean changes in total liver volume (cm^3) and volume of non-irradiated and irradiate lobes will be assessed using the MRI software image analysis and summarized by study arm. The data will be analyzed using linear mixed-effects models. Increases in liver volume are correlated to more favorable outcomes
Measured: Baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 Months post-RT

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?
Feasibility of Quantitative Multiparametric MRI (time frame: Up to 12 Months). 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 NCT06144827, which also lists 24 linked publications.
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 Mar 2025.
