About this study

Official title: ElastoMRI Evaluation of Hepatic Metastases in Colorectal Cancer

Currently, the tumor response of operated colorectal liver metastases is assessed by histology of the resection specimen.The histological data make it possible to define categories (responder, partial responder, non-responder).

Overall survival (OS: overall survival) after surgery crucially depends on the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Current criteria for predicting histological response in preoperative imaging are not satisfactory.

Read more

The working hypothesis is that it is possible to better differentiate the tissue response to conventional chemotherapies and anti-angiogenics through MRI elastography by quantifying the changes in tissue mechanical properties induced by systemic treatments.

The objectives is to evaluate the mechanical properties obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments envisaged: conventional chemotherapy such as Folfox or combined with targeted therapy

The objectives is to evaluate the mechanical properties obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments envisaged: conventional chemotherapy such as Folfox or combined with targeted therapy

This is an open, non-randomized, non-comparative trial with three parallel groups

  • 10 patients immediately resectable and receiving preoperative chemotherapy based on Folfox alone.
  • 30 potentially resectable patients (borderline) with two groups of patients representing the combinations usual triplets: chemotherapy and targeted therapy: Folfox+bevacizumab (15 patients) and Folfox + Cetuximab (15 patients).
  • 10 unresectable patients with two groups of patients representing the usual combinations: cytotoxic pure vs cytotoxic + targeted therapy (bevacizumab or Cetuximab).

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate elasticity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy

    The Primary endpoint is variation in the measurement of the elasticity of the metastases by elastography-MRI between the baseline MRI and the follow-up MRI according to the morphological response criteria RECIST1.1

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Evaluate elasticity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy

    The Primary endpoint is variation in the measurement of the elasticity of the metastases by elastography-MRI between the baseline MRI and the follow-up MRI according to the morphological response Chun criteria

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Evaluate viscosity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy

    The Primary endpoint is variation in the measurement of the viscosity of the metastases by elastography-MRI between the baseline MRI and the follow-up MRI according to the morphological response criteria RECIST1.1

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Evaluate viscosity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy

    The Primary endpoint is variation in the measurement of the viscosity of the metastases by elastography-MRI between the baseline MRI and the follow-up MRI according to the morphological response Chun criteria

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Correlate in operated patients the mechanical properties obtained by elastomeric MRI with the histological response.

    Measurement of the elasticity and viscosity of the metastases by preoperative elastography-MRI according to the histological response classified as complete response, partial response (viable tissue less than 50% of the tumor volume), or non-responder (viable tissue greater than 50% of the tumor volume).

    Measured: by preoperative

  2. Compare the metastases detected of liver MRI with liver CT

    Number of metastases detected

    Measured: Preoperative for the group of resectable patients and after 4 cycles for the potentially resectable and unresectable groups

  3. Compare the type of tumor response of liver MRI with liver CT

    type of tumor response using RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Preoperative for the group of resectable patients and after 4 cycles for the potentially resectable and unresectable groups

  4. Compare tumour response of liver MRI with liver CT

    Chun criteria

    Measured: Preoperative for the group of resectable patients and after 4 cycles for the potentially resectable and unresectable groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing an elastoMRI sequence in people with Colorectal Cancer With Liver Metastases, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Valérie VILGRAIN (+33 1 40 87 53 58, valerie.vilgrain@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate elasticity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 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 13 Aug 2024.
