About this study

Official title: A Study On The Prediction of Neoadjuvant Efficacy And Heterogeneity For Rectal Cancer Based On MR Cytometry Imaging and Deep-radiomics

This study employed MR cytometry imaging combined with deep-radiomic research methods to predict the heterogeneity of rectal cancer, and constructed a model to predict the sensitivity to neoadjuvant therapy and potential mechanisms, assisting clinicians in early identification of high-risk tumors and patients with treatment-susceptible rectal cancer, and selecting individualized treatment plans, thereby improving patient prognosis. To this end, the investigators need to collect the clinical diagnosis and treatment data of patients, surgical and biopsy pathological information, pre-treatment rectal MRI images and colonoscopy biopsy tissue sections, and follow up on the surgical pathological results and recurrence of patients. This study is a non-interventional diagnostic study, which does not interfere with the routine diagnosis and treatment of patients, does not affect any medical rights of patients, and does not increase any medical risks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological complete response

    Measured: One month after surgery

  2. Pathological tumor regression grade

    Measured: One month after surgery

  3. progression-free survival

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pathological differentiation grade

    Measured: One month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer, Adenocarcinoma, run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2025. 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 China. 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?

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?

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?

Pathological complete response (time frame: One month after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT07107815, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Aug 2025.
