LiverMultiScan Analysis of MRI Scans in HCC

The Utility of LiverMultiScan Analysis of MRI Scans in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma for Improved Prognostication and as an Aid to the Selection of Therapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Mar 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This project is a pilot study to interrogate the potential of LMS as a predictive tool for the selection of therapy for HCC patients. The reliability of LMS to predict patients' response following HCC therapy will leverage on an algorithm that is built from the pool of MRI scans from HCC patients pre- and post-treatment. In the study, MRI scans of 30 HCC and metastatic colorectal cancer (CM) patients (ratio of 4:1) will be analysed. CM cancer patients include patients whose cancers metastasized from colorectal cancer or primary liver cancer. These patients will either receive one of the treatment, surgical resection, Y90 or systemic therapy. A total of 4 MRI scans will be taken for each patient; the first MRI scan will be taken within a month before treatment initiation and the remaining MRI scans will be taken at the 1st, 3rd and 9th month post-initiation of treatment.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Common Exclusion Criteria (Surgical Resection, Y90 Treatment and Systemic Therapy):
  • Surgical resection
    • Has encephalopathy.
    • Has received a major organ allograft.
    • Has an uncontrolled bleeding disorder.
    • Has uncontrolled congestive heart failure or hypertension, unstable heart disease (coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction) or uncontrolled arrhythmia at the time of enrolment.
    • Has psychiatric or addictive disorders that may compromise his/her ability to give informed consent, or to comply with the study procedures.
    • Has other concurrent severe medical problems, unrelated to the malignancy, that would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose the patient to unacceptable risk.
  • Systemic therapy
    • Receiving concurrent therapy alongside systemic therapy.
    • Has no anti-cancer specific treatment within 4 weeks prior to the initiation of systemic therapy.
    • Has encephalopathy.
    • Has history of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of treatment.
    • Has had a solid organ or hematologic transplant. Has clinically apparent ascites on physical examination. Note: Ascites detectable on imaging studies only are allowed.
    • Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
    • Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Note: Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
    • Has current pneumonitis or known history of, or any evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis that requires steroids.
    • Has uncontrolled congestive heart failure or hypertension, unstable heart disease (coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction) or any uncontrolled arrhythmia at the time of enrolment into study.
    • Has known psychiatric or addictive disorders that may compromise the patient's ability to give informed consent, or to comply with trial procedures.
    • Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial.
    • Has had a minor surgery ≤7 days prior to the first dose of systemic therapy.

Other illness

  • Is unable to return for follow-up visits to monitor for disease response/progression

Lab values

  • Has low creatinine clearance (estimated glomerular filtration rates \< 60)

Other

  • Is unable to have a MRI scan, including but not limited to claustrophobia, implanted metallic devices and metal foreign bodies
  • Non-provision of informed consent
  • For female patients: pregnant or lactating
  • Y90 treatment
    • o Nil

Who the study is looking for

  • Common Inclusion Criteria (Surgical Resection, Y90 Treatment and Systemic Therapy):

    • Space occupying lesion in the liver and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) of more than 400 in patients with chronic viral hepatitis or cirrhosis of any cause
  • For CM patients: Diagnosis of colorectal cancer with metastasis to the liver confirmed by histology/cytology.
  • Has ECOG performance status 0-1 before treatment intervention.
  • Surgical Resection
    • Has received no anti-cancer specific treatment for HCC i.e. previous liver resection, loco-regional therapy (e.g. RFA, TACE, SIRT), radiotherapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the date of the planned surgery.
    • Has adequate bone-marrow reserve, renal function and hepatic function as assessed by standard laboratory criteria:
