NCT01631318

Brief Summary

Patients are invited to participate in a research study of liver perfusion (how blood flows to the liver over time). Researchers hope to learn whether perfusion characteristics of liver metastases may be predictive of response to treatment and whether liver perfusion characteristics can be used to follow response to treatment. Patients were selected as a possible participant in this study because they are identified as having liver metastases

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Measurements of blood flow, in terms of comparison of the perfusion parameters of the lesion as a predictor of tumor response to treatment and use as a biomarker for response to treatment

    Descriptive statistics will be presented for lesion size, by lesion type, and across lesion types. Lesion shape, depth, vascularization, and border definition will also be categorized by dose and lesion type. Based on the unenhanced ultrasound, the target lesion to liver echogenicity will be categorized by lesion type. Based on the Definity®-enhanced ultrasound, the pattern of enhancement of the target lesion will be summarized by lesion type.
