NCT04796818

Brief Summary

This trial evaluates the treatment response of colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM DWI). IVIM DWI is new kind of imaging scan that may help measure changes in disease before and after chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Absolute change in the true diffusion coefficient (D)

    The absolute changes of parameter D between response and nonresponse groups will be compared using a two-sample t-test.

    Up to 3 months or 5 months (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Diffusion related parameters in intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging

    Up to 3 months or 5 months (each cycle is 28 days)

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (IVIM DWI)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo IVIM DWI over 10 minutes during standard of care MRI within 30 days of starting chemotherapy and after 4-6 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy.

Procedure: Diffusion Weighted Imaging

Interventions

Undergo IVIM DWI

Also known as: Diffusion Weighted MRI, Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging, Diffusion-Weighted MRI, DW-MRI, DWI, DWI MRI, DWI-MRI, MR Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with treatment-naive resectable CLM, who will start chemotherapy with oxaliplatin with fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (FOLFOX), irinotecan with 5-FU/leucovorin (FOLFIRI), or a combination, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI), with or without a biologic agent
  • Patients with at least 1 colorectal liver metastasis measuring at least 1 cm
  • Patients with anticipated follow-up before and after surgery at MD Anderson

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have already received preoperative chemotherapy for the CLM or will undergo radiation therapy, ablative therapies, or other non-surgical therapies directed at the liver
  • Patients allergic to gadolinium
  • Patients with pacemakers
  • Greater than 400 pounds in weight
