NCT ID NCT05705219

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study is testing whether a special 3D ultrasound technique can help doctors better monitor how liver tumors respond to treatment. About 80 adults with liver cancer that started in the colon or rectum will be scanned before and during therapy. The goal is to see if this imaging tool can provide clear and useful information to guide treatment decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participant has untreated liver metastases from colorectal low-grade adenocarcinoma (biopsy-proven and/or characteristic findings on CT, MRI, or FDG-PET) and has planned to undergo a new course of cancer therapy\*. 2. Participant is age \>/=18 years. 3. Participant has at least one target lesion that measures ≥1cm in diameter (minimum size according to RECIST 1.1) with a maximum diameter of 14cm amenable to imaging with ultrasound 4. Participant is willing to comply with protocol requirements. 5. Participant has given written informed consent to participate in this study. * Any line of cancer therapy is allowed, including systemic and localized treatments, after any prior treatment. For systemic combination treatments, prior treatment with either drug is allowed at the discretion of the investigators, including rechallenges with the same drug combination, for example upon progression on imaging after a treatment break. For combination treatments where patients start treatment with different drugs at different times, the start date of treatment is determined at the discretion of the investigators and can be the start date of the first drug or of the combination treatment. Repeat participation in the study is allowed, if patients are eligible again per their treatment plan. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participant has documented anaphylactic or other severe reaction to any ultrasound contrast media or polyethylene glycol (PEG). 2. Participant has any comorbid condition\*\* that, in the opinion of the treating provider or the Protocol Director, compromises the participant's ability to participate in the study. 3. Participant is pregnant (positive urine or serum beta-hCG) or lactating. 4. Presence of cardiac shunt or presence of pulmonary hypertension (contradiction for ultrasound contrast agent) 5. Renal insufficiency with a creatinine level \>1.5mg/dl, per our institutional guidelines (contradiction for CT imaging). * Examples: any mental condition that compromises the ability to follow a consent discussion, or to make informed decisions (except if represented by a Legally Authorized Representative \[LAR\]); any condition that makes the participant not a good candidate to have ultrasound exams with contrast agent.
