MRI T2* Mapping of Myocardium, Liver, Pancreas and Pituitary Gland

April 5, 2021 updated by: Federal Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology

Clinical Study of MRI Assessment of Iron in the Myocardium, Liver, Pancreas and Pituitary Gland in Patients With High Transfusion Dependence on the Packed Red Blood Cells

All patients were investigated using a 3T MRI and 1,5 T MRI scanners. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload quantification in children we have used special sequences for T2*-mapping.

Miocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland T2* relaxometry maps were calculated automatically by commertial application ReportCARD Functool (GE Healthcare) and integrated Philips T2* maps. Then for selected ROI T2* data acquisition in milisecond [ms] were performed and calculated automatically.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

All patients were investigated using a 3T MRI scanner (Philips Achieva) and 1,5 T MRI scanner (GE Signa) with 8-channel surface coil for body scanning. For myocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland iron overload quantification in children we have used special sequences for T2*-mapping based on fast gradient echo sequences - multi-phase fast gradient echo and ultrashort gradient echo (uTE) in axial and coronary plane. For breath-hold acquisition due to failure of communication and invariable behavior some children received anaesthetic support with mechanical ventilation. Miocardium, pancreas and pituitary gland T2* relaxometry maps were calculated automatically by commertial application ReportCARD Functool (GE Healthcare) and integrated Philips T2* maps.

The placement of region of interest (ROI) in target organ were performed by following criterion: for the myocardium - in the interventricular septum in short axis plane; for the pancreas - in corpus in axial plane; for the pituitary gland - in adenohypophysis; for all organs the area of large and small blood vessels, which can introduce distortions of the obtained results were excluded. Then for selected ROI T2* data acquisition in milisecond [ms] were performed and calculated automatically by approximating the attenuation curve with the highest likelihood method.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years to 25 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Compare and contrast T2* values in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia using 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner.
Time Frame: Initially, after one month of chelation therapy
Initially, after one month of chelation therapy
Compare and contrast T2* values in pancreas, myocardium, and pituitary gland in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia using 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner.
Time Frame: up to 1 week after the end of chelation therapy
up to 1 week after the end of chelation therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
