Establishment of Scoring Model for Early and Differential Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

April 7, 2022 updated by: Yanjing Gao, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University

Establishment of Scoring Model for Early Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a radiological nomogram including radiological characteristics, clinical risk factors, and medical history. And we aim to establish a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and to construct a differential diagnosis model for ICC and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with higher sensitivity and accuracy.

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.

Detailed Description

In recent years, the incidence and mortality of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) have been increasing worldwide. Due to the different treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and ICC, accurate differential diagnosis is critical for subsequent treatment of patients. However, because of their similar CT image enhancement patterns, they are easily misdiagnosed by clinicians, leading to an incorrect treatment. Based on the above research background, our objective is to establish a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of ICC and and to construct a differential diagnosis model for ICC and HCC with higher sensitivity and accuracy.

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

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Clinical data of patients in hospitals in the past 10 years were retrospectively collected. Pathological database from September 2010 to July 2021 was searched. Patients with definite pathological diagnosis of ICC or HCC were determined as the training group, and patients from September 2021 to September 2023 were prospectively collected as the validation group.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. patients with pathological confirmation of ICC or HCC,
  2. CT was performed less than 15 days before surgery,
  3. Patients with complete clinical data.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. history of other tumors,
  2. Metastatic liver cancer,
  3. Patients received preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy,
  4. Image quality analysis is not ideal.

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Training cohort
Training cohort consists of the patients diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who collected from January 2010 to July 2021 retrospectively.
Internal validation cohort
Internal validation cohort consists of the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients who enrolled from September 2021 of Qilu Hospital prospectively.

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.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
November 22, 2020

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
