EXplanted LIver and Ex-vivo Pancreatic Specimen Evaluation by 7 TESLA MRI (EXLIPSE)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the characteristics detected by the 7T MRI equipment and the histological composition of native explanted livers (group A), liver graft excluded for donation (group B) and surgical specimens of primary pancreatic tumour, which underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (group C).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Liver Cirrhosis Liver Steatosis Hepatocellular Carcinoma Pancreatic Cancer Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostic Test: 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Not Applicable

Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 30 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Three single groups to be included
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Official Title: EXplanted LIver and Ex-vivo Pancreatic Specimen Evaluation by 7 TESLA MRI - The EXLIPSE Study
Actual Study Start Date : May 24, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 31, 2020
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 31, 2020
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: EX-VIVO SPECIMENS

Three groups of ex-vivo surgical specimen:

Group A: native livers in transplant recipients Group B: liver grafts excluded for donation Group C: primary pancreatic cancer

Diagnostic Test: 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences
  • quantitative magnetic resonance imaging approach
  • proton spectrum analyses

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the correlation between the characteristics detected by the MRI equipment and the histological composition of ex-vivo specimens from hepatic and pancreatic tissues and lesions [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

    The creation of a data-bank will increase the knowledge about imaging features able to characterize many diseases affecting the liver, and to evaluate cell changes that occur in pancreatic cancer and the tumour pathways of spreading; moreover it will provide a reference framework to define proper acquisition protocols for future clinical applications.

    Such data will also provide imaging biomarkers of malignant cells, and show the morphological changes that occur in neoplastic lesions after systemic or loco-regional therapies.
