Prospective Cohort Study on Thermal Ablation of Malignant Liver Tumors

Prospective Cohort Study on Thermal Ablation of Malignant Liver Tumors Within the IMAGIO Project (A-IMAGIO)


Sponsor

Leiden University Medical Center

Enrollment

1,500 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The endpoint of this study is to develop and validate algorithms, using artificial intelligence and machine learning, to optimize patient selection, treatment planning, treatment evaluation and outcome prediction in patients undergoing thermal ablation of a malignant liver tumor. The long-term objective is to establish thermal ablation as the treatment of choice for the vast majority of patients with a primary or secondary liver tumor by development of an accessible workflow that can be widely implemented in different centers performing thermal ablation. Over a time span of at least four years, data will be collected prospectively, encompassing patient information, tumor characteristics, and treatment details. Additionally, pre-, intra-, and post-procedural imaging will be systematically gathered.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is an observational study that follows patients who are having a procedure to destroy liver tumors using heat or cold — a technique called thermal ablation. Instead of surgery, doctors use image-guided probes through the skin to kill tumors. The study tracks outcomes over time to learn more about how well the procedure works. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have been recommended for a percutaneous (through-the-skin) thermal ablation procedure for a liver tumor - Your case has been reviewed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists - You are able to give informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to understand or provide informed consent - Your liver tumor is being treated by surgery or other methods rather than thermal ablation Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
