As survival increases, late toxicity from cancer therapy becomes a larger burden. Radiation induced vascular injury following RT is a recognized complication of radiotherapy. Diagnosis of vascular changes predominately relies on non-invasive imaging techniques. Doppler ultrasound assessment has been proven as a good indicator of diffuse atherosclerotic disease and a significant predictor of future vascular events. New opportunities are provided by the recent introduction of the hybrid PET/MRI scanners for investigating the synergistic effect of these two modalities without the challenge of image co-registration. It has been shown that the PET system integrated with the MRI scanner performs the same as the PET portion of a PET/CT for various cancers and cardiovascular indications. MRI allows better delineation of the carotid artery and atherosclerotic plaque when compared with CT due to the superior soft tissue contrast. The PET/MRI system acquires the PET and MRI simultaneously allowing for perfect alignment between the 2 sets of images, when compared with the sequential acquisition in PET/CT where minor head movements can cause misalignment. There is evidence in the literature that 68-Ga DOTA-TATE PET-imaging can serve as a surrogate marker for evidence of invasion into the vessel wall and thereby possibly detects early, developing atherosclerotic plaque. Thus, combined PET and MR with 68-Ga DOTA-TATE should be a promising imaging tool to screen and characterize patients at risk for radiation induced carotid injury.\n\nIn this study, DOTATATE-PET/MR will be performed in up to 60 patients with a history of radiation therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma over 2 years.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '30 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* previously treated with radiation for head and neck malignancy;\n* Age Group: ≥30 years;\n* Patients who have no contraindications to PET/MRI;\n* No allergy to contrast agents.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnant females;\n* Age group: \\< 30 years;\n* Allergy to MR contrast agents;\n* Pacemakers/ICD/Claustrophobic patients.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04040166', 'briefTitle': 'Carotid PET/MRI With DOTATATE in Patients Post Head and Neck Radiation Therapy', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Health Network, Toronto'}, 'officialTitle': 'PET/MR of the Carotid Arteries With 68Ga DOTATATE in Patients Following Head and Neck Radiation Therapy and at Risk of Cerebrovascular Events', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '18-6313'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'PET/MRI scan with 68Ga DOTATATE', 'description': 'PET/MRI scan with 68Ga DOTATATE of carotid arteries in in patients following head and neck radiation therapy', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: PET/MRI of carotid arteries with 68Ga DOTATATE']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'PET/MRI of carotid arteries with 68Ga DOTATATE', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'PET/MRI of carotid arteries with 68Ga DOTATATE in patients post head and neck radiation therapy', 'armGroupLabels': ['PET/MRI scan with 68Ga DOTATATE']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'M5G 2M9', 'city': 'Toronto', 'state': 'Ontario', 'country': 'Canada', 'facility': 'University Health Network', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 43.70643, 'lon': -79.39864}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Patrick Veit-Haibach, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University Health Network, Toronto'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Health Network, Toronto', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
