About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain chemical information from part of your body without a biopsy. This is done using a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) which is similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) except that signals are detected from the chemicals (spectroscopy) naturally present in your body using radio waves. To receive this information from your body, small loops of wire (surface coils), placed near the tissue of interest, may be used to more effectively detect signals that come from the chemicals in your body. The investigators may use a second radio channel simultaneously, which will allow us to obtain greater chemical information (decoupling). The results may also help us to understand how this study can be used to help other patients with your condition.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose to use 1H spectroscopy or 1H decoupled 31P NMR spectroscopy to obtain biochemical information about tumor metabolism in patients, both before and after antineoplastic therapy. In healthy volunteers, normal tissue metabolism will also be studied. It is hypothesized that metabolic information may be of prognostic significance, or may be useful for timing of therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Proton-decoupled 31P MRS at 1.5TDevice

    The study will use a dual 1H-31P surface coil pair obtained from IGG Medical Advances, Milwaukee, WI. The coil pair consists of a fixed, 12 cm square 31P resonator co-mounted with a flexible two-loop proton coil. The P.I. and colleagues have used this device for approximately 10 years with no apparent ill effects

  • 1H Spectroscopy at 1.5T and 3TDevice

    The study will use surface coils manufactured by commercial vendors. The pulse sequence programs to be used will be monitored automatically by the scanner to insure that SAR limits are not exceeded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To obtain high resolution spectra from tumors using surface coils to improve sensitivity.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In some of these studies, to enhance our spectral resolution and obtain additional metabolic information, we propose to use decoupling, which will increase both signal quality (the signal to noise ratio) and spectral resolution.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Proton-decoupled 31P MRS at 1.5T and 1H Spectroscopy at 1.5T and 3T in people with Adrenal Cortical Cancer and Brain Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To obtain high resolution spectra from tumors using surface coils to improve sensitivity. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Dec 2015.
