Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients over of 18 who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor of the central nervous system. Patients must have a treatment plan for their brain tumor from their physician.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor of the central nervous system and a treatment plan has been discussed.
  • Must be willing/able to undergo 3-5 MRI scans with IV contrast.
  • You can take part in this study if you are NOT afraid of small, enclosed places.

Who cannot join

  • A patient who is claustrophobic.
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Patients who have electrically, magnetically or mechanically activated implants such as heart pacemaker, magnetic surgical clips, prosthesis or or implanted neurological stimulator.
  • Any patient who has a history of allergic reactions to MR contrast agent (Omniscan, Magnevist, MultiHance)
  • Patients who require general anesthesia to complete MRI exam or patients who have had a negative reaction to MRI sedation. (Chloral Hydrate, Pentobarbital or Versed)
  • You should NOT have any metals, or implanted devices in your body (such as aneurysm clips, pacemakers, or artificial joints or limbs.). You will need to tell us about your medical history including any surgeries you have had.
  • Also, if your job or any other experience might have left metal fragments in your body, please let us know, as the MRI has a strong magnetic field could move a metal fragment in your body or interfere with an implanted device, such as a pacemaker, causing you harm.

About this study

Official title: Quantitation of Human Brain Tumor Therapy Response by MR

The purpose of this study is to determine if new MRI methods that measure various information and chemical makeup in the brain, will give early information regarding response to treatment in patients with brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to see if new MRI methods which measure information related to water, blood flow, and chemical makeup in the brain, can give early information of how well treatment is working in patients with brain tumors.

What is being measured

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

  1. MRI metrics for brain tumor response

    New treatment response MRI metrics derived from change in water diffusion and perfusion from pre-treatment to mid-treatment will be compared to traditional response metrics measured 4 weeks after completion of standard of care chemoradiation for their prediction of patient outcomes and overall survival. The new response metrics are not only measured earlier, but are also quantitative measures for the fraction of tumor exhibiting significant change in diffusion and perfusion assessed on a voxel-by-voxel basis, as well as the volume of dense tumor assessed by analysis of diffusion/perfusion histograms measured over the whole tumor.

    Measured: approximately 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Tumors, run by University of Michigan 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 11 May 2020. 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.

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?

MRI metrics for brain tumor response (time frame: approximately 1 year). 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 11 May 2020.
