Trial summary

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic study that makes pictures of organs of the body using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses that can not be felt. The purpose of this study is to determine if new imaging methods can help tumor evaluation in the brain. Read more about this study

About this study

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic study that makes pictures of organs of the body using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses that can not be felt. The purpose of this study is to determine if new imaging methods can help tumor evaluation in the brain. The extra images will be obtained using diffusion and perfusion MRI techniques to assess early treatment response in patients with brain metastasis, and will be compared to methods currently being used.

Study groups in NCT01974804
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pts having an MRIPatients will undergo a 20 minute pretreatment MRI scan and a 30 minute post treatment MRI scan with contrast agent administration. Ten patients with brain metastasis will be recruited in the study. All the patients will be undergoing SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery). Patients will have 1 pretreatment evaluation and 2 post treatment evaluations [1-72 hours post treatment and 8 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) post treatment] for early response. Patients are to be administered contrast prior to obtaining MRI scans. These research scans are estimated to take 20 minutes of scan time (+/- 10 minutes), which includes patient set up and conducting the research sequences..
Receives: Procedure: MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. feasibility of diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    This is a technology assessment protocol for response to treatment. The study is designed to assess the utility of the technology using a limited number of participants. We will assess whether the MR parameters are predictive markers of early response.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 29 Dec 2022. 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?

feasibility of diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (time frame: 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 29 Dec 2022.
