About this study

Official title: Application of the Simultaneous PET (FDG)-MR Imaging for the Adult Patients Presented With Brain Tumor From Differential Diagnosis to Prediction of Prognosis

Background and purpose: In adult, the half of the CNS neoplasms are metastatic, and high grade astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas are most frequent malignant tumors among the last half. Recently, integrated MRI-PET (Biograph mMR, Siemens, Germany) was introduced, and can provide simultaneous whole body MRI-PET imaging as well as brain-specific advanced imaging (e.g. DWI, PWI, and DCE). The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether the simultaneous MRI-PET acquisition can improve the diagnostic yield for the patients initially presented with brain tumors, and predict the prognosis in the patients diagnosed with primary high graded astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma.

Read the detailed description

Materials and methods: Simultaneous MRI-PET (FDG) will be prospectively obtained in patients (n = 60) initially presented with brain tumors by using integrated MRI-PET (Biograph mMR, Siemens, Germany). We will exclude the patients suspected to have benign brain tumors such as meningioma and schwannoma on previous imaging studies. We will use the imaging protocols including whole body MRI-PET and advanced brain tumor imaging (DWI, PWI and DCE). In addition, we will analyze the imaging parameters to see whether the enrolled tumors are primary brain tumors or metastatic, and evaluate the tumor grading efficiency and prognosis prediction for the patients with high grade astrocytomas or oligodendrogliomas.

Expected results: We expect that whole body MRI-PET is useful for the differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic brain tumors, and the multiparametric information from DWI, PWI, DCE and PET can be used for the tumor grading and prognosis prediction of the primary brain malignancies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Tumor, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2014. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

PET (FDG)-MR Imaging for the Adult Patients Presented With Brain Tumor (time frame: 2year). 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 25 Feb 2014.
