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

Study population: Adults with brain tumors who have had a brain MRI ordered.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects with brain tumors will be enrolled. These subjects may be newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment or undergoing follow-up. If a subject has undergone surgery or treatment they should have what appears to be residual tumor.

Who cannot join

  • Renal failure (GFR <45). Subjects will be screened utilizing UNMC gadolinium contrast guidelines.
  • Allergic reactions to MRI contrast agents.
  • Subjects who do not fit the criteria for the population we are evaluating.
  • Subjects should not participate in this study if they have any of the following conditions:
  • Anxiety attacks
  • Panic disorder
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Claustrophobia
  • Pregnant, or trying to become pregnant
  • Breast feeding
  • Subjects should not participate in this study if they have certain kinds of metal in their body, for example: a heart pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, a metal plate, certain otologic implants, certain types of heart valves, metal slivers in eye, brain aneurysm clips or metal slivers and bullet fragments in or near certain structures in their body. Our standard MRI safety screening will be performed on all subjects.
  • If a subject has metal in their body that requires an additional x-ray beyond what is needed for the clinical MRI examination to safely perform the research MRI examination that subject would be excluded.Subjects not being able to return for a follow-up examination

About this study

Official title: Gadobenate Dimeglumine Compared to Gadobutrol for MRI Perfusion Analysis in Brain Tumor Patients

This study will compare the use of two contrast agents to analyze blood flow characteristics of brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

This study will compare contrast agents, gadobenate dimeglumine and gadobutrol, for MRI perfusion analysis in brain tumor patients.

Keywords
Brain tumor, extraaxial, metastasis, glioma, primary brain tumor, secondary brain tumor, MRI, perfusion, dynamic contrast enhancement, CBV, CBF, ktrans
Medical subject headings
Central Nervous System Neoplasms, Brain Neoplasms, Neoplasm Metastasis, Glioma

What is being measured

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

  1. Degree of contrast induced signal changes with dynamic imaging of brain tumors

    Two contrast agents will be administered in different MRI imaging sessions. Will measure how the appearance of brain tumors change during dynamic first pass contrast administration.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Calculate differences in cerebral blood volume, ktrans and flow in brain tumors

    Calculations will be made of cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow or ktrans in brain tumors when different contrast agents are administered. These parameters reflect vasculature and angiogenesis in tumors.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted24 Mar 2014 (estimated)
  2. Study start1 Sep 2014
  3. Primary completion7 Mar 2017
  4. Study completion7 Mar 2017

Why it stopped: FDA safety concerns with repeated use of gadolinium-based contrast; subjects received additional dose of contrast with no direct clinical benefit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Nervous System Neoplasms, run by University of Nebraska 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 1 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2023. 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 was stopped early (reason given: FDA safety concerns with repeated use of gadolinium-based contrast; subjects received additional dose of contrast with no direct clinical benefit). 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?

Degree of contrast induced signal changes with dynamic imaging of brain tumors (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 23 Aug 2023.
