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

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must have newly diagnosed brain metastases visible on brain MRI. A biopsy of the lesion is not required as long as the patient has a biopsy-proven malignancy elsewhere and a clinician deems the lesion to be metastatic.
  • At least one brain metastasis must be ≥ 1cm to allow adequate quantitative imaging measurement for DSC-PMR.
  • Patient must be clinically eligible for and elect to be treated with GK alone without WBRT.
  • Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Patient must have Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of at least 60
  • Patient may be part of other clinical trials (as long as no other local treatments beyond GK such as WBRT or other local therapy are indicated to the brain) or imaging studies.
  • Patient or legally authorized representative must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Patient must not have any medical contraindications to MRI (e.g., unsafe foreign metallic implants, incompatible pacemaker, inability to lie still for long periods, severe to end-stage kidney disease or on hemodialysis).
  • Patient must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patient must not have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73m2.
  • Patient must not have melanoma.
  • Patient must not have hemorrhagic lesions.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Early Treatment Response of Brain Metastases After Gamma-Knife Radiosurgery Using Dynamic Susceptibility-weighted Contrast-enhanced Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This study is designed to evaluate whether advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI may be used to predict treatment response of brain metastasis after radiosurgery.

Being tested
dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging
Medical subject headings

    Also called DSC-PMR

Study groups in NCT02311556
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DSC-PMRExperimentalDSC-PMR (dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast- enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging) at baseline (screening or time of radiosurgery) and after radiosurgery
Receives: Device: dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to local progression of each treated and evaluable brain metastasis

    Tumor perfusion on DSC-PMR will be used as predictor for time to local tumor progression.

    Measured: At time of radiosurgery and after radiosurgery (approximately 1 week)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Radiation necrosis

    Radiation necrosis will be defined by pathology, when available. When no pathology is available, clinical diagnosis based on clinical course and management will be used.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Complete response

    Complete response = no residue enhancing lesion on MRI

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Elsewhere brain failure

    Elsewhere brain failure = appearance of brain metastases outside of the prior radiosurgery region which can be diagnosed radiographically and does not required require pathological confirmation.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Clinical deterioration

    Clinical deterioration will be assessed based on the Karnofsky Performance scale (KPS).

    • 100=Normal no complaints; no evidence of disease.
    • 90=Able to carry on normal activity; minor signs or symptoms of disease.
    • 80=Normal activity with effort; some signs or symptoms of disease.
    • 70=Cares for self; unable to carry on normal activity or to do active work.
    • 60=Requires occasional assistance, but is able to care for most of his personal needs.
    • 50=Requires considerable assistance and frequent medical care.
    • 40=Disabled; requires special care and assistance.
    • 30=Severely disabled; hospital admission is indicated although death not imminent.
    • 20=Very sick; hospital admission necessary; active supportive treatment necessary.
    • 10=Moribund; fatal processes progressing rapidly.
    • 0=Dead

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in people with Brain Metastases, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 24 Feb 2017. 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?

Time to local progression of each treated and evaluable brain metastasis (time frame: At time of radiosurgery and after radiosurgery (approximately 1 week)). 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 24 Feb 2017.
