About this study

Official title: 10.5T Safety and Feasibility Study

This unique NMR instrument is the first of its kind, and the most advanced system that is capable of brain, torso and extremity imaging in humans at such a high magnetic field. It will be transformative in performance relative to 7Tesla, and significantly expand the capabilities of multinuclear MRI, fMRI, morphological imaging, MRS etc. in the human brain and body.

In addition, to the known and potential benefits of performing anatomic and functional imaging studies at 10.5T, there are also known short-term side effects associated with subjecting humans to such high magnetic fields. This protocol will study the magnitude and variability of the short term and long term physiological, cognitive and vestibular effects while also assessing the feasibility of acquiring the types of data needed for translating research protocols onto this higher field strength scanner.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physiologic effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Blood Pressure).

    Change in blood pressure will be studied when exposed to 10.5T. Systolic and diastolic pressures (mmHg) will be measured before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  2. Physiologic effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Heart Rate).

    Change in heart rate will be studied when exposed to 10.5T. Heart rate (beats per minute) will be measured before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  3. Physiologic effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation (SPO2)).

    Change in peripheral capillary oxygen saturation will be studied when exposed to 10.5T. Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (%) will be measured before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  4. Physiologic effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Respiration Rate).

    Change in respiration rate will be studied when exposed to 10.5T. Respiration rate (breaths per minute) will be measured before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  5. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Brief Fatigue Inventory).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Brief Fatigue Inventory. Brief Fatigue Inventory (average score) will be administered before first 10.5T exposure, day after first 10.5T exposure, before second 10.5T exposure, and day after second 10.5T exposure.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  6. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Letter Number Sequencing).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Letter Number Sequencing. Letter Number Sequencing (total raw score) will be administered before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  7. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Digit Span Test).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Digit Span Test. Digit Span Test (total raw score) will be administered before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  8. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Hopkins Verbal Test).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Hopkins Verbal Test. Hopkins Verbal Test (total recall, delayed recall, retention %, recognition discrimination index) will be administered before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  9. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Symbol Digit Modalities Test).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Symbol Digit Modalities Test (# correct in 90 seconds) will be administered before first 10.5T exposure after first 10.5T exposure, before second 10.5T exposure, and after second 10.5T exposure.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  10. Cognitive effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Trail Making Test).

    Change in cognitive function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Trail Making Test. Trail Making Test (time to completion) will be administered before first 10.5T exposure after first 10.5T exposure, before second 10.5T exposure, and after second 10.5T exposure.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  11. Vestibular effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale).

    Change in vestibular function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale. Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale (% of self confidence) will be administered before first 10.5T exposure, day after first 10.5T exposure, before second 10.5T exposure, and day after second 10.5T exposure.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  12. Vestibular effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Smooth Pursuit).

    Change in vestibular function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using smooth pursuit test. Smooth pursuit test (# of saccades for 4 types of eye movements) will be administered before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

  13. Vestibular effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Spontaneous Eye Movement).

    Change in vestibular function will be studied when exposed to 10.5T using spontaneous eye movement test. Spontaneous eye movement test (# of saccades with and without fixation) will be administered before, during, and after 10.5T exposure at baseline and 2-4 weeks later.

    Measured: Baseline and 2-4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by University of Minnesota 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 13 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 18 Oct 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?

Physiologic effects of human exposure to 10.5T (Blood Pressure). (time frame: Baseline and 2-4 weeks). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Oct 2022.
