About this study

Official title: Novel Multi-Parameter Mapping and Analysis Techniques for Characterization and Treatment Assessment of High Grade Brain Lesions

This trial studies different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques and their ability to provide clearer pictures of lesions in patients with high grade brain lesions. An MRI is a type of imaging scan. Using different MRI techniques to produce clearer images of the brain may help researchers learn about the features of brain lesions and the effects of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To use 3-dimensional (3D) quantitative mapping to determine whether differences in T2 spin parameters exist between the peritumoral area and normal brain in the contralateral hemisphere at baseline.

II. To use 3D quantitative mapping to examine how differences between peritumoral and normal brain in the contralateral hemisphere change before and after treatment.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether T2 values might be useful in distinguishing non-enhancing components of the tumor as well as predicting response to treatment.

II. Quantify T1 and proton density (PD) spin parameters of the peritumoral area and their differences before and after treatment.

III. Examine post-contrast T1 spin parameters with perfusion characteristics as measured by an established dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) technique.

IV. Examine differences in measured perfusion parameters (blood volume and mean transit time of each tumor) before and after treatment.

OUTLINE:

Within 21 days before standard of care chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, patients undergo an MRI scan for the first set of images. Patients then receive either gadobutrol or gadobenate dimeglumine intravenously (IV) and undergo an MRI for the second set of images. All MRI scans take a total of 60 minutes to complete. Patients then repeat the MRI scans 120 days after standard of care chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in T2 spin parameters

    Will use 3-dimensional (3D) quantitative mapping to determine whether different in T2 spin parameters exist between the peritumoral area and normal brain in the contralateral hemisphere. If the data are normal, will calculate 95% confidence intervals around the mean paired difference in baseline T2 between the peritumoral and normal regions. If the data are not normally distributed, ordered statistics will be calculated, and bootstrapping will be used to estimate the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles for the median.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Differences between peritumoral and normal brain

    Will use 3D quantitative mapping to examine how differences between peritumoral and normal brain in the contralateral hemisphere change before and after treatment. The regions of interest drawn on measured magnetic resonance (MR) spin parameter and MR perfusion parameter values will be grouped according to time point (pre- or post-treatment) and area (peritumoral, tumoral, and normal brain in the contralateral hemisphere). Descriptive statistics and boxplots of these measurements, paired differences between areas and paired differences between time points will be calculated. Will calculate 95% confidence intervals around the mean paired change between area differences at baseline and post-treatment.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Usefulness of T2 values in distinguishing non-enhancing components of the tumor

    Will use area under an receive operating curve to determine whether T2 values might be useful in distinguishing non-enhancing components of the tumor as well as predicting response to treatment. Paired data from all patients will be used in this analysis.

    Measured: Up to 120 days

  2. Quantification of T1 and proton density (PD) parameters

    Will quantify T1 and PD spin parameters of the peritumoral area and their differences before and after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 days

  3. Post-contrast T1 spin parameters with perfusion characteristics

    Will examine post-contrast T1 spin parameters with perfusion characteristics as measured by an established dynamic susceptibility contrast technique.

    Measured: Up to 120 days

  4. Differences in measured perfusion parameters before and after treatment.

    Will examine differences in measured perfusion parameters before and after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline up to 120 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gadobenate Dimeglumine, Gadobutrol and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Brain Neoplasm and Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson 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 3 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 21 Nov 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?

Differences in T2 spin parameters (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 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 21 Nov 2022.
