About this study

Official title: Advanced MRI for Intracranial Metastasis Treated With Stereotactic Radiosurgery

This clinical trial studies the different types of investigational imaging techniques called sequences during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head before and after radiation therapy in patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (intracranial metastases). This clinical trial also compares these new techniques with standard MRI imaging to see if sequences provide better images. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose solid organ cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Conspicuity:

Ia. To assess the conspicuity of idealized T1 and T2 imaging at detecting brain metastases at baseline. (Quantitative MRI) Ib. To assess the conspicuity (CNR) of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging at detecting brain metastases at baseline. (CEST MRI) Ic. To assess the conspicuity (CNR) of advances in difference equations (Adv Diff) at detecting brain metastases at baseline. (Multiple B Value Diffusion Imaging [Adv Diff]) Id. To assess the conspicuity of gradient- and spin-echo (GESE) dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) and standard Gradient Echo (GE) DSC at detecting brain metastases at baseline. (GESE DSC perfusion imaging)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Conspicuity:

Ia. To assess the conspicuity of T2 imaging at detecting brain metastases on a per-patient basis at follow-up scans and on a per-lesion basis at baseline and at follow-up time points. (Quantitative MRI) Ib. To assess the conspicuity (CNR) of CEST imaging at detecting brain metastases on a per-patient basis at follow-up scans and on a per-lesion basis at baseline and at follow-up time points. (CEST MRI) Ic. To assess the conspicuity (CNR) of Adv Diff at detecting brain metastases on a per-patient basis at follow-up scans and on a per-lesion basis at baseline and at follow-up time points. (Multiple B Value Diffusion Imaging [Adv Diff]) Id. To assess the conspicuity of GESE DSC and standard Gradient Echo (GE) DSC at detecting brain metastases on a per-patient basis at follow-up scans and on a per-lesion basis at baseline and at follow-up time points. (GESE DSC perfusion imaging) II. Treatment response. IIa. To assess the trend of idealized quantitative T1 and T2 values of brain metastases compared to normal brain parenchyma following treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery. (Quantitative MRI) IIb. To assess the ability of CEST imaging to differentiate radiation necrosis from progressive disease in brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery. (CEST MRI) IIc. To assess whether Adv Diff can differentiate radiation necrosis from progressive disease in brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery. (Multiple B Value Diffusion Imaging [Adv Diff]) IId. To assess whether GESE DSC improves differentiation of radiation necrosis from progressive disease in brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery compared to standard GE DSC. (GESE DSC perfusion imaging) IIe. To assess the ability of Adv arterial spin labeling (ASL) to differentiate radiation necrosis from progressive disease in brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery. (Multiple inversion time [TI] ASL "Adv ASL" perfusion)

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo conventional and advanced MRI scans over 60 minutes within 14 days before the start of scheduled brain radiation treatment. Patients then undergo 7 additional MRI scans over 60 minutes each between 4-16 weeks apart. Patients may receive gadolinium and/or iopamidol during MRI scans.

Being tested
Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Gadolinium-Chelate, Iopamidol

What is being measured

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

  1. Contrast to Noise Ratio

    Contrast enhancement compared to baseline and normalized to background noise

    Measured: Participants enrolled in the study were followed for variable amounts of times (up to 2 years and 4 months) from the date of their enrollment and baseline imaging

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Gadolinium-Chelate in people with Malignant Solid Neoplasm, 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 6 Nov 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Contrast to Noise Ratio (time frame: Participants enrolled in the study were followed for variable amounts of times (up to 2 years and 4 months) from the date of their enrollment and baseline imaging). 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 6 Nov 2024.
