Dual Perfusion Imaging for Characterizing Vascular Architecture of Brain Lesions

Study Purpose

The objectives of the study are

(1) to evaluate the feasibility of using a combined spin- and gradient- echo (SAGE) sequence in dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC MRI) and (2) to determine quantitative estimates of vessel density and size to differentiate between areas of radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with a brain metastasis or primary brain tumour and who will undergo MRI with contrast.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject or subject's legally authorized representative is unable or unwilling to consent to the study.

- Subject with documented contrast medium injection contraindication due to severe kidney disease or allergy.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05358340
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Diagnostic (DSC MRI)

Interventions

Diagnostic Test: - Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC MRI)

A dye, known as a contrast agent, will be injected through a needle that is inserted into a vein in the arm or hand. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging will follow.
