Developing a New MRI Technique to Understand Changes in Brain Tumors After Treatment

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to see if it can be used to tell the difference between tumor growth from worsening of cancer and growth from the effects of treatment in participants who have brain tumors treated with radiation therapy called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	Yes
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.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Healthy volunteers [for Study Aim 1 (SA1)] will be entered into the study if they meet the following criteria:

- Age ≥ 18 years.

- No known cancer diagnosis.

Patients [for Study Aim 3 (SA3)] will be entered into the study if they meet the following criteria:

- Age ≥ 18 years.

- Able to understand and give informed consent.

- At least one untreated brain metastasis > 1cm (e.g., an enhancing lesion in the brain of a patient with known systemic cancer determined likely to represent metastasis by neuroradiologist) - Planned SRS treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Healthy volunteers (SA1) and patients (SA2)

exclusion criteria:

- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

- Pre-existing medical conditions, including the likelihood of developing seizures or claustrophobic reactions, and any greater than normal potential for cardiac arrest.

- Age < 18 years

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.	NCT05559853
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.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Participants with Brain Metastases

Participants will have at least one untreated brain metastasis > 1cm

: Healthy participants

Participants will have no known cancer diagnosis. Volunteers enrolled on this protocol may undergo multiple MRI examinations periodically for studies of reproducibility.

Interventions

Diagnostic Test: - CEST-MRF

CEST-MRF enables accurate quantification of both proton exchange rates and volume fractions in a fraction of the time required by conventional pulse sequences will be developed and optimized.
