Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate Metabolic MRI With Infiltrating Gliomas

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Glioma
Interventions
Drug: Hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate
Registration Number
NCT04772456
Lead Sponsor
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of performing hyperpolarized metabolic MRI in the diagnosis of brain tumor. This study will also assess the accuracy of hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to diagnose intermediate to patients with infiltrating gliomas and examine the added utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging

The FDA is allowing the use of hyperpolarized \[1-13C\] pyruvate (HP 13C-pyruvate) in this study.

Up to 5 patients may take part in this study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of metabolic MRI to diagnose GliomaWithin three years post treatment

To study the accuracy of hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to diagnose Glioma Cancer. We will compare the prediction of cancer from the MRI scan compared to actual diagnosis of cancer by any subsequent workup or procedure the participant undergoes. Prediction of cancer from MRI scan will be performed by assigning a standardized score . Actual diagnosis of cancer will be based on tissue pathology.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging in the diagnosis of Glioma cancerWithin three years post treatment

To examine the added utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging. 3. We will quantify the number of participants in which the MRI provided extra information that otherwise was not available during the course of the patient's workup.
