Device: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan
Drug: Tc-99m Pentetate
Registration Number
NCT06116253

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to apply advanced diffusion imaging in a two-pronged assessment of renal mass patients: (1) characterization of lesion malignancy and subtype, and (2) prediction of renal function stability or decline following partial nephrectomy.

GroupInterventionDescription
Renal Mass PatientsMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ScanPatients will be enrolled for 2 MRI visits. These visits will include an approximately 1 hour research MRI scan and a total of between 3 and 5 hours Tc-99m DTPA scan. In each MRI visit, patients will be scanned for approximately one hour including both standard-of-care clinical sequences and research-based Advanced Diffusion Imaging sequences, on a Prisma 3T MRI scanner. Following the MRI exam or on a day not more than a week after the MRI exam, patients will undergo renal function assessment via Tc-99m DTPA scan and patient's kidneys will be scanned using a gamma camera. Proteinuria will be assessed by standard of care urinalysis of specimens collected at each MRI visit for each patient. Blood test will be performed at each visit to estimate GFR (eGFR) from measurement of serum creatinine.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Times Lesion Type is Correctly Predicted using IVIM-MRI at Pre-SurgeryBaseline (1 Week Prior to Operation)

Intravoxel incoherent imaging-MRI (IVIM-MRI) data will be used to predict lesion type.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Times Post-Surgical Renal Function is Correctly Predicted Using REFMAP-MRI at Pre-SurgeryUp to Year 1 Post-Operation

Results from the Renal Flow and Microstructure AnisotroPy-MRI (REFMAP-MRI) pre-surgical scan will be considered as predictors for either stability in renal function or incremental decline in renal function following surgery that would lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD), as defined by mGFR values and proteinuria status at follow-up.

Post-surgical renal insult will be assessed based on either mGFR decline by over 2 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year or the appearance of proteinuria.
