Study Summary

This trial is looking at using PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and whole body MRI to detect extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Women who can have children must show a negative pregnancy test to participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and whole body MRI detect extramedullary myeloid leukemia in new AML patients. These imaging techniques may improve diagnosis of cancer outside the bone marrow.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on diagnostic procedures rather than treatments, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort during scans and potential allergic reactions to contrast agents like Gadolinium.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive gadolinium IV and undergo whole body PET/MRI comprising diffusion weighted imaging and 3D FSPGR-DE with and without fiducial markers. Patients then undergo 18F-FDG PET/CT before start treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA greenlit Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI) for general use?

"The safety of this diagnostic technique has been measured at a score of 1, as it is currently only in the preliminary stages and lacks substantial evidence to support its efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies open to participate in this research?

"According to the information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, recruitment for this trial has been suspended at present. It was initially listed on May 2nd 2016 and last updated March 28th 2023, but there are still 1577 other studies that require participants."

Answered by AI

What health conditions can be observed with Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI) imaging?

"18F-FDG PET/CT and whole body PET/MRI are frequently used to diagnose seizures, epilepsy. They can also be utilized in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), cancer, and positron emission tomography (PET)."

Answered by AI

What other research has been conducted with regards to Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI) imaging?

"Currently, 27 trials are researching Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI). One of these studies is in its final stage. With a majority located in Wuhan, Hubei province, 30 different sites have begun clinical trial for this treatment."

Answered by AI

What is the cap for enrollment in this experimental program?

"This trial is not presently accepting patients, as the last update was registered on March 28th 2023. If you are nonetheless looking for other studies to participate in, there are 1550 clinical trials recruiting individuals with acute promyelocytic leukemia and 27 research projects actively admitting participants that involve Diagnostic (18F-FDG PET/CT, whole body PET/MRI)."
