Study Summary

This trial studies how MRI imaging can measure how well cancer treatments are working. It pairs imaging with standard and investigational therapies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who can follow the study plan and have signed consent. They should be fairly active (ECOG 0 or 1), have a tumor at least 1 cm big that's visible on scans, and good kidney function. Pregnant women, those with certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or metal implants affecting MRI quality cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate works as an imaging biomarker when paired with standard cancer treatments or investigational therapies. It involves using metabolic MR imaging to track tumor metabolism in patients receiving these treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on imaging rather than drug effects, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from lying still during the MRI scan and potential risks associated with contrast agents used for imaging.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B/ Phase II: Biomarker CohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will undergo paired hyperpolarized pyruvate/metabolic MR imaging at baseline and again after approximately 21 days of the participants SOC or investigational therapy outside of this protocol.
Group II: Part A / Phase 1: Feasibility Run-InExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will undergo MR imaging at a single time point. Imaging will take one day. and no follow up is planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What aim is this clinical trial attempting to reach?

"This trial seeks to determine the mean percentage change from baseline in intratumoral HP pyruvate/lactate ratio over a single day. Secondary objectives include gauging radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), intra-patient reproducibility of HP lactate/pyruvate ratio, and quantifying adverse events among those who receive doses of HP 13C pyruvate."
