Study Summary

This trial uses FMISO to see how much oxygen is getting to brain tumors and whether PET/MRI can show this.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with known or suspected brain tumors who can consent to the study. They should have a performance score indicating they're fairly active and able to care for themselves, and either planning or have had treatment for their tumor. Pregnant individuals, those with severe kidney issues, claustrophobia, certain allergies, or conditions where oxygen therapy could be harmful are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well FMISO works with PET/MRI scans in assessing malignant brain tumors by showing oxygen levels within the tumor. This may help understand the tumor's behavior better and improve imaging techniques.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects of FMISO PET/MRI might include discomfort from lying still during scanning procedures, allergic reactions to contrast agents used in imaging (if any), and exposure to radiation from PET scans.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Diagnostic (FMISO, PET/MRI or PET/CT)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Participants receive FMISO intravenously (IV). Participants also undergo dynamic PET/computed tomography (CT) or PET/MRI over 120 minutes beginning 1 minute prior to FMISO injection, and static PET/CT or PET/MRI over 20-40 minutes approximately 90 minutes after FMISO injection. Participants then undergo a retest examination within 7 days. Participants may undergo 2 more PET/MRI or PET/CT scans no sooner than every 4 weeks. Supplemental oxygen may be administered to effect MRI signal.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How many study participants will be included in this research?

"That is accurate. The clinicaltrial.gov website has information suggesting that the study is still looking for 20 patients to enroll at 1 location."

Answered by AI

What other research projects have used Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology?

"There is 1 active clinical trial studying the effects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This research project has not yet reached Phase 3 and is based in Portland, Oregon."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA cleared Magnetic Resonance Imaging for use?

"While Phase 2 trials don't have data supporting efficacy, there is some safety data available which resulted in our team giving it a score of 2."

Answered by AI

Can more people join this clinical trial?

"That is accurate. The clinical trial, which began recruitment on June 1st 2019, as indicated by information found on clinicaltrials.gov, is still looking for 20 participants at a single location."
