Trial summary

Brain imaging tests are routinely used to detect the presence of a brain tumor or to evaluate the response to treatment. Sometimes the images obtained are not specific and the only way to establish a diagnosis is by obtaining a tissue sample. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: DMS-0901: Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Protocol to Distinguish Tumor Recurrence From Treatment-Related Necrosis in Patients With High Grade Gliomas

Brain imaging tests are routinely used to detect the presence of a brain tumor or to evaluate the response to treatment. Sometimes the images obtained are not specific and the only way to establish a diagnosis is by obtaining a tissue sample. The hypotheses of the study is to determine if multimodal MR technique will provide tissue signatures that differentiate between tumor progression and treatment related necrosis in high grade glioma patients.

Being tested
3T MRI

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 3T MRIDevice

    The introduction of the 3T scanners provides a potential opportunity to improve the quality of imaging in neuro-oncology.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To prospectively acquire multiparameter MR variables at 1.5T and 3T MRI from treated high grade glioma patients to assign tissue signatures for tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis as established by pathologic examination.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the predictive values of the multiparameter MR tissue signatures acquired at 1.5T and 3T

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Recurrent High Grade Gliomas, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To prospectively acquire multiparameter MR variables at 1.5T and 3T MRI from treated high grade glioma patients to assign tissue signatures for tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis as established by pathologic examination. (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
