About this study

The purpose of the research study is to test new methods that could improve diagnosis and assessment of brain tumors. One of these methods is a new MR (magnetic resonance) imaging technique called magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF), which allows for rapidly scanning the patient and provides quantitative information on tumor tissue. The investigators will compare the data gathered from MR Fingerprinting with other imaging tests, clinical information, treatment details and biopsy results to evaluate the accuracy of this new technique.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to 1) evaluate the utility of quantitative MRI imaging including 3D-MRF in differentiating among different brain tumors and differentiating recurrent brain tumor (TR) from treatment effects

Secondary objectives include evaluating the correlation between quantitative MRI imaging with histopathological characteristics and genetic markers in pre-therapy setting and with treatment response and clinical outcomes in post treatment setting.

GROUP 1: All patients with newly diagnosed intra-axial brain neoplasms undergo volumetric MRI study with contrast for surgical planning or clinical diagnosis. Diffusion, diffusion tensor imaging and perfusion imaging are often performed as a part of standard clinical imaging. In addition to these acquisitions, the research 3D-MRF acquisition through the entire tumor will be acquired. The imaging parameters will be correlated individually and in combination with biopsy/ resection outcomes.

GROUP 2: All patients with brain tumors who present at post therapy follow up with imaging progression undergo serial imaging as a part of clinical care. The research 3D-MRF acquisitions will be added to these clinical scans. All the quantitative parameters will be evaluated individually and in combination to differentiate post treatment changes from tumor recurrence.

Conditions: Brain Tumor

What participants receive

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

Magnetic Resonance FingerprintingDevice
Also called MRF, 3D-MRF, MRF relaxometry
Non-contrast MRF acquisition will be acquired through the region of tumor in all patients. For patients receiving intravenous gadolinium based contrast, a post contrast MRF acquisition will also be acquired. This acquisition will be skipped in patients who do not receive or are not eligible for receiving IV contrast as a part of their clinical scan. The research scan will take approximately 10-15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting in people with Brain Tumor, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 25 Aug 2026. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

T1 Pre-contrast Relaxometry Value of Solid Tumor in MRF Scan for Each Tumor Type (time frame: At end of scan (45 minutes after beginning study)). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02956291.

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 25 Aug 2026.
