About this study
Official title: Fast Brain MRI in Children With Suspected or Confirmed Brain Tumor
This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of a new fast MRI sequence named Neuromix compared to routine clinical MRI for brain tumor in pediatric patients
Read the detailed description
The study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of fast MR sequence for the radiological evaluation of brain tumor in comparison to routine clinical MRI (or reference standard) in a pediatric population.
The primary outcome is the depiction and characterization of normal brain, brain tumor pathology and incidental findings.
Sensitivity, specificity, AUC and intra-/ interreader agreement for the diagnostic performance of Neuromix compared to cMRI will be obtained. Correlation of results between methods will be calculated.
Secondary outcomes will also include the assessment of diagnostic image quality and image artifacts.
The study population will consist of subjects aged 0-18 with a suspected or diagnosed brain tumor referred for routine MRI examination of the brain.
Study subjects will be investigated during the same day at 3T MR with Neuromix sequence in addition to the routine MRI examination.
Volume measurements will be compared.

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?
Diagnostic performance (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 2 Jun 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
