Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial is to validate and demonstrate the clinical usefulness of a protocol for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in people with high grade glioma brain tumors.


Clinical Trial Description

Although DSC-MRI itself is not novel, the consensus protocol tested herein is newly developed in response to a stated need by federal agencies (FDA, NCI) for standardization of imaging endpoints, including perfusion-weighted MRI, in multi-center clinical trials of GBM therapies. Through use of stereotactic methodologies that have been used to demonstrate that rCBV(relative cerebral blood flow) and FTB(fractional tumor burden) measures made by the consensus DSC-MRI protocol are concordant with tissue histology, this multi-site trial will be the first to validate a consensus DSC-MRI protocol on multiple platforms representing all major MRI scanner manufacturers. The trial also formally compares two contrast agent dosing schemes proposed in the consensus protocol, a single-dose BTIP-compliant scheme and a double-dose scheme. Such a comparison has never been tested in patients before, and addresses a longstanding controversy regarding contrast agent administration and dosing for DSC-MRI. Successful validation of the consensus DSC-MRI protocol will likely shift clinical practice paradigms. To date, the widespread adoption of DSC-MRI has been limited by inconsistent published methodologies, rCBV thresholds, and impact on clinical decision making. This trial seeks to improve confidence in DSCMRI methodology as it will foster its adoption for multicenter trials, facilitating the development and testing of novel therapeutic agents and treatment strategies for GBM, and shift clinical practice paradigms by providing strong evidence to support the inclusion of DSC-MRI in established response assessment criteria (i.e., modified RANO). ;
