RECRUITING

Radiologic Pathologic Correlation of Imaging to Distinguish True Progression From Pseudoprogression in Brain Malignancies

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

To learn if advanced imaging methods can tell apart true progression (the disease has actually gotten worse) from pseudoprogression (the disease appears to have gotten worse, but it actually has not).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Participants is \>18 years old. The pediatric population has a different disease profile from adult glioma participants. To reduce heterogeneity in the patient population we will not consider participants younger than 18 for this study.
  2. 2. The participants agrees to participate in the clinical study and to complete all required visits and evaluations.
  3. 3. Participants has undergone prior treatment for a brain tumor and has a new suspicious imaging finding requiring diagnostic workup and is being considered for biopsy.
  4. 4. Participants agrees to undergo, prior to the procedure, the needed imaging evaluation (within 14 days and preferably with 3 days of the planned procedure).
  1. 1. Renal failure as evidenced by a GFR of less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2 for gadolinium based imaging. In the absence of eGFR lab result, participants is not excluded in the absence of remarkable pathological renal history, as confirmed by and in the discretion of the PI.
  2. 2. For iodinated contrast agent we will use the more strict cut-off of 45 mL/min/1.73m2 ((Davenport, Perazella et al. 2020), Consensus statement from the ACR and the National Kidney Foundation). The different threshold reflects the different risk profiles of these agents. Participants with GFR in the range 30-45 can receive a Non-Contrast DECT (CT contrast withheld).
  3. 3. Pacemakers, electronic stimulation, metallic foreign bodies and devices and/or other conditions that are not MR safe, which include but are not limited to:
  4. * electronically, magnetically, and mechanically activated implants
  5. * ferromagnetic or electronically operated active devices like automatic cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers
  6. * metallic splinters in the eye
  7. * ferromagnetic hemostatic clips in the central nervous system (CNS) or body
  8. * cochlear implants
  9. * other pacemakers, e.g., for the carotid sinus
  10. * insulin pumps and nerve stimulators
  11. * non-MR safe lead wires
  12. * prosthetic heart valves (if dehiscence is suspected)
  13. * non-ferromagnetic stapedial implants
  14. * pregnancy
  15. * claustrophobia that does not readily respond to oral medication.
  16. 4. Allergy to relevant imaging contrast agents, includes allergies to iodine or gadolinium-based contrast agents (if one class of agents is contra-indicated, then imaging with the other can still proceed).
