Novel Imaging Technique to Assess Gynecologic Cancer

Rapid Motion-Robust Quantitative DCE-MRI For The Assessment Of Gynecologic Cancer

Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

May 13, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Gynecologic Cancer

Summary

This study will test a new type of DCE (dynamic contrast-enhanced) MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to see whether, compared with traditional MRI, it produces better images that provide more information about tumors, which may help doctors make better decisions about treating women who have gynecologic cancer. MRI is commonly used to detect and evaluate many types of cancer, but its slow processing speed and the risk that images will be blurred if the patient moves inside the scanner can limit its use in clinical practice. DCE MRI is a new imaging technique that uses additional computer processing to collect information continuously during scanning, which produces more detailed images faster than traditional MRI, which reduces the risk of movement-related blurring and provides important information about tumor activity. The DCE MRI scan in this study will be done in a standard MRI scanner, using a contrast agent (gadobutrol; Gadavist®) that has been approved by the FDA.

Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria7

Healthy volunteers (for SA1) will be entered into the study if they meet the following criteria:
Women aged 18 years or older.
Willing and able to provide informed consent
Patients (for SA2) will be entered into the study if they meet the following criteria:
Women aged 18 years or older.
Gynecologic cancer undergoing standard of care pelvic MRI prior to treatment
Willing and able to provide informed consent and adhere to the study visit schedule and plan as specified in this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria4

History of allergic reactions to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs)
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must not be pregnant.
Women must not be breastfeeding.
Contraindications/risk factors to 3T MRI as per assessed by our departmental "Comprehensive MRI Screening Questionnaire" and "MRI Contrast Dye Questionnaire" (e.g. risk factors associated with magnetic field such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators or other devices as per standard institutional policy; and risk factors associated with GBCM such as diabetes, dialysis, breastfeeding)

Interventions

DRUGGadobutrol

All DCE imaging will be performed after the intravenous injection of the GBCA Gadobutrol (Gadavist, Bayer Healthcare) at 0.1 mL/kg body weight (0.1 mmol/kg), administered as a bolus at a flow rate of approximately 2 mL/s.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMRI

All subjects will be imaged on the same 3T MRI scanner (GE Healthcare, USA) at MSK for all examinations. For SA1, subjects will undergo a single research DCE-MRI exam. Patients in SA2 will undergo a standard of care pelvic MRI at baseline (which includes DCE-standard) in accordance with standard clinical operating procedures at MSK.
