Spectroscopic MRI Guided Proton Therapy in Assessing Metabolic Change in Pediatric Patients With Brain Tumors
Spectroscopic MRI Guided Proton Therapy for Pediatric High-Grade Glioma (RAD4500)
Sponsor
Emory University
Enrollment
25 participants
Start Date
Dec 20, 2018
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This trial studies how well spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided proton therapy works in assessing metabolic change in pediatric patients with brain tumors. The non-invasive imaging, such as spectroscopic MRI may help to map the differences in tumor metabolism compared to healthy tissue without injection of any contrast agent.
Eligibility
Max Age: 21 Years
Inclusion Criteria5
- Pathologically diagnosed high-grade glioma (World Health Organization \[WHO\] grade 3-4). Patients with a radiographically diagnosed high-grade glioma may enroll prior to pathologic confirmation, but would be removed from study if pathology did not confirm the diagnosis of high-grade glioma.
- Primary tumor located within the supratentorial brain.
- Recommended to receive definitive radiation therapy.
- Able to receive MRI scans.
- Both males and females, and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Patients with pacemakers, non-titanium aneurysm clips, neurostimulators, cochlear implants, non-titanium metal in ocular structures, or other incompatible implants which makes MRI safety an issue are excluded.
- Patients that have any significant medical illnesses that in the investigator's opinion cannot be adequately tolerate MRI scan are excluded.
- Pathology demonstrated low-grade glioma or other benign or non-invasive brain tumor.
