About This Brain Malignancies Study in Houston

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).

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

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.
The participants agrees to participate in the clinical study and to complete all required visits and evaluations.
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.
Participants agrees to undergo, prior to the procedure, the needed imaging evaluation (within 14 days and preferably with 3 days of the planned procedure).

Exclusion Criteria

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.
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).
Pacemakers, electronic stimulation, metallic foreign bodies and devices and/or other conditions that are not MR safe, which include but are not limited to:
electronically, magnetically, and mechanically activated implants
ferromagnetic or electronically operated active devices like automatic cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers
metallic splinters in the eye
ferromagnetic hemostatic clips in the central nervous system (CNS) or body
cochlear implants
other pacemakers, e.g., for the carotid sinus
insulin pumps and nerve stimulators
non-MR safe lead wires
prosthetic heart valves (if dehiscence is suspected)
non-ferromagnetic stapedial implants
claustrophobia that does not readily respond to oral medication. Nonetheless, if patients have an electronic device for which manufacturer's guidelines exist to permit safe MR scanning (such as the Cardiology supervised pacemaker scanning program), such a patient would still be eligible to participate in the trial. Such patients will be scanned as per manufacturers recommendations.
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).
