Imaging study for people with high-risk leukemia
This early (Phase 1) study tests how a special scan works in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat leukemia types. The scan uses a tracer called 18F FLT, and the study looks to see if it can be done safely (without sedation) and how it relates to treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4–80 - NCT03649880RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a special PET scan for brain tumor activity
This trial studies whether a brain PET scan using a medicine called FMISO can help show how active certain brain tumors are. It mainly aims to see if the scan is practical and useful in planning care for people with suspected or known brain tumors.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03678389Recruiting
Check feasibility of a coil for pituitary surgery imaging
This trial tests whether a special coil can be placed during pituitary tumor surgery to improve imaging while the surgeon is operating. It may help surgeons see the pituitary area in real time during a transsphenoidal (through the nose) operation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT03684109Recruiting
MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03684655RecruitingPhase 2
PET-MR scan study of immune activity in people with HIV
This Phase 2 study uses a special whole-body scan (PET-MR) to measure immune activity in people living with HIV. It may help researchers understand how well the immune system responds and how to better track HIV-related inflammation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03686709Recruiting
Extra scan and blood testing with Y90 radioembolization
This study looks at how well Y90 “radioembolization” treatment delivers radiation and how much radiation reaches your body. If you can safely get extra PET/CT scans and blood tests around your treatment, you may be invited to participate.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03694756Recruiting
Testing special MRI to see tiny breast cancer structures
This study is testing whether a special MRI scan can help show tiny features inside breast tumors (TMEM). It’s mainly a “feasibility” study, meaning the team is checking if the scan can be done safely and clearly in different types of operable breast cancer.
