Toronto, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT02855554Recruiting
MRI heart scan study for specific heart conditions
This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT02122562RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine treatment for depression that hasn’t responded to care
This Phase 2 study tests ketamine for people with major depression that hasn’t improved after at least one antidepressant. It aims to see whether ketamine can reduce depression symptoms during a current depressive episode.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–55 - NCT02390635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI scans to find leukemia outside the bone marrow
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02484885Recruiting
Breath-hold MRI study to test imaging reliability
This study uses a special MRI gas (xenon-129) and scanner software to check how reliably images can be repeated. You may be able to help researchers improve MRI technology, as long as you can safely do the breathing and MRI scanning steps.
London, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT02670031Recruiting
Blood pressure study using heart MRI in adults
This study looks at how the heart muscle reacts in people with high blood pressure. You may have heart imaging (MRI) and blood pressure monitoring to understand patterns and potential ways to help.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT02526368RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Scan your prostate with special MRI using pyruvate to find high-grade cancer
This trial tests whether a specialized MRI scan using a pyruvate tracer can better detect high-grade (more aggressive) prostate cancer. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately and guide treatment decisions or targeted follow-up.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02804269Recruiting
Ages 16 to 90 for heart disease information collection
This is a repository program that collects health and imaging-related information to better understand heart (cardiovascular) health and disease. You may be able to join if you are in the age range and share your data for research use.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 16–90 - NCT02531880RecruitingPhase 1
MRI test of a brain barrier issue in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This early-phase study uses a special MRI approach to look for signs that the “blood-brain barrier” is breaking down in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain and guide future treatments, though it is primarily a testing/study study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT02222844Recruiting
MRI checks for treatment planning in sigmoid colon cancer
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
Huntingdon, CambridgeshireAges 16 years+ - NCT02387255Recruiting
