Osimertinib for lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 change
This Phase 2 study tests osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer pill) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have an EGFR exon 20 insertion. It aims to see how well osimertinib works for this specific EGFR mutation and how safe it is.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT03067467Recruiting
MRI scan study of brain tumors using special carbon imaging
This trial uses a special MRI scan that shows how “metabolism” (how cells use fuel) differs in brain tumors. It may help researchers better understand tumor biology and how tumors may respond to treatment, without using chemotherapy or radiation as part of the study.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT03270059RecruitingPhase 2
MRI with special contrast to study brain and other CNS problems
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
Portland, OregonAges 10 years+ - NCT03232463Enrolling by invitation
Testing an advanced MRI scan in everyday clinic care
This study checks whether a more advanced MRI scan can be safely used in regular clinical practice. If you need an MRI for a health problem, the study may help your care team use the newer scan approach.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT03149341Enrolling by invitation
MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03054792Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
MRI test to map low-oxygen areas in childhood sarcomas
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans to look at “low-oxygen” parts of a childhood sarcoma. It aims to help doctors better understand the tumor before standard treatment that may include chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 6–18 - NCT02829190RecruitingPhase 3
MRI test to map blood flow in neck arteries
This study checks whether a special MRI scan can measure blood flow in certain neck artery branches. It compares results in different groups (healthy people and people with past neck radiation or procedures) to see how well the scan works.
