MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a suspected or confirmed glioma (brain tumor) or other solid tumor that may have an IDH mutation
- You are able and scheduled to receive radiation therapy
- You can have an MRI with contrast dye (gadolinium) if needed
- You can follow MRI and radiation planning instructions and can cooperate during scans
- You can give consent (you or your guardian), in writing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
This Phase 1 study tests a new type of MRI scan using a special “hyperpolarized” imaging agent to help doctors diagnose glioma (a type of brain tumor). It’s mainly focused on whether the scan can safely and clearly show tumor-related information in people who may need treatment.
This study tests a new way to plan and deliver radiation therapy for glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) using special MRI scans to target cancer cells more precisely. The goal is to improve treatment effectiveness while reducing harm to healthy brain tissue.
This study uses a special type of PET/MRI scan to look for a common genetic change (IDH mutation) in brain tumors (gliomas). The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these tumors.
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between radiation scar (radiation necrosis) and returning glioma (recurrent glioma) after prior treatment. It may help guide the next steps for care if you have a new or changing brain lesion.
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.
