MRI test to map low-oxygen areas in childhood sarcomas
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed or suspected sarcoma (rhabdomyosarcoma or another non-rhabdomyosarcoma).
- Your tumor is outside the bone (an extra-osseous component).
- Your care team is planning neoadjuvant treatment before surgery, usually chemotherapy and possibly radiation.
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no incompatible metal/pacemakers, and you can tolerate the exam without sedation if needed).
- Your situation fits the main diagnosis and other major health exclusions do not apply.

This trial compares two different chemotherapy schedules for children and young adults with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (a type of muscle cancer). One group gets a higher dose of chemotherapy over a shorter period, while the other gets a lower dose plus maintenance therapy for a longer time. The goal is to see which approach works better.
This Phase 2 trial looks at how two test approaches (an MRI-based scan and blood tests) work in people with a larger, grade 2 or 3 soft tissue sarcoma. It may help researchers learn better ways to measure the disease and guide care.
This trial will see if special MRI scans taken during radiation therapy can help predict how well the tumor responds, potentially guiding future treatment. You will receive standard radiation for sarcoma and have a few extra MRI scans.
This study is testing a new way of using MRI scans to see which parts of a brain tumour are low on oxygen. This could help doctors target radiation therapy more precisely and improve treatment for people with fast-growing brain tumours.
This study tests whether MRI scans can replace CT scans to map bone tumors and plan surgery. If successful, it may allow some patients to avoid CT radiation.
This study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
