MRI scan to monitor response in head and neck cancers
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational MRI scan (hpMRI) to help doctors see how thyroid cancer and other head-and-neck cancers respond to treatment like radiation or other medicines. If you’re eligible, the scan may help track treatment effects more closely, though it’s still being studied for this purpose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be able to sign informed consent and understand the study is experimental
- Have thyroid cancer or another cancer in the head and neck that is planned for treatment
- Be able to safely get an MRI scan (no devices that block MRI)
- Do not have severe claustrophobia that prevents MRI
- No allergy to Gadavist contrast dye and kidney function must be enough for contrast (eGFR 30 or higher)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
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 early-phase study tests whether a special MRI scan with injected labeled “pyruvate” can act as a biomarker (a measurable sign) for advanced solid tumor activity. It may help doctors see tumor metabolism over time and better track how treatment is affecting cancer.
This Phase 2 study uses a special MRI scan (hyperpolarized carbon-13) to look at how well immunotherapy works in gynecologic cancers. You may be able to help researchers better understand treatment response, if you meet the study health and scan-safety requirements.
This trial uses special MRI scans to look at your head, neck, and tumor environment before treatment. It aims to find better ways to understand your cancer and guide care.
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.
