MRI scan study to track brain tumor changes after treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- If you are in the patient brain-metastasis part: you need at least one untreated brain metastasis larger than 1 centimeter
- If you are in the SRS part: you must have a planned SRS treatment
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial studies brain scan findings to see if specific imaging markers can help understand or predict outcomes in people with brain metastases. It may help researchers improve how brain metastases are evaluated before radiation treatment.
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using a safe tracer to see how brain metastases and brain metabolism change after SRS (a focused radiation treatment). It may help researchers find better ways to monitor treatment response in the brain.
This trial studies whether a special type of MRI during a PET/MRI scan (called CEST) can help doctors better evaluate brain tumors and tumor return after treatment. It may improve how well scans show where disease is before surgery or when tumors come back.
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
This study looks at how a specific kind of MRI picture (called the CEST sequence) can help characterize radiation-related brain injury and changes in brain metastases from lung cancer. It may help doctors better interpret follow-up scans after radiation, without changing your cancer treatment.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well stereotactic radiotherapy works for brain metastases. You may join if you have at least one brain tumor that your doctor thinks should be treated with this precise type of radiation.
