CEST in low-grade glioma brain tumor study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan called CEST to look at low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors learn more about these tumors without needing as many invasive tests. You may join if you have a low-grade glioma and haven't needed treatment yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 12 years old
- You have a suspected or confirmed low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor)
- You can have an MRI scan
- Your kidney function is adequate (eGFR above 30)
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation therapy for this tumor before
- You do not need immediate treatment like surgery, chemo, or radiation
- You are being seen at Sunnybrook Hospital or St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto

This early-phase study tests how well a special PET-MRI scan (using a radioactive tracer) can find and measure low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors better track these tumors while you start or continue treatment.
This trial is testing a new way to find and remove glioblastoma brain tumors using a special MRI scan. It may help doctors remove more of the tumor safely during surgery.
This study is testing a new type of MRI called APTw-CEST to see if it can better detect tumor progression in people with glioblastoma. It may help doctors monitor your tumor more accurately during radiation or chemoradiation therapy.
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 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 study records health details about adults who may have a low-grade glioma (a slower-growing brain tumor) based on scan results. Researchers use these data to better understand disease patterns and outcomes, and help connect individual patients to future research.
