Lung radiation guided by a special xenon MRI
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer using a special MRI scan with a harmless gas (xenon) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to target radiation away from healthy lung tissue, which may reduce side effects, especially for people who have had radiation before or have lung conditions like COPD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer.
- You need to be planning to receive a full course of radiation therapy to treat your lung cancer.
- This study is especially for people who have had radiation for a previous lung cancer and now have a second lung cancer, or for people whose lungs are not perfectly healthy due to conditions like severe COPD.
- You cannot be pregnant or have any medical condition that makes an MRI unsafe, such as certain implanted metal devices.
- You must be able to comfortably fit inside the MRI machine (weigh less than 300 pounds and not have a chest that is too large) and not be severely claustrophobic.
- You need to be able to give informed consent and not have unstable living situations or active substance dependence.

This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.
This study uses a special gas called xenon to take pictures of your lungs with MRI, a safe imaging method. It aims to improve lung imaging for future patients, and you may participate if you are generally healthy.
This study uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to see how radiation therapy affects your lungs. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and side effects.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to look at how well your lungs work, specifically for people with interstitial lung disease or systemic sclerosis who may have high blood pressure in the lungs. The scan is painless and does not use radiation, and it may help doctors better understand your condition.
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
