MRI in Evaluating the Effect of Efaproxiral on the Brain in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioma Enrolled on Clinical Trial NABTT-9806

Study Purpose

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors learn how efaproxiral works in the brain and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is using MRI to evaluate the effect of efaproxiral on the brain in patients with recurrent or progressive glioma receiving treatment on clinical trial NABTT-9806.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT00433472
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

OBJECTIVES:

  • - Determine whether efaproxiral has a measurable effect on the brain as shown by T2 and/or T2* MRI in patients with recurrent or progressive malignant glioma enrolled on NABTT-9806.
  • - Determine predicted oxygenation changes based on observed T2 MRI changes in these patients.
  • - Determine the effects of this drug on T2 and T2* MRI relaxation times of normal areas of the brain in these patients.
  • - Determine baseline oxygen extraction ratios in tumors of patients treated with this drug.
  • - Determine whether administration of this drug reveals any new tumor- or non-tumor-related abnormalities on T2 and T2* MRI in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter, pilot study. Patients receive efaproxiral and carmustine on clinical trial NABTT-9806. During any one course of treatment on that study, patients undergo MRI before oxygen administration (baseline), before efaproxiral infusion, and then every 5 minutes until 1 hour after efaproxiral and carmustine treatment. Data is evaluated for extent and intensity of T2/T2* changes and oxygen concentration changes in both abnormal and normal brain. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-48 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-24 months.
