Non-contrast MR Imaging for Whole Body Cancer Detection and Characterization

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

This study aims to learn how to improve MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) that do not require the patient to be injected with a contrast dye. Researchers expect to learn how to better find and describe tumors in patients with prostate cancer. Participants have a whole body research MRI scan within 90 days of a standard-of-care imaging procedure. The research study will collect copies of those scans to compare to the research scans as part of the study analysis. Patients who have additional standard-of-care scans within 12 months after their research scan may be asked to have a second non-contrast MRI for research within 90 days of their follow-up standard of care imaging. The whole body MRI scan will be compared to the standard-of-care scan for prostate cancer detection and to assess patient response to standard-of-care treatment.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: male. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients must have known or suspected genitourinary metastatic disease and have already had or will have a CT, PET/CT, bone scan or MRI with contrast.
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG performance status 0-3.
• Capacity to give informed consent.
• Ability to lay supine for 30-60 minutes
• Ability to hear adequately without hearing aids.

You may not qualify if…

• Patients with medical implants/devices or indwelling foreign material considered unsafe for MRI scanning will be excluded. Safety of medical implants/devices will be determined by the current UC San Diego Radiology and Imaging Services MRI safety policy. The name, manufacturer, and model number of any medical implant/device contained within a potential study subject will be obtained and reviewed to determine safety. Patients will be excluded if any implant/device is found to be unsafe for MRI scanning.
• Patients may be excluded if their weight exceeds 350 lbs, the limit for the safe operation of the MRI scanning table.
• A patient who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant will be excluded.
• Patients with any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may deem them ineligible for study participation.
