NCT02526511

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing patients with kidney tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, may help find and diagnose kidney tumors and predict and monitor a patient's response to treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Perfusion MRI outputs

    Univariate and multivariate analyses will be performed to look for associations between pMRI outputs and tumor histopathology. The utilization of perfusion MRI as a diagnostic biomarker for tumor grade and histological subtype will be assessed by correlative comparison to histological evaluation by pathology.

    Up to 6 months

  • Progression free survival

    Kaplan-Meier survival curves will be performed to compare groups of patients to assess progression-free survival.

    Up to 6 months

  • Sensitivity of pMRI

    If possible, receiver operating characteristic curves will be created from pMRI data.

    Up to 6 months

  • Specificity of pMRI

    If possible, receiver operating characteristic curves will be created from pMRI data.

    Up to 6 months

  • Tumor histopathology

    Univariate and multivariate analyses will be performed to look for associations between pMRI outputs and tumor histopathology. The utilization of perfusion MRI as a diagnostic biomarker for tumor grade and histological subtype will be assessed by correlative comparison to histological evaluation by pathology.

    Up to 6 months

  • Progression free survival and/or radiographic tumor evaluation

    The utility of pMRI as a therapeutic biomarker for monitoring or predicting treatment response will be assessed by correlative comparison to progression free survival and/or radiographic tumor evaluation by standard of care radiologic imaging modality, such as Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

    Up to 6 months

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (pMRI)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo DCE, DSC, or ASL pMRI within 30 days of biopsy or surgery. Patients with organ confined tumors selected for active surveillance or surgery and patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma undergo follow up pMRI at 1-6 months.

Procedure: Arterial Spin Labeling Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure: Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure: Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure: Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Interventions

Undergo arterial spin labeled perfusion magnetic resonance imaging

Also known as: ARTERIAL SPIN LABELING FUNCTIONAL MRI, Arterial Spin Labeling MRI, ASL, ASL fMRI
Diagnostic (pMRI)

Undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging

Also known as: DCE MRI, DCE-MRI, DYNAMIC CONTRAST ENHANCED MRI
Diagnostic (pMRI)

Undergo dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging

Also known as: Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-Enhanced MRI
Diagnostic (pMRI)

Undergo perfusion magnetic resonance imaging

Also known as: magnetic resonance perfusion imaging

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must be able to read, understand, and voluntarily sign an informed consent document
  • For patients with organ confined renal tumors to be enrolled, the renal mass must be \>= 1 cm in diameter on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can be any clinical stage T1a-T4 (non-metastatic); a histologic diagnosis is not required for enrollment; the primary imaging site would be kidney
  • For patients with metastatic renal tumors to be enrolled, a histologic diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma must exist and any burden of disease \>= 1 cm by CT or MRI is acceptable; the metastatic sites may be kidney, intra-abdominal (such as liver), brain, bone, or lymph nodes; lung lesions are NOT eligible because of the motion artifact caused by respiration
  • Patients with metastatic disease may have received prior nephrectomy and/or prior systemic therapy (no limit on number); their baseline pMRI would be performed prior to starting a new treatment
  • Negative pregnancy test if female of child-bearing age
  • Able to undergo contrast enhanced MRI

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe concurrent disease, infection, or medical co-morbidity that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment
  • Severe renal function impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m\^2) would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment due to the increased risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) with higher dose of IV gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) administration
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Subjects who are unable to tolerate or are not eligible for MR imaging (claustrophobia, metal implantable devices such as pacemaker, aneurysm clips, etc)
  • Subjects with established allergy to IV GBCA
