NCT05641935

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) works for diagnosing patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) that has come back (recurrent) after an ablation. Diagnostic imaging, such as CEUS, may help find and monitor long term renal cell cancer recurrence following cryo or microwave ablation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Renal cell carcinoma recurrence

    Baseline imaging will be reviewed and compared to the contrast enhanced imaging to diagnose recurrence.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Improvement of diagnostic imaging using 2D contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with magnetic resonance/ computed tomography fusion

    Up to 2 years

  • Measurement with multimodality 3D CEUS to improve detection of recurrence

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (CEUS with MRI/CT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive Lumason IV and undergo CEUS imaging with MRI/CT on study. Patients' electronic medical record is reviewed every 6 months throughout study.
