NCT06014905

Brief Summary

This is a Pilot/Phase I clinical study of hyperpolarized 13C (HP 13C) pyruvate injection that includes the acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data performed on participants with meningioma to evaluate metabolism and aid in the non-invasive characterization of aggressive tumor behavior

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of participants who complete 13C pyruvate MR imaging.

    All participants who are enrolled in the study and receive any amount of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate will be included in the primary outcome analysis. The proportion of participants who complete hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate MR imaging will be reported. If the proportion is greater than 0.7, hyperpolarized 13C MR imaging will be determined to be feasible.

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Best Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging protocol ("measurement") to detect altered pyruvate-to-lactate cell metabolism

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

  • Best Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging protocol ("measurement") to detect altered pyruvate-to-alanine cell metabolism

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

  • Best Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging protocol ("measurement") to detect altered pyruvate-to-bicarbonate cell conversion

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

  • Mean of pyruvate-to-lactate

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

  • Mean of pyruvate-to-alanine

    Day of MR imaging (1 day)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate, Magnetic Resonance Imaging

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a single research MR imaging using HP 13C pyruvate, intravenously injected at a rate of 5 ml/second followed by a 20-ml saline flush at 5 ml/second. Safety monitoring, including vital signs and symptom monitoring will be performed for 30 minutes after dosing is completed, 1 to 3 days after dosing, and up to 30 days post scanning procedure. During the follow-up period, study personnel will obtain clinical data from the participants' medical records.

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Known (histopathologically confirmed) or presumed meningioma based on imaging with measurable disease on MRI that shows gadolinium enhancement (at least one cm diameter) intracranially (e.g., not confined to skull base alone).
  • a. Thirty of the participants plan to have surgical resection within 4 weeks
  • Participants cannot have contraindication to MRI examinations.
  • Age \>=18 years.
  • Have a life expectancy of \>12 weeks.
  • Karnofsky Performance Status \> 60%.
  • Participants must have adequate renal function (creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dL) before imaging. This test must be performed within 60 days prior to hyperpolarized imaging scan.
  • Participants must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study.
  • Participants must sign an authorization for the release of their protected health information.

You may not qualify if:

  • Has any significant medical illnesses that in the investigator's opinion cannot be adequately controlled with appropriate therapy, would compromise the patient's ability to participate in this study or any disease that will obscure toxicity or dangerously impact response to the imaging agent.
  • Uncontrolled blood pressure (Systolic BP≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥\>=90 mmHg) despite an optimized regimen of antihypertensive medication.
  • Has a history of any other cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission and off of all therapy for that disease for a minimum of 3 years.
  • Participants must not be pregnant or breast feeding. Women of childbearing potential are required to obtain a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of Hyperpolarized Imaging scan. Effective contraception (men and women) must be used in participants of child-bearing potential.
  • Participants must be excluded from participating in the study if they are not able to comply with the study and/or follow-up procedures.
