Trial Identification

Brief Title: In Vivo Characterization of Macrophages in Pediatric Patients With Malignant Brain Tumors Using Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI

Official Title: MR Imaging of Inflammatory Responses in the Central Nervous System With Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI (Pediatric Brain Tumor Protocol)

Study ID: NCT03179449

Study Description

Brief Summary: This pilot early phase I trial studies how well ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlates with inflammatory (macrophage) responses in pediatric patients with malignant brain tumors. If there is good correlation, ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI can serve as a noninvasive imaging biomarker of inflammation.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To establish the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signal characteristics of macrophages in pediatric patients (\>= 2 years old) with newly diagnosed malignant brain tumors using ferumoxytol, an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particle. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To correlate the MRI signal of ferumoxytol uptake in macrophages with the number of macrophages in surgical tumor specimen at histopathology. OUTLINE: Patients receive a single intravenous infusion of ferumoxytol over 15 minutes. After 24 hours, patients undergo ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients will then undergo MRI-localized tissue sampling and tumor resection.
