New brain scan technique aims to catch deadly cancer earlier

NCT ID NCT07415018

Summary

This study aims to see if using a new contrast agent called gadopiclenol during MRI brain scans can help doctors detect leptomeningeal disease (LMD) earlier. LMD is a serious complication where cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Researchers will test different doses and scan settings in 40 adult cancer patients to find the best way to spot this disease sooner, which could lead to faster treatment.
