NCT ID NCT06126159
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special MRI can tell the difference between harmless and cancerous kidney growths when standard CT scans cannot see fat. About 44 adults with kidney masses that have no visible fat on CT will get this advanced MRI. The goal is to see if the MRI can identify tumor types and guide treatment without needing a needle biopsy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
multiparametric and fat-detection magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this MRI method could help doctors diagnose kidney tumor types without needing a biopsy, guiding treatment decisions more safely.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The MRI technique may not be accurate enough to replace biopsy in all cases.
