NCT ID NCT07175077
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a powerful 7T MRI scan can detect tiny brain metastases earlier than standard 1.5T/3T scans in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to have preventive brain radiation. Twenty participants will get a 7T brain scan followed by up to a year of standard scans. The goal is to see if the 7T scan spots tumors sooner, which could lead to earlier treatment decisions.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
7T MRI scan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that 7T MRI finds brain metastases much earlier than standard scans, helping doctors monitor high-risk patients more closely.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 people) and only tests detection, not treatment. The 7T MRI may not prove better in practice or may find false positives.
