What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing a special MRI scan that uses a unique contrast agent to see how aggressive advanced solid tumors are and how they respond to treatment. About 65 people with advanced solid tumors will get the scan before and during their standard cancer therapy. The goal is to see if this imaging method can predict treatment success better than current scans.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate and 13C,15N-urea (special contrast agents for MRI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to quickly see if a cancer treatment is working, without needing a biopsy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study with only 65 people, so the results may not apply to everyone. The special MRI scan is still experimental and may not be better than current methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of at least one target pelvic, abdominal, thoracic, neck or extremity lesion detected by standard staging scans that, in the judgment of study investigator, would be amenable to hyperpolarized C-13 pyruvate/metabolic MR imaging: a. Target lesion must measure at least 1.0 cm in long axis diameter on Computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 2. The participant is able and willing to comply with study procedures and provide signed and dated informed consent. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1. 4. Adequate renal function defined as creatinine \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated creatinine clearance \>50 mL/min (by the Cockcroft Gault equation). 5. Participants age 18 and older. Part B only: 6. Planned treatment for disease with either standard of care regimen or an investigational agent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who because of age, general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status cannot give valid informed consent. 2. Patients with contra- indications to MRI, such as cardiac pacemakers or non-compatible intracranial vascular clips. 3. Patients with a metallic implant or device that distorts local magnetic field and compromises the quality of MR imaging. 4. Patients with poorly controlled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure at study entry greater than 160mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100mm Hg. Note: The addition of anti-hypertensives to control blood pressure is allowed. 5. Patients with congestive heart failure or New York Heart Association (NYHA) status \>= 2. 6. Patients who are pregnant or lactating. 7. A history of clinically significant EKG abnormalities or myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months of study entry. Note: Patients with rate-controlled atrial fibrillation/flutter will be allowed on study. 8. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator,
