New MRI technique for tiny lungs withdrawn before it began
NCT ID NCT04035629
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to test a special MRI technique using hyperpolarized xenon gas to get detailed images of lung function in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal was to see if this method could reveal areas of poor ventilation or gas exchange without using radiation. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MagniXene (hyperpolarized xenon-129 gas)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors see how well different parts of the lung are working in infants with BPD, without using radiation.
- What could go wrong
- The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected. The technique is still experimental and not yet proven in this population.
