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.

Summary

This study looks at whether doing MRI scans in the same position used for radiation treatment helps doctors plan more accurate therapy for spinal tumors. About 21 adults with cancer that has spread to the spine will have two MRI scans—one with a special immobilization device and one without. The goal is to find the best way to use MRI for spinal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
