Application of ferumoxytol as an MR imaging contrast agent in evaluating brain malignancies

Study TitlePhaseClinical Trial Description
Imaging vascular properties of pediatric brain tumors using ferumoxytol and gadolinium in a single imaging session; an NCI-sponsored exploratory trial (code 7228) (NCT00978562)730To assess the safety and effectiveness of ferumoxytol in improving the ability to image pediatric brain tumors
MRI using ferumoxytol in patients with primary brain cancer or brain metastases from lung or breast cancer; an NCI-sponsored multidisciplinary study (NCT00103038)742Characterization of vascular properties of tumors in the CNS using ferumoxytol for dynamic-susceptibility contrast MRI to compare with those obtained using a gadolinium-based contrast agent for dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging in a single MR imaging session; imaging properties will be assessed longitudinally with up to 6 imaging sessions for 2 years
