  • "Comparison of a 7t MRI to standard of care 1.5t/3t MRI scans to determine if earlier detection of brain metastases are possible on a 7t."
  • "Patients must have had a 1.5t/3t MRI performed within 4 weeks of consenting to the trial that was negative for brain metastases."
  • "Patients will then undergo a 7t MRI \& be followed for their standard of care scans for 12 months or until confirmed metastases are detected."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). • Patient must have an MRI of the brain, performed within 4 weeks prior to consent, documenting no evidence of brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease. * Patient also must not have a history of brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease. * Patient must refuse PCI and agree to surveillance with brain MRI scans (1.5T/3T). * Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age. * Patient must have ECOG Performance Status of 0-2 * Patients must be able to tolerate the 7T MRI Exclusion Criteria: * Patient must not have a contraindication to an MRI, such as implanted metal devices or foreign bodies. * Patient must not have a contraindication to gadolinium contrast administration during MR imaging. * Patient must not have other metastatic malignancies requiring current active treatment. * Pregnant patients are excluded. Pregnancy status will be confirmed verbally.
