Trial Outcomes & Findings for Differentiation of Bone Sarcomas and Osteomyelitis With Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI (NCT NCT01336803)

NCT ID: NCT01336803

Last Updated: 2023-12-27

Results Overview

Differentiation of bone sarcomas and osteomyelitis with ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was assessed as the difference of mean T2 \* relaxation time of bone sarcoma and osteomyelitis subjects. The outcome is reported as the difference of the mean T2 \* values, with standard deviation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: This initial phase of the study was a pilot assessment of participants with bone sarcomas compared to participants with osteomyelitis.

Differentiation of bone sarcomas and osteomyelitis with ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was assessed as the difference of mean T2 \* relaxation time of bone sarcoma and osteomyelitis subjects. The outcome is reported as the difference of the mean T2 \* values, with standard deviation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Post-Treatment-24 hours

Population: Only the participants with bone sarcomas were evaluated for this outcome.

Differentiation of bone sarcomas pre-ferumoxytol and post-ferumoxytol contrast was assessed by difference of mean T2 \* relaxation time pre-ferumoxytol and post-ferumoxytol contrast, in bone sarcoma subjects only.
