Trial Outcomes & Findings for Longitudinal MR Imaging of Pulmonary Function in Patients Receiving Thoracic Radiation Treatment (NCT NCT02478255)

NCT ID: NCT02478255

Last Updated: 2023-02-17

Results Overview

"Ventilation" is defined as the regional 129Xe airspace signal divided by the top 1% of 129Xe airspace signal (representing open-airway ventilation). A "Ventilation Defect" is defined as any region of lung where the Ventilation signal is more than 2 standard deviations below the mean Ventilation signal of healthy volunteer subjects' lungs. "Ventilation Defect Percentage", or VDP, is defined as the volume of a subject's Ventilation Defects divided by the volume of the subject's lung, multiplied by 100%.

Measure
Patients Scheduled to Undergo Radiation Therapy (RT)
Patients scheduled to undergo Radiation Therapy (RT) for lung cancer, or other malignancies such as breast cancer or lymphoma that involve significant irradiation of the thoracic cavity. Hyperpolarized 129-Xenon gas: Hyperpolarized xenon will be administered in multiple doses in volumes up to 25% of subject total lung capacity (TLC) followed by a breath hold of up to 15 seconds. Subsequent 129Xe doses will only be administered once the subject is ready to proceed. MRI: Conventional 1H MRI will be used to provide anatomical reference scans, as well as pulmonary perfusion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, following radiation treatment (up to 3 months)

Population: Subjects that completed visit 1 and visit 2 (n=10) were analyzed. Not applicable to the healthy volunteers group.

"Ventilation" is defined as the regional 129Xe airspace signal divided by the top 1% of 129Xe airspace signal (representing open-airway ventilation). A "Ventilation Defect" is defined as any region of lung where the Ventilation signal is more than 2 standard deviations below the mean Ventilation signal of healthy volunteer subjects' lungs. "Ventilation Defect Percentage", or VDP, is defined as the volume of a subject's Ventilation Defects divided by the volume of the subject's lung, multiplied by 100%.

"Gas exchange" is defined as the ratio of the signal from 129Xe transiently bonding with hemoglobin in the pulmonary capillaries to the local 129Xe airspace signal. In other publications, the investigators have referred to this as "RBC (red blood cell) transfer". A "Gas Exchange Defect" is defined as any region of lung where the Gas Exchange signal is more than 2 standard deviations below the mean Gas Exchange signal of healthy volunteer subjects' lungs. "Gas Exchange Defect Percentage", or EDP, is defined as the volume of a subject's Gas Exchange Defects divided by the volume of the subject's lung, multiplied by 100%.

"Barrier Uptake" is defined as the ratio of the regional signal from 129Xe dissolved in the interstitial space within the alveolar walls to the regional signal from 129Xe in the adjacent airspaces. "High Barrier Uptake" is defined as any region of lung where the Barrier Uptake signal is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean Barrier Uptake signal of healthy volunteer subjects' lungs. "High Barrier Uptake Percentage", or HBUP, is defined as the volume of a subject's lung exhibiting High Barrier Uptake divided by the total volume of the subject's lung, multiplied by 100%.
