Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot early phase I trial studies how well ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlates with inflammatory (macrophage) responses in pediatric patients with malignant brain tumors. If there is good correlation, ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI can serve as a noninvasive imaging biomarker of inflammation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To establish the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signal characteristics of macrophages in pediatric patients (\>= 2 years old) with newly diagnosed malignant brain tumors using ferumoxytol, an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particle.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To correlate the MRI signal of ferumoxytol uptake in macrophages with the number of macrophages in surgical tumor specimen at histopathology.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive a single intravenous infusion of ferumoxytol over 15 minutes. After 24 hours, patients undergo ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients will then undergo MRI-localized tissue sampling and tumor resection.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Diagnostic (ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI)

All subjects in the experimental arm will have a single intravenous dose of ferumoxytol (5 mg Fe/kg), to be administered 24 hours before the subject undergoes ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These subjects will subsequently undergo surgery, and tissue analysis of surgically resected samples (specifically the number of iron-containing and non-iron-containing macrophages) will be correlated with imaging features on ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI.
