Official title
Multi-disciplinary Study: MR, Histologic and EM Imaging of Intravenous Superparamagnetic Crystalline Particles (Combidex) to Brain, Intra-cerebral Tumors and in CNS Inflammation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Combidex (ferumoxtran-10) is an ultra-small iron oxide particle covered with a sugar coating. It has been evaluated as an MRI contrast agent for use in imaging well perfused organs such as the liver and spleen and for imaging lymph nodes. In this study, Combidex is being used to compare the standard imaging agent, Gadolinium, in imaging brain tumors and the area adjacent to the tumor location. Combidex may provide the ability to better see brain tumors and inflammatory lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Combidex may be useful in its ability to cross blood vessels into brain tumors, and because of its size and ability to get into the area next to brain tumors, could assist in the treatment of brain tumors with other drugs in the future.
