About this trial

This phase I trial evaluates the feasibility of using hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma. This trial aims to see whether MRI using hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate is safe and useful for detecting central nervous system lymphoma and evaluating response to treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

For Patients in Cohort 1: Histologically proven relapsed PCNSL who have evidence of evaluable disease based on a prior MR scan, or relapsed CNS lymphoma: measurable disease based on MRI is defined as gadolinium enhancement of a CNS lymphoma lesion (at least one centimeter (cm) diameter).

For Patients in Cohort 2: Histologically proven newly diagnosed PCNSL who will receive standard treatment with high-dose methotrexate, temozolomide plus rituximab (MT-R). These criteria will ensure validity of this study in terms of safety, evaluation of clinically and radiographically relevant disease.

Patients must be > 18 years old and with a life expectancy > 12 weeks.

Patients are eligible provided the participant had histologic confirmation of CNS non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), DLBCL-type.
