About this trial

This pilot phase I trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT), and whole body MRI work in finding extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Extramedullary myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer found outside of the bone marrow and can be hard to detect with routine bone marrow monitoring, such as bone marrow aspirations. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and whole body MRI, may help find and diagnose extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of extramedullary myeloid leukemia (EML)

Defined as increased fludeoxyglucose F-18 uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography and increased signal on T2 weighted imaging or diffusion weighted imaging and enhancement in soft tissue on whole body PET/magnetic resonance imaging. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of EML will be reported for each imaging modality based on the exact Clopper-Pearson method.
