Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This early phase I trial studies how well hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging works in detecting lactate and bicarbonate in participants with central nervous system tumors. Hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging may be used to measure the metabolic state of malignant brain tumors.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a known diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, including
metastases, with known enhancement on magnetic resonance (MR) who are otherwise
eligible to undergo MRI

- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 30 ml/min

- No allergy to gadolinium

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

- Refusal to have an IV placed for injection

- Acute major illness (e.g., unstable angina, etc.) or other condition that makes
participation unsafe, per the investigator?s judgement

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5 x ULN

- Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) > 2.5 x ULN

- Pregnant or breast-feeding

- Cardiovascular risk, including:

- Poorly controlled hypertension, defined as either systolic > 170 or diastolic >
110

- Congestive heart failure

- Myocardial infarction within the past year

- QT prolongation, defined as pretreatment corrected QT interval (QTc) > 440 msec
in males or > 460 msec in females
