Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs)
Up to 4 years

Safety evaluation for endpoint will include monitoring for the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). Reported toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology (Toxicity) Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. All available safety data will be used and will be analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Peak lactate/pyruvate
Up to 4 years

The peak lactate/pyruvate in tumor and normal appearing brain tissue will be reported.

Peak bicarbonate/pyruvate
Up to 4 years

The peak bicarbonate/pyruvate in tumor and normal appearing brain tissue will be reported.

Change in peak lactate/pyruvate between scans
Baseline up to 4 years

The change in peak lactate/pyruvate between scans will be reported.

Change in peak bicarbonate/pyruvate between scans
Baseline up to 4 years

The change in peak bicarbonate/pyruvate between scans will be reported.

ArmTypeDescription
Cohort 1 (MRI, MRSI) (CLOSED TO ENROLLMENT)EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo MRI and MRSI scans over 1 hour at baseline. Patients then continue to undergo MRSI scans that follow the clinical MRI schedule set by doctors to monitor patients' care. Participants enrolled in cohort 1 may later enroll in cohort 2 of study once eligibility has been reviewed and approved by neuro-oncologist
Cohort 2 (MRI, hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate, MRSI)EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo MRI scan at baseline. Patients then receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate IV over less than 1 minute and undergo MRSI scan at baseline. Patients then continue to undergo MRSI scans that follow the clinical MRI schedule set by doctors to monitor patients' care.
