Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI(DCE-MRI)of Bone Tumors
NCT00598741 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to see whether fast imaging with MRI and the usual contrast material used for MRI, predicts which patients will do well with treatment. Some studies suggest that MRIs done right before surgery may be able to tell how much of the cancer was killed by the chemotherapy. This study will see if this is true in patients with osteogenic sarcoma (OS) and Ewing's sarcoma (ES). This study will also see if MRIs done early in treatment can tell if the chemotherapy is working.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00598741
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00598741 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 61 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which has 2,280 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Sarcoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which DCE-MRI is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00598741 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
