Study Summary

This is a single center prospective imaging study investigating the utility of hyperpolarized C-13 pyruvate as a Biomarker of PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibition in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. The current protocol will serve as a companion imaging biomarker study paired with therapeutic trials of PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibitors (e.g. CUDC-907, BYL719), as well as a stand-alone protocol for patients treated with standard-of-care therapies inhibiting the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway (eg. everolimus).

Primary Outcome

The Signal-to-noise ratio with respect to intra-tumoral hyperpolarized (HP) C-13 Lactate/Pyruvate (lac/pyr) ratio detected within target liver or other intra-abdominal metastasis in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies enrolled in the feasibility cohort will be determined

Interventions

  • DEVICE MRI
  • DRUG Pyruvate (13C)
