Clinical Trials Dirk Mayer, Dr. rer. nat. is currently running
Metabolic MRI with Hyperpolarized Pyruvate
for Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of using hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to study early brain metabolism changes in subjects presenting with head injury and suspected non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study will also compare HP pyruvate MRI-derived metrics in TBI patients with healthy subjects as well as Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients to better understand if metabolic Magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) can improve our ability to diagnose a TBI. The FDA is allowing the use of hyperpolarized \[1-13C\] pyruvate (HP 13C-pyruvate) in this study. Up to 15 patients (5 with TBI, 5 with SAH, and 5 healthy volunteers) may take part in this study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).

Metabolic MRI
for Brain Cancer
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of performing hyperpolarized metabolic MRI in the diagnosis of brain tumor. This study will also assess the accuracy of hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to diagnose intermediate to patients with infiltrating gliomas and examine the added utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging The FDA is allowing the use of hyperpolarized \[1-13C\] pyruvate (HP 13C-pyruvate) in this study. Up to 5 patients may take part in this study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).
