Clinical Trials Ramon Barajas is currently running
DSC-MRI
for Recurrent Glioblastoma
This phase II trial studies how well dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) works in measuring relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) for early response to bevacizumab in patients with glioblastoma that has come back. DSC-MRI may help evaluate changes in the blood vessels within the cancer to determine a patient?s response to treatment.

Oxygen-Enhanced MRI
for Brain Tumors
This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of performing oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to generate hypoxia maps in patients with intracranial tumors. Decreased levels of oxygen (hypoxia) is a hallmark of malignant brain tumors. Chronic hypoxia is a stimulator of blood vessel formation, which is required for tumor growth and spread. Hypoxia also limits the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy. MRI is an imaging technique that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. The administration of inhaled oxygen allows for an increased MRI signal effect size. Oxygen-enhanced MRI may be a non-invasive method that can physiologically estimate tissue hypoxia. With a better understanding of the extent of tumor hypoxia, more effective and patient-specific therapies could be devised to halt malignant tumor growth.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the ‘trial drug’ — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
What does Ramon Barajas specialize in?
Ramon Barajas focuses on Brain Cancer and Brain Tumor. In particular, much of their work with Brain Cancer has involved treating patients, or patients who are undergoing treatment.
Is Ramon Barajas currently recruiting for clinical trials?
Yes, Ramon Barajas is currently recruiting for 3 clinical trials in Portland Oregon. If you're interested in participating, you should apply.
Are there any treatments that Ramon Barajas has studied deeply?
