IVIM & OLINK in Sarcoma (NCT05950594)

Prospective Study of Image and Blood-derived Biomarkers to Predict Metastasis in Soft-tissue Sarcomas

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The hypoxia \> metastasis axis suggests that a DWI-based biomarker of hypoxia incorporating IVIM may be able to predict metastasis in STS patients, ultimately enabling stratification for personalized treatments at the time of diagnostic (MR) imaging, without adding an excessive burden to the patient or clinical workflow (typical DWI/IVIM sequences can be acquired acquired in approximately 5 minutes).
