129Xe MRI Clinical Trials Consortium

Consortium Overview

The 129Xe MRI Clinical Trials Consortium (Xe MRI CTC) consists of Clinical Research Centers with established 129Xe in-vivo MRI capabilities and independent INDs (or equivalent) within North America and the United Kingdom. We envision multi-site studies with a centralized Clinical and Data Coordinating Center (CDCC) that can facilitate site monitoring, central IRB where necessary, and blinded scoring and data banking for future retrospective studies. We envision future cooperative partners from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and/or the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), United Kingdom, in addition to private corporations and foundations.
