DCE-MRI using an IR trueFISP protocol was applied in a clinical phase I trial of the novel triple angiokinase inhibitor BIBF 1120. A reduction of >40% in iAUC/ Ktrans was observed in a considerable number of patients with a maximum (11/35) after 2 cycles (56 days) of treatment. Most of the responders were treated with doses in the range of 250-300mg once daily and 250mg twice daily BIBF 1120. DCE-MRI results suggest an antiangiogenic effect of BIBF 1120.
