Fifteen glioblastoma patients treated with combination cediranib and cilengitide were enrolled in a correlative magnetic resonance imaging substudy. Ventricular apparent diffusion coefficient values were found to be statistically different across vendors. Multi-center clinical trials should be particularly careful to ensure that results acquired from different vendors are comparable.
