The short version
This study tests a scan that may show how a meningioma is acting.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for people who have a meningioma. It tests a scan that uses an injection, to look at how the tumor uses energy.
Where it stands. The trial is checking whether this scan can be done, and what it shows about the tumor. The trial has not reported results. The answer is not in yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: If this scan works, it may one day help doctors learn about a tumor without surgery. Someone who fits this trial could ask their care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean the scan is proven. A trial is a test, not a treatment you can get from your own doctor. Being in a trial is not a promise that it will help you. This is not a cure.
