What the trial team says

This feasibility study will assess the clinical potential of a new imaging approach to detect viable high grade glioma (HGG) in pediatric and adult patients after standard of care radiation therapy (RT) with or without concurrent temozolomide (TMZ). Study participants will undergo simultaneous positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) with O-(\[2-\[F-18\]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET, amino acid transport) and 1H-1-(3-\[F-18\]fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-nitroimidazole (FMISO, hypoxia) at the time of standard of care imaging after completion of RT. The presence of viable tumor at this time point will be assessed on a per patient basis. Study participants will be followed clinically and with standard of care (SOC) imaging for up to 2 years after completion of PET/MRI to determine the nature of lesions seen on investigational imaging and to obtain patient outcome data. The imaging data will also be used to develop a semi-automated workflow suitable for implementation in clinical trials and standard of care PET/MRI studies.
