Pilot Study to Evaluate Multitracer [18F]Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET, and Advanced MRI Methods at 7Tesla Metabolic Profiling of Glioblastoma
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Summary
* To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by multitracer \[18F\]Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET. * To compare uptake measures of 18F-Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG and MRI quantification of glutamate and lactate levels to tumor tissue laboratory assays (RNA seq and proteomics) of glutamine/glutamate, glucose, and lactate metabolism. * To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by advanced MRI methods at 7 Tesla
Description
Subjects with a new intra-axial brain mass that is consistent with glioblastoma (GBM) on brain MRI or post-treatment histologically or molecularly proven GBM who are suspected to have progression and are candidates for surgical resection according to standard of care may be eligible for this study. Subjects will undergo approximately 45 minutes of dynamic PET/CT scanning after injection of 2 mCi (±20%) of 18F-Fluciclovine. The subject will have a 60-minute break after this initial scan session, they will be allowed to get off the scanner during this time and encouraged to stay hydrated and vo…
