Novel Dynamic PET Kinetics and MRI Radiomics Analyses in Brain Tumors
Description
Brief Summary
This early phase I trial tests the use of a radioactive tracer (a drug that is visible during
an imaging test) known as 18F-FMAU, for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed
tomography (PET/CT) in patients with brain cancer or cancer that has spread to the brain
(brain metastases). A PET/CT scan is an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive
tracer (given through the vein) to take detailed pictures of areas inside the body where the
tracer is taken up. 18F-FMAU may also help find the cancer and how far the disease has
spread. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging test used to diagnose brain
tumors. 18F-FMAU PET/CT in addition to MRI may make the finding and diagnosing of brain tumor
easier.
Detailed Description
I. Assess the correlation between multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)
radiomics and dynamic 2'-fluoro-5-methyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (FMAU) PET kinetic
analysis parameters.
II. Explore the different pattern in radiomics mpMRI and FMAU PET kinetic analysis parameters
between patients with presence or absence of recurrent tumor.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive 18F-FMAU intravenously (IV) and undergo a PET/CT scan over 60 minutes.
Patients then undergo standard of care mpMRI over approximately 45 minutes.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 24-96 hours after their
18F-FMAU PET/CT scan.
