Official title
A Centralized Protocol Evaluating the Safety and Clinical Impact of Amino Acid Pet for Brain Tumors
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase II trial studies how well the addition of 18F-DOPA (amino acid) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to standard of care (SOC) imaging can improve the clinical management of patients with brain tumors in over 50% of cases. PET is an imaging test that helps to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (radiotracer) to show this activity. CT scan uses X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within the body. Combining a PET scan with a CT scan can help make the images easier to interpret. PET/CT scans are hybrid scanners that combine both of the two modalities into a single scan. This allows images of both anatomy (CT) and function (PET) to be taken during the same scan. The 18F-DOPA PET/CT scan is done with a very small amount of a radioactive tracer called FDOPA. The PET/CT scan is then used to detect the location of tumors. Using the 18FDOPA-PET/CT scan in addition to the SOC scan may improve the clinical management of patients with brain tumors.
