Study Summary

This trial will test if a new imaging tech is safe and effective for imaging brain tumors. It will also explore if it can accurately distinguish tumors from radiation effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a life expectancy of more than 12 weeks. It includes healthy volunteers, those with high-grade glioma after radiation, and patients with brain metastases from other tumors. Women able to have children must test negative for pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
[F-18]MeFAMP PET imaging is being tested to see if it's safe and how well it can show primary and metastatic brain tumors. The study has three parts: one for healthy people, one for glioma patients, and another for those with brain metastases.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is the first time [F-18]MeFAMP PET is used in humans, part of the study aims to establish its safety profile. Potential side effects are not detailed but will be monitored throughout the trial.
