Study Summary

This trial will test if Axumin can help doctors better understand how children's High Grade Gliomas are progressing after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged between 1 to 21 with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors) who are suspected of tumor progression. They must have a measurable disease, confirmed histopathology or characteristic imaging for DIPG, and a life expectancy over 8 weeks. It's not suitable for those unable to tolerate imaging procedures, under sedation beyond standard care, weighing less than 8 kg, or in close contact with pregnant women/infants post-injection.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the usefulness and safety of an imaging technique called 18F-fluciclovine PET-MRI in managing high-grade gliomas in children. The goal is to see if this method can accurately distinguish between actual tumor growth and changes that might look like progression but aren't harmful after treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, generally PET-MRI scans may cause discomfort due to the need to stay still during the procedure. There could also be risks associated with exposure to radiation from the scan itself.
