Study Summary

This trial will test if 18F-Fluciclovine is a useful and safe treatment for children with Low Grade Gliomas.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 1 to 21 with Low Grade Gliomas (brain tumors). They must have a tumor visible on MRI, be scheduled for systemic therapy, and have a certain level of physical ability. It's not for pregnant individuals, those needing extra sedation for scans, with kidney issues or very low body weight, or who can't avoid contact with infants/pregnant women post-injection.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the usefulness and safety of a diagnostic agent called 18F-Fluciclovine in PET-MRI scans before treatment starts and then at 3 months and 1 year after therapy begins. The changes in uptake will be compared to MRI measurements over time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, typical risks may include reactions at the injection site, discomfort from lying still during imaging procedures, potential allergic reactions to the tracer substance used in PET-MRI scans.
