Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new imaging agent can help find brain tumors that have come back or are still there after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a confirmed diagnosis of glioma or metastatic brain tumor who have already undergone surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. It's not suitable for those with liver or kidney issues, MRI contraindications like pacemakers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone allergic to the imaging agent used.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Axumin (fluciclovine-F18) combined with PET/CT scans alongside standard MR imaging to detect if brain tumors have come back or if there are changes after initial treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site from Axumin (fluciclovine-F18), as well as typical risks associated with PET/CT and MR imaging such as discomfort from lying still during the scan.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) been previously tested via PET/CT in other clinical trials?

"At the moment, 7 clinical trials are observing PET/CT with F-Fluciclovine (Axumin), of which one is in Phase 3. 28 different medical centres across the USA have studies running on this topic; a majority of them being located in Boston, Massachusetts."

Answered by AI

Has the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved PET/CT with F-Fluciclovine (Axumin)?

"While there is a limited amount of information available on PET/CT with F-Fluciclovine's (Axumin) efficacy, the safety data for this phase 2 trial secured it a score of two."

Answered by AI

Does this experiment represent an unprecedented undertaking?

"Since 2019, PET/CT with F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) has been subjected to multiple clinical trials. The inaugural study in this field was sponsored by Telix International Pty Ltd and had 140 participants. Following the success of Phase 1 testing, a second round of tests were approved for Phase 2 drug status. Currently, 7 active studies are underway across 21 cities worldwide."

Answered by AI

Is there an open enrollment period for this research endeavor?

"Information retrieved from clinicaltrials.gov confirms that the medical trial, initially posted on August 24th 2020 and most recently modified on August 25th 2022, is currently enrolling participants."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum number of participants being accepted into this research project?

"Affirmative, clinicaltrials.gov displays that this medical experiment is actively seeking participants. It was first advertised on August 24th 2020 and edited most recently on August 25th 2022. In total, 20 patients are needed from a single site."
