DRARCH Trial Summary

This trial will test if PET imaging can detect cancer spread earlier than MRI, helping to better tailor treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a high-grade glioma brain tumor (WHO grade III or IV) who have finished or are undergoing standard therapy. They must not be pregnant, agree to use birth control, and be able to give consent. People can't join if they're claustrophobic, have certain medical devices, kidney issues, allergies to MRI/ PET scan materials, or are in another interfering trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether PET scans using a tracer called fluciclovine can more accurately detect if a brain tumor has come back after treatment compared to traditional MRI scans. It aims to identify true tumor recurrence earlier.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the fluciclovine PET imaging may include allergic reactions to the tracer and discomfort due to lying still during the scan. The procedure involves exposure to a small amount of radiation.
