Compare two PET scans for meningioma before surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two similar PET scan medicines to see which one best helps identify meningiomas before surgery. If you’re getting pre-surgery testing, participating may help improve how doctors choose the best scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) with suspected meningioma
- You are having surgery soon and are doing the usual pre-surgery workup
- You have no known reasons you cannot safely receive either scan medicine (DOTATATE or DOTATOC)
- You can lie still on the scanner table for the length of the scan
- You do not have severe claustrophobia or severe pain that would prevent lying on the scanner table

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how well a special scan (Ga-68 DOTATATE PET combined with MRI) helps diagnose and guide treatment for certain brain tumors that have somatostatin receptors. It may help doctors better find tumor recurrence or remaining tumor after treatment.
This trial tests a special imaging agent called [Cu64]DOTATATE that helps surgeons see meningioma tumors during surgery. It may make tumor removal more complete and safer.
This trial uses a special PET scan (DOTATATE) to help plan radiation treatment for meningioma, a type of brain tumor. It aims to make radiation more precise, possibly reducing side effects.
This trial compares two types of PET scans to see which one better detects neuroendocrine tumors (rare cancers that grow slowly in the body). You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which imaging method works best.
This trial tests a new imaging method that uses a special dye to highlight a protein called Trop-2 found on some brain tumor cells. The goal is to see if this dye can help doctors see the tumor more clearly before surgery, which may improve surgical planning.
This study tests a new PET/CT scan (68Ga-MY6349) to see how well it finds tumors before surgery. If you have a confirmed tumor that your doctor plans to remove, the scan might give a clearer picture to guide the operation.
