PET/MRI scan study for newly diagnosed brain cancer changes
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a newly diagnosed grade III or grade IV glioma (a type of brain tumor) and have started standard radiation therapy
- You are at least 10 years old
- You can have the PET/MRI scan without full anesthesia (minimal anxiety medicine is allowed)
- If you can become pregnant, your pregnancy test must be negative right before the scan medicine is given
- Your overall functioning is good enough for the study (adults: ECOG 2 or less; younger than 16: Lansky score 60 or higher)
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (GFR is 30 or higher)

This early-phase study uses a special PET scan plus MRI to help doctors tell apart tumor changes in children with aggressive gliomas. It may help find whether treatment is working or if the tumor is progressing, while also mapping tumor activity in the brain.
This study uses MRI scans and related brain/cognitive testing while you receive standard chemotherapy and radiation for a high-grade brain tumor. It aims to see how MRI measures and brain testing may relate to your treatment response or brain function.
This study uses special scans (PET and MRI) to look at brain tumors in more detail. It aims to understand tumor metabolism and oxygen levels, which may help guide treatment.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can tell the difference between actual tumor growth and treatment-related changes in people with aggressive brain cancer (high-grade glioma). If you have had radiation and an MRI shows a growing lesion, this study may help clarify the cause.
This early-phase study tests how well a special PET-MRI scan (using a radioactive tracer) can find and measure low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors better track these tumors while you start or continue treatment.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
