PET scan spots immune activity in brain tumors without surgery

NCT ID NCT06650163

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests a special PET imaging agent that highlights immune cells (CD8+ T-cells) in brain tumors. About 20 adults with brain tumors scheduled for surgery will receive an injection of the imaging agent before their PET scan. The goal is to see if this non-invasive method can accurately map immune activity, potentially reducing the need for repeated biopsies and helping doctors choose better immunotherapies.
