New scan aims to solve critical brain tumor mystery for kids

NCT ID NCT05553041

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of PET scan using a tracer called 18F-fluciclovine can help doctors more accurately tell if a child's aggressive brain tumor is actually growing again or if the changes seen on a regular MRI are just a temporary reaction to treatment. It involves children and young adults (ages 1-21) with high-grade gliomas who have finished radiation and immunotherapy. The goal is to provide clearer information to guide treatment decisions.
