Brain tumor evolution tracked by advanced imaging in small trial
NCT ID NCT05386043
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study looks at how brain tumors (gliomas) change over time and whether advanced MRI and PET scans can predict those genetic changes. Twenty adults with suspected or confirmed glioma will have special PET scans before surgery, and their tumor tissue will be analyzed. The goal is to see if imaging can replace repeated biopsies and help guide treatment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
FET F-18, O-15 Radioisotope
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better imaging methods that predict tumor mutations without repeated biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all glioma patients. The imaging tools are experimental and may not reliably predict mutations.
