New imaging clues could sharpen brain tumor monitoring
NCT ID NCT07052877
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial explores whether a PSMA PET scan can detect changes in glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, after treatment with bevacizumab. About 20 adults with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma will receive PSMA scans before and after bevacizumab therapy. The goal is to see if PSMA expression on the scan changes with treatment, which could offer a new way to monitor tumor response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PSMA PET/CT scan (diagnostic imaging test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve how glioblastoma is monitored, helping doctors see tumor changes more clearly and guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage study, and PSMA PET may not reliably reflect tumor response. Results may not apply to all patients.
