Study of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) Treatment Response Assessment With Fluciclovine PET MR

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between brain malignancy volume as defined by post-contrast T1 weighted and F18 Fluciclovine before and following LITT. We hypothesize that imaging with F18 Fluciclovine will be superior to anatomic MR imaging in lesion volume assessment before treatment and that residual F18 Fluciclovine defined tumor will predict local post-LITT disease recurrence.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05054400
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Primary Objectives. -To estimate the accuracy of F18 Fluciclovine PET MR for laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) treatment response assessment as determined by T1 post-contrast MR brain imaging. Secondary Objectives.

  • - To assess changes in F18 Fluciclovine defined disease with LITT.
  • - To assess the volume change of the idealized quantitative T1 values of lesions compared -To assess the volume change of idealized quantitative T2 values of lesions compared to -Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI - To assess the ability of CEST imaging to differentiate treatment change from residual disease in brain malignancy following LITT.
  • - Multiple B Value Diffusion Imaging (Adv Diff) - To assess whether Adv Diff can differentiate treatment changes from residual disease in brain malignancy following LITT.
  • - Gradient- and Spin-Echo DSC perfusion imaging - To assess whether GESE DSC improves differentiation of treatment change from residual disease in brain malignancy -Adv ASL perfusion imaging - To assess the ability of Adv ASL to differentiate treatment change from residual disease in brain malignancy following radiation therapy.
  • - Exploratory Objectives.
  • - To assess the relationship between post-LITT enhancing brain tissue and F18 -To assess changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) values after LITT.
