Study summary

This pilot clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (68Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in finding brain tumors in younger patients. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT imaging, may help find and diagnose brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if 68Ga-DOTATOC (gallium Ga 68-edotreotide) PET when combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will differentiate embryonal tumors such as medulloblastoma and supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) from the low and high grade gliomas.

II. To determine if 68Ga-DOTATOC PET will aid in the identification of residual tumor post operatively in those patients who were 68Ga-DOTATOC PET positive prior to surgery.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT at baseline and 1-30 days after surgery.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients presenting with brain tumors will be eligible for this study
  • Eligible subjects must be able and willing to undergo the procedures of the study
  • Electronic version of pre-surgery MRI must be available for co-registration purposes
  • Fresh frozen tumor, and/or paraffin block of or resected tumor is recommended, but not required to determine expression of somatostatin receptors in tumor by immunohistochemistry and/or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Presence of pacemakers, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves, ear implants, metal fragments or foreign objects in the eyes, skin of body that would preclude obtaining an MRI as part of the initial study evaluation
  • Inability to complete the needed and standard-of-care imaging examinations due to other reasons
  • Presence of any additional medical condition such as inter-current illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, may significantly interfere with study compliance
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in standardized uptake value (SUV) uptake after gallium Ga 68-edotreotide

    The endpoint is a binary outcome (+ or -) of SUV uptake (after gallium Ga 68-edotreotide) and a binary outcome confirmed at biopsy (+ or -).

    Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days

  2. Proportion of discordance and concordance between gallium Ga 68-edotreotide and biopsy

    Time frame: Up to 30 days
