Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies fluordeoxyglucose (fludeoxyglucose) F-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in monitoring very early therapy response in patients with glioblastoma. Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG PET/CT, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment. Chemotherapy can induce very rapid changes to the tumor's glucose consumption which can be measured with imaging. FDG PET/CT shortly after the start of therapy may help identify very early therapy response in patients with glioblastoma.

  • Procedure: Computed Tomography
  • Radiation: Fludeoxyglucose F-18
  • Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To assess very early response to therapy in glioblastoma patients using 18F-FDG PET/CT.

  2. Evaluate very early changes in FDG uptake within 48 hours of start of therapy and correlate them with objective response parameters such as Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) and survival.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo standard FDG PET/CT scan 6-8 weeks before start of chemotherapy and one additional FDG PET/CT scan within 48 hours of the start of chemotherapy.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Changes in glucose uptake [From baseline up to 48 hours]

      Standardized uptake values (SUV) will be calculated for different organs and for regions of tumor. Further, regional target to background count-activity ratios will be established.

    2. Very early changes in tumor glucose uptake predictive for objective treatments response and survival assessed using RANO criteria [One PET/CT 48 hours after start of therapy]

      SUV will be calculated for different organs and for regions of tumor. Further, regional target to background count-activity ratios will be established.
