Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Central Nervous System Malignant Tumor

Subjects may receive up to two CEST MRI's tests and/or up to two F-DOPA PET. The physician will determine which test is appropriate based on your tumor type, past treatment history and research question. Tests will be completed at initial baseline visit and at least one other MRI/PET after the initial baseline, up to a maximum of four scans.

Diagnostic Test: F-DOPA Positron Emission Tomography
Imaging using a F-DOPA radioactive tracer to look at the head.
Other Names:
  • F-DOPA-PET scan
  • Diagnostic Test: Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Magnetic Resonance Imaging
    A noninvasive diagnostic test for measuring biochemical changes in the brain, especially the presence of tumors.
    Other Names:
  • CEST MRI
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of subjects in whom glutamate metabolite is detected and measurable. [Baseline]

      Number of subjects in whom glutamate metabolite is detected and measurable via CEST MRI in tumor, brain, and/or the ventricular space.

    2. Number of subjects in whom n-acetylaspartate (NAA) metabolite is detected and measurable. [Baseline]

      Number of subjects in whom n-acetylaspartate (NAA) metabolite is detected and measurable via CEST MRI in tumor, brain, and/or the ventricular space.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time required to perform the CEST MRI study and measure metabolites of interest [Duration of CEST MRI scan, approximately one to two hours.]

      Total time expressed in minutes required to perform the CEST MRI study and measure metabolites of interest.
