About this trial
The purpose of this study is to see if 18F-fluciclovine (Axumin®) PET imaging is useful and safe in the management of children with High Grade Gliomas. Investigators seek to determine if this imaging will help doctors tell the difference between tumor growth (progression) and other tumor changes that can occur after treatment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
1. Histopathology-proven HGG (WHO grade III-IV) or DMG (WHO grade IV) or, in the case of DMG of the pons, imaging that is characteristic of Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) (diffusely infiltrating >=2/3 of the pons).
2. Measurable disease, measuring at least 1x1 cm.
3. Life expectancy of greater than 8 weeks.
4. Age > 1 years but < 21 years of age at enrollment.
Disqualifiers
1. Inability to tolerate imaging procedures in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician.
2. Pregnant or breastfeeding participants.
3. Participant who would require sedation or anesthesia for imaging beyond standard of care (SOC).
4. Participants who weigh less than 8 kg.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
18F-Fluciclovine PET-MRI
Drug18F-Fluciclovine will be injected via IV prior to Positron emission tomography (PET)-Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Image analysis
Comparison of Standardized uptake value (SUV) max, SUV peak, and uptake kinetics post radiation between participants who experience true progression versus those who experience pseudoprogression as confirmed by routine imaging.
Histopathology analysis
Evaluation of SUV uptake post radiation in participants with planned biopsy or resection who experience true progression versus those who experience pseudoprogression as confirmed by histopathology.
Secondary outcomes
Safety of 18F-Fluciclovine
The Safety profile of 18F-Fluciclovine PET in pediatric HGG participants will be assessed based on CTCAE 5.0 toxicity experienced after administration of 18F-Fluciclovine
