About this trial

The purpose of this study is to see if 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin®) is useful and safe in the management of children with Low Grade Gliomas (LGG). Imaging with 18F-Fluciclovine PET-MRI will be performed prior to initiation of therapy for LGG, and then 3 months, and 1 year after starting therapy. Changes in 18F-Fluciclovine uptake will be compared to changes in MRI measurements at 3 months and 1 year as compared to baseline.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

LGG including the brainstem and supratentorial only (WHO grade I-II), confirmed by biopsy unless in NF1 participants with classic appearance.

Participants must have evaluable disease (1x1 cm tumor on MRI)

Scheduled to receive systemic therapy for LGG

Performance Score: Karnofsky ≥ 50 for participants > 16 years of age and Lansky ≥ 50 for participants ≤ 16 years of age. Participants who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair, will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.

Disqualifiers

Inability to tolerate imaging procedures in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician

Pregnant participants

Participants who weigh less than 8 kg.

Participants who cannot avoid contact with a pregnant woman or infant for at least 12 hours following injection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Compare change in standardized uptake value parameters (SUVmax and SUVpeak) on metabolic tumor volume in 18F-Fluciclovine PET

To identify change in the standardized uptake value (SUV) parameters (SUVmax, SUVpeak) for the 18F-Fluciclovine PET scan

Time frame
1 year
2

Compare changes in pretreatment tumor measurement on MRI in pediatric participants who initiate systemic treatment for LGG

Calculate the change in tumor measurement on MRI

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Safety of 18F-Fluciclovine

The Safety profile of 18F-Fluciclovine PET in pediatric LGG participants will be accessed by the CTCAE 5.0 toxicity experienced after administration of 18F-Fluciclovine

Time frame
13 months
