About this trial

This is a pilot imaging study in participants treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat brain metastasis. The purpose of this study is to see whether 18F-Fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET) can be used as a biomarker to measure response or progression of brain metastasis after SRS.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of cancer with radiographic finding of brain metastasis

Any number of brain metastasis, with all lesions ≤ 2 cm in maximum dimension

Planned treatment with SRS as per the treating physician team

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2

Disqualifiers

Prior anaphylactic reaction to 18F-fluciclovine

Radiographic evidence of leptomeningeal disease

Prior whole-brain radiation therapy

Inability to undergo MRI (e.g., due to safety reasons, such as presence of a pacemaker)

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 18F fluciclovine

    Drug

    Participants will receive 5-mCi dose (± 20%) of 18F-fluciclovine intravenously as a bolus injection immediately prior to PET data acquisition. PET data will be collected in list mode up to 25 minutes post-injection. PET images will be reconstructed in two ways: as a standard static image of data acquired between 10 to 20 minutes post-injection, and as a dynamic series of four 5-minute frames between 5 to 25 minutes post-injection to allow for motion assessment and correction and time-dependent observations.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Standardized Uptake Value (SUV)-peak

Each 18F-fluciclovine PET will undergo quantitative image analysis by the study nuclear medicine physician. The lesion on each PET will be correlated with the lesion on the corresponding contrast-enhanced MRI and will be delineated. The SUVpeak will be calculated for the pre-SRS and post-SRS imaging studies, as well as the percent change from pre to post will be calculated. Assuming SRS reduces the tumor size, a negative percent change (decrease) is expected.

Time frame
8 weeks
2

Change in SUVmean

Each 18F-fluciclovine PET will undergo quantitative image analysis by the study nuclear medicine physician. The lesion on each PET will be correlated with the lesion on the corresponding contrast-enhanced MRI and will be delineated. The SUVmean will be calculated for the pre-SRS and post-SRS imaging studies, as well as the percent change from pre to post will be calculated. Assuming SRS reduces the tumor size, a negative percent change (decrease) is expected.

Time frame
8 weeks
3

Change in SUVmax

Each 18F-fluciclovine PET will undergo quantitative image analysis by the study nuclear medicine physician. The lesion on each PET will be correlated with the lesion on the corresponding contrast-enhanced MRI and will be delineated. The SUVmax will be calculated for the pre-SRS and post-SRS imaging studies, as well as the change from pre to post will be calculated. Assuming SRS reduces the tumor size, a negative percent change (decrease) is expected.

Time frame
8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Tumor Control

Each lesion will be followed from pre-treatment PET to local failure or retreatment; death; lost-to follow-up, discontinuation, or withdrawal; or end of study. Local failure is defined as disease progression according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.

Time frame
12 months
