A Pilot Study to Assess the Clinical Utility of 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) PET-CT for Detecting True-versus Pseudo-Progression of Brain Metastases on Immunotherapy
Sponsor
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Enrollment
20 participants
Start Date
Nov 7, 2024
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To learn if 18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) PET-CT scans can be used to better detect brain metastatic lesions in patients who are receiving immunotherapy.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This pilot study is testing whether a special PET scan using a tracer called 18F-fluciclovine (Axumin) can help doctors tell the difference between true cancer progression and pseudoprogression (when a tumor looks like it's growing on a scan but is actually the immune system reacting to immunotherapy) in patients with brain metastases receiving immunotherapy.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You are 18 or older
- You have documented brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain)
- You are currently receiving immunotherapy for your cancer
- At least one brain lesion is suspected to be pseudoprogression (not definite tumor growth) on a standard scan
- You are in reasonably good health (ECOG ≤2) with a life expectancy of at least 3 months
- You are willing to undergo a follow-up Axumin PET scan within ~60 days
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You are under 18
- You have no brain metastases
- You are not currently on immunotherapy
- You are unable to undergo the additional PET scan or follow-up visits
