A Study of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET Scans in People With Brain Tumors

Study on using 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scans for brain tumors.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is testing a special scan called 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. This scan helps doctors see how active a brain tumor is. It’s for adults who have brain tumors called high-grade glioma (HGG) or brain metastases, which means cancer has spread to the brain from another part of the body.

Participants must be at least 18 years old and have a brain tumor that is either suspected or confirmed. They should be planning to have a biopsy, which is when a small piece of the tumor is taken out to study. The lesion (tumor area) must be at least 1 cm in size. People who cannot handle tight spaces or have certain medical implants might not be able to join. Pregnant women or those who are nursing cannot participate.

  • The study involves undergoing a special scan to see tumor activity.
  • Participants need to be able to have a biopsy or surgery planned.
  • People with certain health issues or allergies may not be eligible.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
