NCT02176720

Brief Summary

It was previously shown that \[18F\]Fluorodopa (FDOPA) PET imaging results in intended management changes in 41% of brain tumor patients. However, its impact on patient outcome defined as survival, costs, and/or quality of life has not been demonstrated. Regulatory agencies require randomized trials to determine the impact of PET on patient management and outcome. In this study we hypothesize that the addition of FDOPA PET will improve patient outcome by more accurately identifying presence or absence of tumor recurrence than conventional imaging.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic accuracy compared to standard diagnostics without PET

    Imaging findings will be validated by histopathology, clinical follow-up and/or repetitive imaging. If no histopathology within 3 months is available, clinical follow-up and imaging findings will be used for validation. If within 6 months of randomization no clinical progression nor progression on other imaging modalities is found, the patient will be rated as "no disease present at time of imaging".

    5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Impact of FDOPA PET on patient management

    [ Time Frame: 7 years ]

Study Arms (2)

Standard diagnostics without PET

NO INTERVENTION

Standard of care brain imaging modalities, predominantly MRI

FDOPA PET-CT

EXPERIMENTAL

PET-CT with administration of FDOPA as an experimental radiopharmaceutical. This arm includes standard of care imaging plus FDOPA PET-CT

Drug: FDOPA PET

Interventions

\[18F\]FDOPA radiopharmaceutical will be intravenousely injected for PET-CT scanning of the brain.

Also known as: FDOPA PET-CT, Fluorine-18-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine, Fluorine-18-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine PET, Fluorine-18-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine PET-CT, [18F]FDOPA, [18F]FDOPA PET, [18F]FDOPA PET-CT
