NCT05512403

Brief Summary

the investigators hypothesise that 18F-FDOPA PET kinetic parameters are good biomarkers to characterise suspected LGG brain lesions that exhibit no contrast on MRI, for identifying aggressive lesions. These parameters could constitute diagnostic biomarkers for this indication. This new diagnostic tool could enhance patient care in the short term in an evolving pathology affecting socially active subjects with a poor prognosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess diagnostic performances of 18F-FDOPA PET (Positon Emission Tomography) Time-To-Peak in suspected LGGs without MRI -contrast enhancement for characterisation of aggressive lesions

    the sensitivity, specificity, predictive positive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the 18F-FDOPA kinetic TTP parameter, to characterise aggressive lesions within suspected LGGs with no contrast enhancement on MRI at the initial diagnosis.

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • To assess the diagnostic performances of 18F-FDOPA "slope", to characterise aggressive lesions

    24 months

  • To assess the diagnostic performances of 18F-FDOPA SUV static conventional parameters and/or radiomics analyses associated with TTP kinetic parameter, to characterise aggressive lesions

    24 months

  • To assess, in patients suspected to have a non-contrast enhanced glioma at diagnosis the prevalence of aggressive forms within the suspected LGGs without any MRI contrast

    24 months

  • To assess, in patients suspected to have a non-contrast enhanced glioma at diagnosis the clinical impact of the 18F-FDOPA PET (positon emission tomography) Time-To-Peak parameter

    24 months

Study Arms (1)

Patients with Low Grade Glioma (LGG) without any MRI contrast enhancement

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients presenting with brain lesions that lack contrast enhancement on MRI, that are suspected to be LGGs and that are referred for biopsy or surgery within the following 6 months will be eligible for the study. The initial MRI should be performed a maximum of 3 weeks before patient inclusion and should at least include the conventional morphological sequences (T1, T1 sequences with injection of contrast product and T2 FLAIR). Patients will be selected in a neuro-oncological multidisciplinary consultation meeting.

Drug: PET/CT with 18F-DOPA

Interventions

A 18F-FDOPA PET exam is then performed (acquisition of 30 minutes in List Mode format) according to the French guidelines for PET neuro-oncological indications (Verger et al. Med Nuc, 2020, (5)). Patient preparation and acquisition: * 4 hours of fasting * No carbidopa premedication * 2 MBq / kg of 18F-FDOPA * Dynamic acquisition in List Mode format for 30 min starting simultaneously with the patient's injection * Low dose scanner for attenuation correction
